    Boy or girl?

    Chances are you are at the end of your growth, but growth can continue until about the age of 18 or 19, but it probably won't be much.

    They say boys have till about 21 to grow, girls generally slow down at the beginning of puberty and stop by 18.
    Its not always right though. I grew to my height by 14 and only 1/2" after that. On the other hand, some kids were short Juniors and came back 4" taller as Seniors in high school. It can happen.

    The best way to figure it out is look at your parents and grandparents. If they're on the short side, you may be too.

    Well, sometimes you still have time to grow until you are 19 or 20, just be patient, you might grow more, but that height is completely normal
