I know nutrition effects growth I had an eating diorder since I was 14 and I have been a vegitariean since I was like 5 or 6. I do try to eat more now. So is there mabe anything I can do to grow?

Of course each and everyone of us are different and we stop our growth upeward at various and differnet times. Around 18 is where most stop their growth although you may be able to grow some over the next few years.

But you are the height you are, there is nothing at all wrong with 5'5,

Well hun I'm not sure I'm 17 and I'm about 5 foot but no tallerand I'm not sure ifim going to even grownemore.. lol.. so if you get ne info help meout.. hahah

You can always ask your Doctor.

He/She will be in the best position to advise you.

When I was 10ish, my Doctor said I would grow to about 5'10, and guess what, he was pretty darn close.

At age 18 you're probably done growing. 5'5" is a perfectly normal height for an adult female so I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I don't think so. Yet, you should be taller than your mom.

Even though most women stop growing when they are 18, from personal experience I can tell you that I stayed the same height from the time I was 16 until I was 18. When I went away to college, I grew another 2 inches. So, there is always a possibility you might grow. As long as you are eating healthy, all you can do is wait and see.
