Will I grow anymore or am I done?
I am 14 and I am 5'2". I haven't grown since April 2008 and its October 2009 now.
My dad is 5'11" and my mom is 5'2".
However, my dad's dad was 6'2" and his wife was 5'11" and both of my sisters are at lest 5'8". And my dad's grandpa was 6'7".
That means that the dominant tall trait should have gone to me too right?
Do you think I am done growing or will I grow some more?
Will I have a growth spurt anytime soon?
Please only serious answers.

A lot of people stop growing in their teens. I stopped when I was 16 years old. But some people manage to grow a little later on. My sister just came home from college for the first time, and she told me that she had grown while she was away. She is almost taller than me now, so there is still hope for you to grow taller if you eat the right foods and stuff.

You have not finished the puberty yet. Likely to grow taller.
If you wanna grow taller :
* ADVICE FOR HEIGHT__
Good intake of calcium daily as found in various foodstuffs like tonned milk, banana, ragi, nachni, yogurt, my favourite nachos with cheese..
a best way i cud advice is to have milk shakes(chocolate, coffee flavoure) 2-3 times a day as an replacement for tea, coffee is a good alternative...
Good sleep aftr exercises helps ur bones to relax and expand.. Atlest 8hrs good sleep at night...
Remember food without exercises or exercises without food wont help you much.
Also there are genetics n familial relationships related to height.. i.e if either ur parents are short heighted or either ur brother , sister.. than there are little chances for increase in height...BUT keep a positive attitude follow the daily regimen of food n exercises.If you goin to gym regularly, i wud advice not to perform any weight lifting exercises... stritctly NO..

Girls can grow until they're around 16. I stopped growing in like 8th grade around age 14. You may or may not have one last spurt, but I doubt you'll be as tall as your sisters. Only time will tell. You may end up being short like your mom.

I'm also 14 and only 5'2. Girls tend to stop growing when they hit about 16 years old. My mom is 5'1 and my dad is 6'3, so i'll be somewhere in the middle. You don't have to worry about it because you still have 2 more years to grow, as do I.
And remember...you're not short, just fun-size :)
