How tall could I possibly end up being?

My mother is 5'3.5 and has a size 6 shoe

My father is 5'8.5 and size 10 in shoes

My brother is 5'9.5 and size 11.5 in shoes ( He is 17)

And I'm 14, 5'6, and size 9.5 in shoes.

I'm not athletic at all :/ I have no coordination. Most people consider me to be tall, but I find myself to be quite short. I am Indian, and Indians are usually very short. I do eat a lot of vegetables, but I tend to avoid meats because i don't like the texture or taste of them. I eat 2 scrambled eggs and drink 2% milk almost every morning. I don't get much physical exercise, though. I got my period in November of 2010, when I was 12 year old. I've grown about 3 inches since then.

So, Y!Answerers, how tall do you think I could get to be?

Update:

I'm a girl!

    If you're under 16, you'll most likely keep growing. Guys grow until they're 18 at max.

    You really are tall though, I don't see this issue. It's true that most indian guys are short, so you shouldn't feel bad.

    Genetics is the biggest factor. I never ate vegetables when I was younger (except carrots) and I grew to ~5'8. Being a girl, that's quite above average!

    Don't worry about it, you still have time
