Question 2

i wonder if i stunted my growth by being not having a well planned vegetarian diet at age 13 to 14, i got my period at 10-11 yrs. old.

No: If your period started at age 10 to 11 and you were previously  taller than your peers you may have had precocious puberty and subsequent early closure of the growth plates due to accelerated maturation of your bone age.
