I fell on ice, hit my head & got concussion ice skating when i was 12. i'm now 16 & havnt grown since. is it possible the concussion stunted my height?

Not likely: Not likely at all. An injury can have an affect on growth, but this is usually temporary. Consider a good checkup including x-rays to see if your growth plates are still open and a basic endocrine workup. Thank you.
