I am 16 year old girl i've been getting more hungry than usual and i have leg cramps does it mean it's a growth spurt? im 4'10 and supposed to be 5'4

It's possible: That you're having a growth spurt, however most girls have reached their adult height around age 13. Girls usually have one last growth spurt before they start having their periods, and then they're done growing. Everyone is a little different and it is important to talk to your parents and doctor about your concerns about your height.
