Hard to say: Women on average stop growing earlier than men, usually around 17 or 18. You might be between growth spurts, or you might be finished growing. A lot of your final height depends on genetics- the height of your parents. Just remember though, the height you end up at was the height you were meant to be. There is no right or wrong height. Hope this helps!
