I am a senior in highschool. i am around 5 ft. i was wondering if i can grow 3 inches more. both of my parents are tall. its odd because i am not tall?

Maybe/not: Women usually continue to grow until 2-3 yrs after the first menses. Most stop by 16-17 but some continue. An x-ray of your wrist/hand could be assessed for open growth centers. If open you can grow more, if closed not.
