Normally, in a healthy adolescent with good nutrition and few serious illnesses, you can expect to approximate the same gender parent. In Males, puberty ends 3-5 years after it starts. (usually around 17). Your GH injections have brought you to a height of 5'2", you may expect to grow at least 1-2 inches in the next year. Avoid illnesses and eat a diet rich in protein.
