Specializes in General Practice

Genetics: Nope. You cannot stop yourself from growing if your genes have programmed you this way. You are getting close to the age when you will probably stop growing, but this is a bit off for now. Perhaps your height will lead to some great opportunities. Studies have repeatedly shown that taller women make more money in general than their shorter counterparts.
