I'm a 17-year-old girl and I'm 5'2", but I'm not sure if I'm going to grow any taller. On my dads side of the family, they're all pretty talllike 5'5" is considered short, and most of them are around 5'7". My moms side isnt really that tall. I'm feeling kinda worried about being shorter than Id like, especially compared to my dad's side, and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to possibly get taller. What should I know or think about when it comes to growing taller at my age?
