I think it sounds like you are not far off your parents though.  I'd expect you'll grow some but be realistic about your genes---  not tall parents usually equal not tall child.  Height is hereditary.  good luck

Hi there and welcome.  Well, the truth is, we are what we are.  How tall are your parents?  That's a pretty big predictor of your eventual stature.  I am not super tall myself at a whopping 5 foot 4 (roughly 30 cm to a foot).  I grew, however, two full inches in college.  If you menstruated late, you may have a couple of substantial growth spurts coming still.  My sister is just under 5 foot.  Full grown adult.  She just isn't tall,  But neither was our dad or our grandmother.  I have two sons, one in the 90th percentile for height and one in the 20th.  No telling how genes will distribute.  You just have to stay healthy, eat well, exercise, get plenty of water and rest and use your mind a lot.  Life will be fine no matter your height,  

If there was a problem with your growth hormone or something like that, your doctor would see at your well visits that you aren't growing appropriately.  

So, this is just who you are hon.  And you really aren't far behind the height you mention most other girls are that you know.  Hang in there.  good luck
