Will I grow more?

I'm a girl. Im 15 and 2 months old, & Im 5'0. My dad is 6ft and I'm just a little bit taller than my mom. I'm more on my dads side but I heard that the daughter usually ends up being the size of the mother.. Everyone else in my family (cousins, aunts, uncles) are tall. My 12 yr old brother is just a pinkys length shorter. I exercise somewhat (i usually exercise during the school year.) but I am starting to exercise more regularly. I eat pretty healthy but I'm not a health nut. Lately, because it's summer, I've been going to bed late and waking up around 9-10. I get maybe 7-9 hours of sleep. Will I grow any taller?

If your father is six feet but you're five feet and taller than your mother than you most likely have your mother's height. You have another four years to grow so you could become as tall as five foot four maybe.

Guys grow til they are about 22 years of age. Girls usually stop growing at 15 or 16

Your height is genetic. The exercise and stuff is good but wont help your height. You are just about at the age where you will stop growing. You might get another inch or two.... not unheard of to have a little more of a growth spurt but dont hope for it.
What is wrong with being 5 ft tall? Lots of guys love smaller girls.

Im turning 15 on september 5th and im 5"11 and my mom is like 5"8-5"9 and my dad is 5"4 so it must be that people get their height from their mothers cause my dads mom is short
