Girls height usually occurs upto 16 years roughly. So your height will probably not increase a lot from here on. 5 feet 4 is good height as per your parents height. So don't worry about your height. Concentrate on your good qualities and strong points instead on focusing on height. If you still have doubts, meet an adolescent counsellor or Pediatrician
