Hi there,

I hope you are doing okay and I am sorry to hear that you are a bit worried. Unfortunately, we cannot exactly control our height so you may or may not continue growing. However, some biological males can continue growing until they are at least 18, and biological females may continue growing until 16. Therefore, you may grow taller as the rate it likely to slow after the initial growth spurt. Regardless, your height does not define you. Most people will value confidence and personality in a person above things like height.

I hope that helped to ease your mind!
