Thanks for contacting HCM
I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with gaining too much height. This is not something you have control over. Your father and mother's genetics will determine your height. You are in your growth spurt age and should stop growing soon . Girls have their growth spurt earlier than boys but they will catch up later.
Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with any of your questions.
