To be the tallest female is a matter of pride these days.Enjoy this. You can not become shorter but if you are still gaining height then consult endocrinologist

Be proud of your height which people long for. Height can be reduced but not necessary.
thanks for choosing health care magic.See till the age of 14 years (applicable to most of girls) the bone ends grow and you gain height.once you achieve puberty means you start having your periods and other feminine organs develop your height stops growing.So if you are above this age your height is fixed.You can not increase or decrease.This kind of things also depend upon your family trait means most of tall mothers have tall daughters.so remove apprehension this things not matters much in life.enjoy life.
