Wow.... Reading this actually makes me feel like I might be normal. I'm in eighth grade, and full grown(I think). It's really awkward because everyone is shorter than me, and kind of embarrassing, because one of my teachers keeps picking on me to get her stuff off a high shelf. Last I was measured it was in USA, so I'm five feet eight inches. I wish we could switch to metric. It's so much less confusing. The google inches to cm converter says 172.72

I really doubt you are fully grown in eighth grade. I'm from the UK so I don't know the age you would be in eighth grade - Wikipedia said 13-14 so I'll go with 14. If you're female you could have as many as 4-5 years growth to go and if you are male you could have as many as 8. Obviously you don't do nearly as much growing in these final years but you could easily still reach 180cm (edit: ok maybe not *easily* but it's possible).

I'm a 13 year old girl. And I started growing really early. My doctor thought I would be 5 feet 2 inches and recommended putting me on growth hormone(very glad that didn't happen). My dad is 6 feet nearly 2 inches, and my mother is 5 feet six inches, and the m***et in her family. And I haven't grown any in nearly a year. I'm pretty sure I'm done. Still awkwardly tall. I want to move to the Netherlands, where I'd be average height, except I don't speak the language, and I'd stand out because I have brown eyes and hair.

It's very possible. 14 is a very normal age to stop growing at if you're a girl. I've come across people who stopped growing at 10.
