Hello Anonymous,
If you read Daisy's original reply and my answer to a similar post, you will find the answer to your question.
There is nothing you can do to stop growing. Most likely, you have reached your maximum height.

Hello Anonymous,
Please do not commit suicide over this. Are you male or female? How tall are your parents?
Most likely you are at the end of your growth and should not grow more than one or two more inches. Consider talking with your pediatrician or primary care physician. I do not think you need to fear that you will grow to a height of seven feet.

Hi Anon,
Welcome to EmpowHER. There is no way of knowing when will you stop growing. Your genes which you inherited from your parents, largely determine how tall you will end up being and how fast you'll grow.
For female children, puberty begins between the ages of 10 – 11 and is usually complete by age 15 – 17. After the onset of puberty, adolescents experience a growth spurt, which lasts up to two years. During this period of growth, female adolescents will grow up to 3 inches a year. Adolescents stop growing as puberty ends, when the growth plates where bones grow fuse. If you feel concerned about your height. It's important to let your parents and doctor know.
Best,
Daisy
