How tall can I possibly grow?
I'm 14 1/2 years old 5'7''. My dad is only 5'4'' and my mom is 5'5'', but every guy on her side is at least 6ft. There are plenty who are 6'2''+, including a couple 6'7''. Even a couple of women on her side are 5'11'' or 6ft.
The most growth I've had was 2.5'', so I don't think I've gotten a growth spurt. Can I still get one? And can I grow to 6ft+?

How tall you get is dependent on two things; your genetics, and your overall health. The genetic factor puts an absolute maximum on your height; if it's not in your genes for you to be more than six feet tall, then nothing you do will change that. However, whether you reach that maximum (whatever it is) or stop a few inches short of it depends on how well you eat and take care of your general health.
If you're 5'7" at 14, then you could easily top out over six feet by the time you're done. I was about 5'8" at 14, and I finally stopped growing at 6'6". You probably haven't had your major teenage growth spurt yet, so you can safely count on getting taller.

yeah your just starting puberty you haven't even started growing yet, you definitely have time and since you are already that tall i bet you will get a lot taller throughout your next few years don't worry!
