Why haven’t I had a growth spurt?

I asked my parents and they said theyve never noticed me suddenly sprout up throughout any part of my life.
Im 15 years old nearly and Im 4′11. My parents are 4′11 (mum) and 5′6 (dad).
I had my period almost two years ago but ive missed it for a whole year due to
1. Irregularness
2. Anorexia for 7 months,
I know I shouldnt expect to be tall… But I havent even had a growth spurt???
Why?? Its not fair =[ Will I grow taller? My feeling is that the anorexia has deprived you of minerals you need to grow, like calcium. Keep up your vitamin intake, and take in enough vitamin-rich food, and this may sort itself out.
Having said that though, your mum is the same height as you and your Dad’s not that tall for a guy either, so it may just be that this is as tall as you’re going to be. You keep growing until you’re 16 so you still have a wee way to go, so maybe you’ll have a spurt soon but then again you may not.
You’ve missed your periods because of your anorexia. I hope you’re over the anorexia - it’s a horrible thing to go through and life is so much better without it. Best of luck to you 
lol im only an inch taller than you tall. Just think of it this way, would you rather be 6 foot and bulky or petite and short?
Guys usually go for someone smaller than them.
Plus your parents arent that tall either, so that could be it.
AAAAnd anorexia could’ve had something to do with it. Or if you were in gymnastics, it could have compacted the growth plates in your ankles and cause a stunt growth.
It’s most likely your genes though.
