I am neither a physician nor a specialist, but I have 3 boys. As I understand it, kids grow in spurts, where the body will increase in size, then it will kind of pause to catch its breath while the brain and organs catch up. My guess would be that you were in one of these lulls (so you simply didn't grow), and made a mistake in one of your measurements (not standing straight, measuring device not level across the top of your head, wrote it down wrong, or some such). REALLY growing shorter would be an indication of osteoporosis (unlikely at your age) or scoliosis, which you would most likely already be aware of if you had it. But really, what's the hurry?
