My younger sister is taller than me

I am 14 years old while my younger sister who is 12 years is taller than me. Although my dad has assured me that I will soon overtake her, I am still worried if I can still be as tall as her. Kindly advise.

Your dad is right. In many cases, female children usually grow faster than their male counterparts only to later cease from growing while the male will now grow and later overtake her.
