When Wil I stop growing I am too Tall!?!


Question: I am to tall does anyone know if I might stop growing soon!


Answers: I am to tall does anyone know if I might stop growing soon!

Girls go through growth spurts earlier than boys, and finish earlier than boys. For a while, guys will be shorter than you, but then they'll grow and be taller.

You don't say how tall you are, but in most cases girls stop growing within a range (5'2"-5'8".) you might grow taller than this, but if you do you're in a much smaller group of women (but take heart, lots of super models are in that group with you!)

Rarely, people are born with a serious growth problem and do grow too tall, but now days doctors recognize this condition and can treat it to minimize the effects. The odds are very good that you DON'T have this condition.

Good luck!

You will stop growing when the growth plates in your bones close. You can get an idea but not a definite answer by getting an x-ray of the the growth plate. If your parents are tall most likely you are going to be tall. Also you didn't mention how old you were but most people stop growing when they get closer to their late teens early 20's.

Females usually stop growing at 15 and often earlier and sometimes later.
