i believe so. it's possible for u to still grow. my mom told me at about 22 or 23 is when u stop growing, but DON'T WORRY, there are many people who grow late; ex: my parents



Everyone is telling you that girls/women dont stop growing until around under 18 and what
not. That is not for everyone !

Here's the truth- Girls stop growing HEIGHTWISE around two years after their first period. Boobies and other stuff keep developing but height is about 2 years after first period.

You must be a late bloomer in a way. I think you are almost done growing. Those "couple inches" you grew in the summer was your last and biggest growth spurt, so i believe you are about done growing. You might grow a teensy bit more but you need to talk to a doctor, and she can give you the full info.

Also, you get a lot of height genes from your parents. There are many good websites that explain that. http://www.teengrowth.com/index.cfm?acti…
No height calculator can be accurate.. but the info is good.

It's kind of funny, I am in the same situation as you ! I just turned fifteen around 5 months ago and I am a late bloomer. I still havent gotten my period and so i know i still am growing. i talked to my doctor about it and she said girls dont stop growing until 2 years or so after their first period. my boobs grew in the summer and i grew a couple inches out of no where too !

It is okay to be that height, its not too tall or too short..
I used to be soooo worried about my height but now Im cool with it :)

ME !



Yes, I would think so. I got my period when I turned nine and had all of my "parts" then. But I also haven't grown since I was eleven. I'm 4'10" and my parents and 5'6" and 5'10".



Maybe another inch or two, but for us women we stop growing before men. I would think you will probably get a little taller.



i think u will get about 2 or 3 inches taller cause girl just dnt grow that tall inless there like from an amazon state wich u r from america so yah ur good



Women stop growing at the age of 16-18 normally.



you don't fully stop growing until you're 16-18, but its hard to tell, you'll just have to wait it out and see!
