You tend to stop growing 2 years after your period,

I started when I was 11 too. ANND it was at school...and i was wearing a WHITE MINI SKIRT! Anyway, I'm 13 now and I've probably grown 3 or 4 inches since then. Not a lot, but you'll keep on growing until you're 18.

ur 11! your not trou growing!!!!!!

No, you don't stop growing right when you get your first period. You will still notice some growth, just not as much as before your period. You will stop growing around 18.

I was 1.45m when i got my period (three years ago) and now I am 15.5m. I just grew a bit slower than I did before.

Just because your periods have started doesn't mean you will stop growing. My wife started having periods when she was 12. I don't know when she stopped growing. When we became engaged and she started taking the pill she grew an inch that summer.

you might grow if its in your family being tall but if not you might only grow a couple inches

You grow until you are 19 or even into your early 20's. Regardless of your period.

Most professionals will say that girls tend to stop growing within 3 years of their first period. The growth also slows down to 1-2 inches per year (before it would have been 2-3 inches a year on average).
