Answers: Some people say 17 then they say 19, 20 ,21 etc.... what the real age girls stop growing.

The height that you achieve depends on several factors:
1) The genes you inherit from your parents
2) The age you enter puberty (when you start to develop sexually)
3) the age you have your first period (if you're a girl) and
4) your general health. If you have a chronic disease, for example, this will affect your height. Most young women achieve their full height within 12 to 18 months after their first period. (around 16 years old) Most young men tend to stop growing at the end of puberty when they begin to shave regularly. (around 18 years old)

but mainly girls stop growing around 17-18 and guys 20-21

every woman is different but the common age is 21

It depends on the person. I'm 20 and reached my height half a year ago. I COULD keep growing since my mother did in her early 20s, but I doubt it. It ranges and typically has to do with genetics.

Each woman is entirely different. I was 10 when I reached my height of 5'5". My niece was 22 when she finished growing at 5' 2" tall.

About 17

They stop puberty around 16, once the breasts are developed and they have begun their periods.

Your breasts can continue to grow until your 20s, depending on your weight.

A woman will stop growing taller around the same time she stops puberty.

Every woman is different. Ask your doctor next time you go, s/he should be able to tell you approx how tall you will be according to your growth plates and if you talk to your mother you could find out when she stopped growing to get a rough idea of your timeline

in average in 16-20 y/o
