At what age do Girls stop growing taller?!


Question:

At what age do Girls stop growing taller?

Is it true that you stop growing when you have your period? I am 15 and i'm 5'1. I got my period when i was about 13 yrs old & barely growing at all. Can exercise help? Any advice please!


Answers:

Exercise could help speed it up but rarely ever does.
Take a look at your parents and/or siblings. Genetics counts too.
It's perfectly normal to not grow much and you may not even notice that you are.
The age, although, varies between people and I'm sure its anywhere between 16-19. I'm not so sure though.
And about the period thing, not so sure about that one either.

Just let nature take its place and dont worry about it so much.
But if it drives you nuts, I recommend you consult with a doctor.

Best of Luck,
Sophie
