Do you stop growing after your period? Am i just the short one or just havent hit my growth spirt?? plzz help.

Answer 1

NO.  That's an old wives tale.

You're only 13 and will grow more.

You stop growing around 18.  It doesn't matter when you get your period.

Your period does not determine your height.  Genetics does.

You may grow about as tall as your mom.

Answer 2

NO you don't stop growing after your period I am 6' 2" and 32 and grew a inch last year everybody is different. If you grow you might not even do until you get older it depends on your body. I am the tallest out of my siblings. Give it time.  

Answer 3

they stop growing 2 years after they get there period

Answer 4

For the stretch marks make sure you moisterize!!! I've have my period since I was 11 and I'm 14 now, My slowing has growed but it hasn't stopped. You never really know, because everyone's different, but you might grow a couple more inches over a period of time.

Answer 5

You'll probably grow more. I hit a major growth spurt after i started my period that caused me to loose a lot of weight because i stretched out.
