Will I continue growing............?!? (doctors please?)?

Question

I'm a 13 yeard old girl, 14 in less than a month, and I'm just barely 5 ft 2 inches. (I'm reallt 5 ft 1 inches and 3/4) I went for my physical yesterday and my doctor said you usually stop growing 2 or 3 years after you get your period. I got it when I was 11, a few months away from 12. My mom is about 5 ft 4 and my dad is about 5 ft 8. my brother, who is 18, is 5 ft 8 and my other brother who is 20 is nearly 6 ft. (5 ft 11 or something?) So, do i have any chance of being around 5 ft 6? im like terrified that i'll stop growing by next year and only be like 5 ft 3 or something!!!! If you are a doctor, or know a lot about health, please tell me how tall I might be as an adult?? (i think i only grew like less than an inch this year, and i usually grow an inch or more......)

help!!!

Answer 1

Well, it really depends on if you've had your growth spurt yet.

By the time I was 13, I was pretty much my full height.

Don't sweat it. A really good friend of mine is only 5'1" - she manages just fine.

We come in all shapes in sizes - it's what makes us unique.

Answer 3

Hi hun. No this isn't correct. The age around where you stop growing, is 21. Your body develops most quickly between 11 - 18. But 21 is around the age where your body will have developed. From your family, it is hard to say what your height will be, i would average around 5ft 7, which is a normal size for a woman. So dont worry hun, you have many, many more years to grow. Take care xxxx

Answer 4

I'm 5'3" and being short does have advantages...as far as being overweight that you can work on I was overweight at that age as well and I stopped growing at the age of 12. no one really knows what your body is going to do so it could be possible you might grow a bit more but maybe not 5'6". And with your parents being shorter it can be likely you will remain shorter also. And boys do grow well into their 20's which doesn't seem fair.  

Answer 5
