Answers:
Girls usually stop growing at 15 and often there is no further growth 2 or 3 years after your first period.

Some growth spurts are as small as 2 inches so you have probably had your growth spurt and you will probably peak at 5'6 in the next 12 months. Better growth is possible but uncertain.Health Question & Answer

I am a mom. 5'6," my hubby is also 5'6", our daughter is 5'3". She is now almost 16y. a junior in high school. she has been 5'3" since she was 12. Most girls are done growing by the end of 6th,. grade. Boys on the other hand can keep growing til their 18-20, depend on the genes. Period usually makes no difference. Our daug. started at 11 though. me at 10.
It is not true that girls are usually taller than their mothers, it all has to do with genes, as to how tall a person will be.Health Question & Answer

I say your still gonna grow a little bit more. But usually girls grow a little bit taller than their mom, so maybe a little bit more. But then again, girls keep growing till 18 or 19 so you will definitely grow more. I don't know if you'll get further than 6'0'' though. But you're still young so don't worryHealth Question & Answer
