Will I still grow at fifteen?!
Question: Will I still grow at fifteen.?
I'm 5' nothing my mom is 5'3 and my dad is 5'6-ish. I turned fifteen about a month ago.
My mom got her period around 18 and I got mine at 12 and 1/2 exactly and never had a growth spurt, I always grew really slowly. She grew until 21 and my dad said he also stopped growing around then. I don't know if I'm going to grow anymore.
Though I'm fine with my height, I'd like to know if I'm going to grow anymore. What do you think.?
+ random fact - I'm usually behind my friends for a lot of things. Like, I just lost all my baby teeth just last year, but I don't know if that matters. And everyone says I look like I'm twelve.Health Question & Answer

Answers:
Girls do not stop growing when they menstruate. Puberty is the time when your body begins to change from a girl's body to a woman's body. It can take several years, and usually happens between the ages of nine and 17.
During this time, most girls get their period for the first time. And most girls' bodies will continue to grow after they get their periods. Many girls will experience growth in their breasts and hips and will most likely grow taller. Hair begins to grow under the arms and around the genitals. Some people may sweat more and some may develop acne. Puberty is an ongoing time of change and is different for everyone.
The most part of the bone growth happens during the adolescence. Men usually reach their maximum height by 20 and women usually reach their maximum hieght by 17.
On a side note, your ears and nose (which are made of cartilage rather than bone) NEVER stop growing which is why old people, especially men, always have big noses!
Bet you're looking forward to that!

You'll grow until 18, but it's going to slow now. You won't get much more height, maybe more muscle and bone. I know for a fact the brain grows until 20, hence drinking being allowed at 21.Health Question & Answer
