Sorry, girls usually stop growing about two years after they start their period because it is the end of puberty. \n\nYou probably won't grow much more. How tall are your parents? That makes a difference. If you're worried, ask your pediatrician to refer you to a specialist (endocrinologist) who can order a bone age and see if you still have time to grow or if your bones are already fused.\n\nSince you've included your parents' heights, your chances of growing are even smaller. People have a genetic potential which can be estimated using parents' heights. For girls, you subtract 5 inches from the father's height and average it with the mothers. Therefore, you'd average 5' with 4'11" and get 4'11 1/2", so you might have another 1/2 in to an inch to grow, but that's about all you can expect.

Everyone changes - but not at the same time!!! I am also 4' 11 and 12 lol. Just eat a healthy diet and ask your parents what their height was at your age and what it is now. My cup size is 34A, but I find 32 more snuggly lol. Thats like the smallest size, but I really don't care. \n\nAbout the acne, just get a wet towel (towel + water, no soap!) and wipe your face. Before going to school, after school, before bed. Stop eating chocolate and you should stop getting spots on your face. Also, you don't stop growing 2 yrs after your period. It depends. Just ask your DR next time you see him and he should be able to tell you your predicted height too!\n\nThe fatter you get, the bigger your butt.. yes. But that isn't that good cuz you get it on your legs, your stomach your arms and eventually, you will get a second chin then a 3rd and fourth and it looks really gross when you look down. (I have an overweight friend)

What are you talking about? You're 5'9 and you are only 14. There's nothing you can do, you grow naturally, you can't control that. I'm 18 and 6"1 (if there was a way I'd know).  Man you''ve got a lot of growing left ( Men don't stop growing until 21, women 18).  Since you're already so tall, in a couple of years you may be 6"7 and up range.

Well dunkel, I highly doubt that you haven't hit puberty. generally puberty for guys hits around 13 and for some they have earliest signs as young as 10. I wouldn't worry about it if you haven't gone thru puberty since life is much simpler before verses after...\n\nAs far as weight gain and puberty, while many experience growth spurts during puberty, not all have them. You still have about 4 years  for you to gain your height and as far your weight goes, many males don't reach their adult weight until their mid 20's-some as late as 30... So don't worry about it...\n\nIf you are being seen for yearly checkups by your physician he will be monitoring your progress and will let you know if you have a problem that needs additional attention.

Most girls stop growing shortly after puberty. Guys can sometimes keep growing into their late teens or as late as 20 years old.

since i was 16 1/2, i have grown only about another half inch.\n\ni remember the doctor telling me i was over 5'11 then...and now i am an even 6'. (5 years later)\n\ni would say most males are doen with their major growth spurt by then....

Don't worry, you may not be through growing yet.  When I turned 16 I was 5'2" and weighed 95 pounds.  I hit my growth spurt at around age 17. I am now 6'3".  BE PATIENT!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes they can hurt while growing, not everybodys do.\nThey will stop when they stop, nobody can tell you when, but as you probably already know they DO NOT stop growing when you get your period, and they may stop years before you stop growing in height, one of my sisters grew from nothing to a DD in six weeks and they never grew anymore, but she kept on getting taller.

I'm SURE that you're not finished growing (especially since you havent had your period yet) - I even grew a bit when I was 20 yrs old!!  But people do grow at differnt rates.  My friend used to be alot taller than me when we were young and until we were about 15 yrs old, then she seemed to stop (but she smoked cigarettes since she was like 13, which stunts or slows your growth), while I still grew and now ( i'm in my 20s) were about the same height.  I also know that stretches and running alot might help (my sis ran track in high school and grew like 6 inches from age 15-22, it was weird, cause nobody in my family is tall, she was so short then after a while of track kept growing, and I heard of other people who that seemed to happen to also).  So what you want to do is make sure u eat healthy, thats very important, maybe run (either outside or if not, a treadmill, do warmup stretches first before the run)- and don't smoke cigarettes or anything because that only stops growth.  Hope that helps some.

You can go to a growth doctor to find out. I'm not sure about the specific name of the doctor but I know that they look at the space between your bones as a child to determine how tall you will be as an adult. Most women stop growing shortly after they have their first menstruation. Considering that you are 17 years old...I'd have to say that you aren't growing much more, if at all. I'm only 5'4". I know women that are only 4'11". Wear heels if you want to be taller. At least you won't be a really tall woman and have to worry about dating a tall guy so that it doesn't look weird or hunch over to talk to my short to average height friends. Best wishes and take care.

Girls dont stop growing till they are around 18 and for boys its around the age of 21.\n\nIf you are worried then see your doctor or talk to your parents.

well i'll tell you. if your 13 you're still growing which is normal. if your 156 pounds at 5'6" thats normal too. should you be that  big at age 13,  i dont know. but it seems that kids are growing up faster now a days due to all the chemicals in the food supply. as for you appetite, its normal since your growing. just remember to use some self control and eat healthy. dont carry that eating habit onto your teenage years and so on. eat bout 4-6 meals a day but eat small healthy portions. dont EVER eat to make yourself full. just eat to get past hunger. what this does is it keeps your metabolism high so that you dont stack on the pounds. and remember to stay active. dont be in your room all day playing video games or being online.

you can't know for sure.you're 11 years old so you still have a lot to grow. I'm 16 and I was about 5'2" last year, now I'm 6 feet tall so don't worry you can still grow a lot.

You probably will still grow a little bit, but at your height/weight, you are in pretty good shape. Most females don't reach their adult height until they are 18. I was 5'3" as a freshman in high school and I was 5'10" when I graduated.

sweetie, you sound just right. And yep, you;ll probably grow taller too....we girls tend to stop growing at about 21. \nHehe, you are already bigger than me (Im 5'4'' tall) and turning 22 next month, Lol..Im stuck here I guess.\nRelax and dont let anyone pressure you into thinking or feeling like you have to look like a stick insect. Cos I can tell you now, a real man (and 98% of guys) like their girls with their beautiful, womanly curves, not skin and bones. \nEmbrace that georgeous little body!
