Do girls grow out of adhd? if not, does it get worse with puberty?

Some girls do. There's many different factors that can influence it. Use of medications and/or behavior therapy can ease the symptoms as they grow.

it depends.  i kept slowly growing until i was 18.  some girls are done growing at 12.  if her height has stayed consistent for the last few months and she has hit puberty, she is probably done.  if she was still growing the last few times she was measured (even if she has hit puberty) then there is still hope for her.  also though it is based on genetics, and more than just parents--you have to look at grandparents and aunts/uncles, etc.

Awkward.  I started high school at 13; I started a new school without all my old friends so I had to make new ones; I didn't have anyone I could talk to about all the things that would be happening hitting puberty (I was never close to my mother so I could never talk to her about the girlie stuff). I couldn't talk to any of the other women in my family either about anything so it was so hard hitting the teenage years!

Sounds like you have not finished going through puberty yet, and it will take time to develop.  Some women do not finish until age 19 or later.  I would not worry about gaining weight if it does not come naturally.

I guess........If you're going through puberty, your hormones are out of wack anyway.......LOL

No. You should look for a doctor as soon as posible. They can check out what's causing it (probably hormones) and stop the process.\nIt's important you act fast, because there are some social / psicological effects with premature puberty.

Girls stop growing at 18 and boys stop growing at 21..

I know a paernt whose child is receiving the hormone.\n\nFirst of all she has not had problems with the hormone.\n\nBut I also saw a show about it, and it is very important that you get this done. Your child's life can be adversely affected if she is unusually small, as she may have trouble making friends and having a healthy social life. For girls it might not be so bad, but for boys it is an absolute MUST.

You should consult a pediatric endocrinologist. \n(1) Treating the underlying cause or disease, such as a tumor in the pituitory gland.\n(2) Lowering the high levels of sex hormones with medication to stop sexual development from progressing. \n Hormones involved in the control of puberty include: \n    • GnRH: Gonadotropin releasing hormone, which comes from the brain in boys and in girls. Other androgens from the adrenal glands (located near the kidneys) produce pubic and axillary hair at the time of puberty. \n  • Estrogen: A female sex hormone, which is responsible for breast development in girls. It is made mainly by the ovaries, but is also present in boys in smaller amounts. \n• Sex Hormones: Responsible for t he development of pubertal signs as well as changes in behavior and the ability to have children. \nIn some cases, treatment of an underlying health problem can stop the precocious puberty from progressing. But in most cases, because there's no other disease triggering the condition, treatment usually consists of hormone therapy that stops sexual development. Other symptoms include:-\n(a) poor grades \n(b) problems at school \n(c) loss of interest in daily activities \n(d) depression.\nIt is not known whether any drug you have taken last year might have triggered such a condition or due to genetic reasons.

Personally, I think you should be slightly concerned about this. Yes, while it's true that puberty occurs earlier now than in years gone by, 8 is still very young. Pubic hair is usually te second stage of puberty - initially there is a growth spurt, followed by pubic hair, axillary hair, breast buds, and finally menstruation. Most young girls won't start developing pubic hair until around the age of 11. I would recommend that your take your daughter to her paediatrician/GP for a checkup, and possibly a referral to a specialist.

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.

Not bad. You're still going through puberty, so chances are it's going to keep growing.

if the child is truely just adhd they can outgrow it.  but if your child is like mine...adhd/bipolar or is he has the obsessive defiance disorder or any of the other disorders out there, chances are they'll be taking meds for the rest of their lives.

most females quit growing by the time they are 20. although i think my daughter quit 2 years ago. you could donate some of your height to her- she's 4ft 11 and is 18 yrs old. most people think she's 12 or 13.

Yes, you are always growing until you are about 20 years old then you have basically reached your full potential!  When you have your period your body is going through several changes internally therefore you are still able to grow externally!

You are about the age when girls stop growing, unless a miracle happens you will most likely remain the height you are now. Sorry.

Trustt me, its normal. If you haven't reached puberty yet, then you still have more growing to do, so it should be ok.
