Did you ever measure her height when she was 2 years old?   At 2 years old children are at half of what their adult height will be.  Sounds crazy, I know, but it's true.  My mom measured my brother and me, and our heights now are almost exactly double what we were at 2 years old.\n\nIf you didn't measure her, then it's kind of hard to predict.  If she's grown a lot lately in a short period of time, then she's probably at her growth spurt.  It usually occurs at about that time in girls.  \n\nBut I can't really tell you much beyond that.  I think I stopped getting taller when I was about 14 or so.

Honey,\nI am 5'10 and have been since I was your age. you are not tall for your age and, as a girl, you probably won't grow to be that much taller. Boys have a growth spurt in their mid teens but girls usually top out at 13-15.\n\nIt was not my intention to insult you.  I do apologize if I did.  I was simply relating to you my own personal experience.  Isn't that what this forum is for?  I do resent your reactions and choice of words however am able to forgive them as you are 12 years old.  Best of luck to you as grow older.

Actually, it's possible to quit growing in puberty. The most accurate way to tell is if you have an x-ray done at a doctor's. They can tell if your growth plates are closed. I was told at the age of 14 that I would not grow anymore because my growth plates were almost completely closed.

Why are you in a hurry? You still growing. Each person grows differently. Before you know it, you'll be a couple inches taller.

To grow taller, if there is no underlying medical condition, you essentially just need good nutrition.  There is nothing that will make you taller then what you where genetically determined to be, though poor nutrition can make you shorter than genetically expected\n\nWomen stop around 14 years of age, boys at 16 - but there are people who have delayed closure of their growth plates and a bone age xray can determine this and see if extra growth potential is there.

Yes, you are tall for your age.  There is a possibility that you could reach 6 ft. tall, but there's also the chance that you grew much faster than others at an early age and will quit growing soon.  That's what happened to my cousin.  She was 5'7 at 13, but she only grew an inch and a half more in the year after that and then stopped.

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.

It does vary from person to person. Some people don't stop growing till quite late, but generally 19/20 is the age when growth stops.

There are parts of your body that stop growing.  Your brain for example stops growing after about 10 to 12 years old.  Your eyes stop growing after about a month old.  Some other internal organs also stop growing.  \n\nBones (legs, arms, feet, etc) stop growing after about 18 to 20 years old for males, 16 for females.\n\nShort answer, if you have no serious diseases, your eyes cannot become smaller, but rather you are becoming larger.\n\nBTW interesting fact, your nose will never stop growing.  If it's big now, wait until you're 60.

From an FDA report...evidently we are getting taller AND fatter....but hey I gotta Bowflex: here you go.  Back up is below.\n\nThe report, Mean Body Weight, Height, and Body Mass Index (BMI) 1960-2002: United States, shows that the average height of men ages 20-74 increased from just over 5 feet 8 inches in 1960 to 5 feet 9 1/2 inches in 2002, while the average height of women the same ages increased from slightly over 5 feet 3 inches in 1960 to 5 feet 4 inches in 2002.

u will probably stay that heighth. maybe grow a1/2 inch more. but iam 14 too and i have stopped growing. i am 5'10 and i have tall parents too. i know tht i have stopped growing bc i went to the doctor to get an x ray on my foot and he said he cud tell i was done growing bc the growth plates in my ancles have decreased in size. so i might, prob not, grow like a1/2 inch...\nhope i helped!\n\nxo

You might not grow anymore. You might grow another 6 inches. Really, I can't tell you. Typically people stop growing in their late teenage years.

There is no exact science as to when humans stop growing. The age ranges you mentioned are the general concensus. Sorry that there is nothing more definite.\nhttp://www.thedoctorslounge.net/orthopedics/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2958\n\nUltimately, we stop growing because we are genetically programmed to do so. It is our genes, made of DNA, that determine how we grow and develop. We inherit our genes from our parents when we are conceived, and we maintain this genetic blueprint throughout life. But although our genes control the growing process, scientists still do not understand just how they do it.\n \nOUR GENES start working at the moment of conception when a single cell becomes a complex organism in which billions of cells work in concert. Once we are born, we continue to grow and develop until the completion of puberty. At this point our genetic program tells us to stop growing. \n\nFrom an evolutionary viewpoint, once our genes have orchestrated the growth and development of the body to the point that it can reproduce, the purpose for growth is complete. \n\n\nWhen we think of a growing child, we often picture one who is becoming taller, whose arms, legs and spine are growing longer and whose hands and feet are growing bigger. This is referred to as linear growth. Knowing that our genetic makeup is ultimately responsible for stature, it is interesting to look at the mechanisms that stimulate and inhibit this type of growth. \n\nThe complex interplay of genes, nutrients and hormones cause bone cells to proliferate at the growth plate of long bones. This interplay is also responsible for the cessation of linear growth and the correlating inability of these cells to further multiply and lengthen bone. The key hormones in this process are: growth hormone, thyroxin, androgens and estrogen. They are secreted by the pituitary, thyroid and reproductive glands respectively.\n\nAt the completion of puberty, the reproductive glands in both males and females increase the production of the hormone estrogen. It is the high concentration of estrogen in the blood that causes the growth plates of our bones to fuse. This fusion effectively closes the growth centers of long bones and renders them unable to respond to the hormones that initiate growth. \n\nDisorders of the endocrine system can lead to abnormal growth in children and adults. Gigantism, a condition in which a person’s arms and legs grow especially long and height can exceed 8 feet, is caused by the overproduction of growth hormone when the growth plates of long bones are open during childhood or adolescence. Acromegaly is a chronic disease marked by the overgrowth of the hands, feet and jaw. This occurs in adulthood, after the growth centers of the long bones have closed. Both of these disorders are usually caused by pituitary tumors. In gigantism, the tumor develops in childhood and in acromegaly, the tumor develops afterwards.\n\nThe mechanisms by which organs grow in size are less well understood. \n\n“In fact,” says Dr. Scott A. Rivkees, an associate professor of pediatric endocrinology at Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn., “we are just starting to understand the growth-promoting and growth-inhibiting factors of organs. We do know that certain organs have cells that can continue to divide once the organ has reached mature size.” Examples of organs with this capacity are the kidney, liver and intestinal lining. But the lungs and brain do not have this capacity, he says, for reasons that are not completely understood. \nhttp://msnbc.msn.com/id/3076703

You might not ever be taller, but then again, who knows?\n\nYour ability to grow taller usually ends when you're between 21 and 25 years of age.  Most of this isn't something you can have much control over.\n\nI would learn to accept and love your body as God gave it to you.  My husband is 5ft 6 inches, and I love every bit of him.

Different people and different parts of people stop growing at different times, but usually by age 16 or so, you have grown as much as you are likely to, unless parts of you, like breasts or height, commonly stop later in your family.\n\nIn a sense, we never stop growing, because almost all of our cells die off and are replaced by new ones.
