In the general scheme of puberty, for most girls menstrual periods start relatively late in the process. Usually most of the other signs (like the growth spurt, development of breasts, body hair, etc.) occur to some degree before the first period occurs. There is a clinical classification system for this, but that's rather dry and complicated. I'd suggest you're in the early to middle stages; I wouldn't worry too much about the period situation; if you get your first before the age of 16, they consider it normal, no matter when in the process of puberty it happens.

U will definately grow  taller coz at 16 u r still young. Males continue to grow even a little later than girls. They used to tell me that girls stop growing at 18 but at 18 i was really short and worried, then a few years later, i grew tallr now am 24 n 5'6, though that is short, am happy coz i was much shorter than that at 18!! now people who see me later say av grow, so U will definately grow much more!!!!!!!!!!

You ARE tall, for 13.  You will most likely have another growth spurt in a couple of years, but your height is genetic.  Are either/both of your parents, or other adult family members tall?  Their heights will give you some idea of about how tall you will be as an adult.  Believe me, if your doctor thinks there is a reason to be concerned about your growth, s/he will let your parents know.  Do your mother a favor, though, and don't outgrow all your clothes at one time overnight.  My sons did that to me - woke up one morning and NOTHING fit, including underwear.

My cousin did not get her period until she was 15. It can be a good thing too. Your growth is stunted by menarche. You say that you are a tom-boy? I am guessing that you may play sports with the boys? Being very active rather than towards the always-in-the-house, near-overwt girl, ...will prevent early menarche. I got my period when I was 10.5, but I over-ate for my size...and I was soooo inactive. You are most likely  normal. Don't fret just because most of your friends/peers have their periods already.

Yes. Girls can keep growing well into their late teens. Just because you've had your period doesn't mean that puberty is over. To guess how tall you would get I'd have to know how tall your parents are. You will most closely take after one of them. Me for instance, I took after my mother. She is 5ft 4 and my dad is 6ft. I am about 5ft tall, and am 24 so definately no more growing for me!

I didnt get my first period til I was 17. My second period came 6 months later! It continued to be really irregular for a year. If you are under 18, don't stress about it.

no, you will definitely grow taller soon. you haven't gone through puberty yet. My son was about your height in 8 grade, he is now going to be in 11 grade and he is almost 6 ft! so you will get taller, just tell them to shut their traps when they make fun of you!

If you are a girl, you may still grow, but it's probably more likely you are done.\nIf you are a boy, it's very likely you are still growing.

Yes you will most likely have another growth spurt. Since the average man is 5'10 and about 175 i would say your on pace to be well above average. Many men who are above average tend to also tend to grow longer as well. It is not uncommon for men to continue growing into their early 20's. My coworkers son is having the opposite problem....he can't stop growing. He is now 11 and is 6'7 with size 17 shoes! There trying everythin to stop him from growing cause they say he hasn't even hit his natural growth spurt yet. They say he's looking at close to 8 feet if they can't get this under control. Your doing fine, eat well and exercise and you'll be very healthy.

I don't think so - mine grew a size quickly with a growth spurt too - seriously not implants!

Maybe for another 2 years. After that, you reach the mature level where you can't grow anymore. Women tend to grow bigger than men at age 12 to 14. Then men starts to grow. I don't think you are too tall for your age. I think it's normal.

First we are geneticically predisposed to be a certain height and only when we deprive our bodies of needed nutrition do we change that by maybe stunting our growth. So, you may take back after any relative, mostly it will go back to the grandparents. So, no amount of food will make you grow taller. You do need to eat healthy and get the nutrition you need to grow to your maximum height. So, be patient. Yes, people can have a spurt at age 16. Girls are growing until 18-2,  sometimes. Boys usually grow fastest at an earlier age than girls do. But, 11 in. is a lot. So, hang in there and be happy with what and who you are. You are beautiful just the way you are. God designed you to be who you are, an individual, with no one else who is like you. Isn't that amazing? Love coming your way. Prayers that you will grow and will love yourself no matter what.

Well if you got your period,then you aren't pregnant dear. The menstrual cycle is never really predictable,they just happen to say 28 days because its the average amount of time to wait. Don't spazz.

You're still below average height for an American woman and at your age, almost any height is normal (I was 5'7" when I started ninth grade.)  You can't know for sure when you will stop growing, but a year or so after your periods start is a good gauge.\n\nDon't try to stunt your growth using junk food.  Not only will it not work, you'll just get fat and unhealthy.
