Will I grow any more?


Question:
I am 16 and about 5'1''. Will I grow any more?

Answers:
Girls are not done growing until they're 19-20 and guys are not done until they're 21-22 (because they start puberty after girls do).

Most preteens/teens have a growth spurt early on. Then they don't get another one for a few years and they get scared that they are done. Well, you really have to look at your parents--especially your mother and any siblings she has and her parents. (You take after your mother's side of the family most.) Don't pay any attention to anyone who says you are done. Nah----you'll grow some more. When? No way to tell. But you will. Be patient.
Sorry to say, probably not.
I would not rule it out. You stop growing around the end of puberty. so about 20ish would be my guess however it differs from person to person.
if you have had your period, probably not much if any.
you might have one more growth spurt. after you start your period you only have like, one more.
You can keep growing even up until your out of high school. There was a guy in my high school that was very short. A few years later after high school I saw him and he was very tall. I could not believe it. My son was in high school and always worried about being to short one year he just shot up. Now he is around 6 feet tall or a little over. So dont worry you are still growing.
Well, I certainly didn't grow anymore past 16, but I guess it's possible...There's nothing wrong with being short, though. I'm no taller than you are. Be happy with who you are.

p.s., boys keep growing past the time when girls do... so stories about boys who grew at like 19 aren't really applicable to you, probably.
stand up staight and put ur ankles together. if your knees touch you still are going to grow.
