At what age do girls stop growing taller?
I’m 19 yr. old girl who is 5’6 and a half without shoes on. Is it possible to still grow taller after this age? if yes what is the average height I can grow? also any tips on how to grow to ur full potential? Is it true basketball helps or is it a myth? thanx.

It depends on the age that the person starts her period. Usually you stop growing couple of years after you start your period. I doubt that she will grow any taller. And basketball does not help you grow any taller. It is a myth. However, what it does do is it helps the teenager to have a better bone and muscle structure and mayebe a better posture and muscle support, since it is a sport and sports are generally good for you.
i grew 2 inches in height after age 16.
girls usually stop growing 2 to 21/2 year after your period starts…sorry…
I made it to 5 feet in the 7th grade and it was "game over" for me! I wish they used growth hormones back then. I could use a nice set of legs and some knockers!
You are at your full potential, it is very rare that a girl continues to grow in height after high school.
I grew my last inch at the ripe old age of 21. Stopping at 5ft7in. But in my family that is normal, what is normal in your family? How tall are your parents? When did they reach the height that they are today? By answering those questions you will have the answer to your question. The only way to help make sure you reach your potential is with a proper diet.
Typically you reach your full height by around your late teens, but my mother kept growing in her early 20s. It all just depends.
It depends on the women and when her growth plates fuse. Some women stop growing in their teens, others in their 20′s. For example I am 24 and recently grew by about another inch, from 5’6" to 5"7in.
