How late can girls grow taller?
My little sister is 17 and 5-8, and she seems to look taller every time I see her. I think she is still growing, and her feet seem to still be growing. She said that her goal was to be as tall as me, 5-9/10. Will she be able to grow another inch or two?

i grew until i was 20 (my period was at age 15)…my sister is 21( hers was at 16) and stopped so far in the summer i think at least she stopped, id have to update u on that one next summer…but her feet stopped growing at age 18/19 and mine stopped when i was just 15…so it depends…i only grew a half an inch from age 16 to 20…but my sister grew about an inch and a half to two inches it seems like since she graduated from highschool…there is no real date u can put on it really…other than where docs guesstimating that a young woman stops growing completely all together in her mid 20′s that’s about all they can say…they can tell u the average ages most girls stop growing…but that’s bout it…its really a lot to do with genetics of the family on how tall and when things tend to happen in terms of growing…
usually until 18, sometimes 19-20 depends

she will stop growinq at 18
yep. sure can. i grew after i was 20 and my cousin grew when she was 22.
Ya. Some people don’t stop growing until their early 20′s
that’s really weird. but she must be a little undeveloped sexually. she probably only grew that tall because she still hasn’t gotten her period (sometimes it takes until they’re 19 to get it).
i doubt she’ll grow any taller.
im 16 and I’m still growing… and so are my feet
it depends if this girl has her period already
Girls normally grow for another three years after they get their first period.
there is a possibility that she could grow to be 5-9 or 5-10 if she keeps growing
She will probably stop growing between her current age and 21. She might be able to grown nother inch or two!
Women typically stop growing by age 18, and men stop growing by about 25.
the latest i know of to stop growing is 19
Girls usually stop growing after they hit puberty.
Some people may have short spurts later in life, typically all growth is over by 25. She may grow taller, but its highly improbable.
She may have you beat. You didn’t say how old you are but the final height growth doesn’t end until early 20′s.
Well… I’m 16, and almost 5’7”. I literally stopped growing height-wise when I was probably 14. I’m convinced I’m done growing. So, she may or may not, I guess
From a Doctor/ Most girls stop growing around the age 18 But some women have been known to grow as late as 25, it is very rare though.
the rule of thumb is 2 years after they have their first period.
