okay...i always hear that you stop growing after your period. i heard 6 months ( from a docter) and 2 yr ( from a science teacher) but also most places ( including my mother) say you stop growing around 16 (for girls) which is right?????? because they cant all be. ( please only answer if you actually know)

Women do stop growing at a younger age than men. Generally between the years of 16 to 21. Don't worry about your height, guys usually like petite girls, they can feel big strong and manly around them and they tend to be protective.
My mom is petite. All of us kids are about a foot taller than she. Everybody is protective. Don't get me wrong, this little lady is tough!
Use your height (or your lack thereof) to your advantage. With women, it's OK to be short.
Hope this helps.

Every person grows at their own rate. Women usually are done growing by age 16, but some grow when they are older than that, and some stop growing way before that. You won't know when you'll stop growing until you stop!
