It differs from person to person I would say between 18 to 21 years your height stops growing. Because I have seen girls and boys both growing taller uptil the age of 21.
Take Care and God Bless you !

ok i'm specific of this I basically study something. ladies often quit starting to be between 13-sixteen yet can improve until eventually 19. Boys often quit starting to be between 18-21 yet can improve until eventually 25.

It really depends on genetics and your body. I quit growing when i was 17 which is rare. My sister on the other hand quit growing when she was 16. It depends.

Your frame is completly built by age 13 and then 13 to 15 is when you fill in like your hips and other things start taking shape. All girls tho are different to a point but you can count on not growing any taller after 13 . After that the only growing you will be doing is round wise and not up.

There's a great book called "What's Happening to My Body? A Book for Girls" by Linda Madaras. It says that girls usually have a growth spurt at the beginning of puberty which usually lasts less than a year. By the time of her first period, the growth will slow a little to 1-2 inches per year.
Girls usually reach their full adult height within 1-3 years after their first period.
From the time of age 2, humans usually grow about 2 inches per year (that is on average - not necessarily steadily - it is often in spurts).

A doctor told me.. six years after starting puberty.. I started at 13, so that would be 19 for me.
