I noticed lately that my feet have gotten longer and that I have had some cramping in my legs. A friend suggested that these were signs of growth. I got my first period when I was about 13, so I know I started puberty on time. I'm pleased that I'm growing, but I wasn't sure if it was normal for a female my age to still be growing. My mother stopped growing when she was about 15, and my father when he was 18, therefore, it's probably not hereditary.

You are getting taller and nothing to worry about. l've heard that females stop growing when they reach 23. l'm not sure if its true. You are probably in good health that's why you're adding inches.

I joined the army at 19 and grew a couple more inches. Yep...it can be perfectly normal.

You may want to get your paturitary glands checked. it is known that the worlds tallest people had those type problems and most had tumors in the back of their head

It's perfectly normal to keep growing on into your mid-twenties. It's when you start shrinking that you should be worried.
