I'm REALLY concerned that I cant grow anymore because I just got periods forthe first time 5 months ago....Im only 147 cm tall....and shortest in the class probably. Can you actually grow after having periods?

Yes you can. I started my period when I was 11, and around then I was probably something like, 5'2" and now (at 21) I am 5'5"
You will grow, I don't believe that your period has something to do with it, it all depends on genetics. Don't worry! =]

Yes, you can still grow after having periods.
I think that comes from old wives' tales, and the fact that back then, girls get their periods quite late in their teenage years.
Nowadays, due to better nutrition, you can start getting your period quite early, and still be able to grow.
Happy growing!

of course, having your period has nothing to do with stopping growing. that would mean that most girls stop growing at 13-14, which isnt true. You will keep growing until you are about 17.
