Well everyone grows at their own rate. I'm 12 and turning 13 in a couple of weeks and I'm 5'6.

I agree with looking at mom and dad. I got my period when I was 12 and I was about 5'4" at that age... now I've grown to be 5'7" at 18. There's a pretty good possibility you will grow a couple more inches. Ask your doctor when you go in for a check up. But if you don't, there's nothing wrong with being that height! The average height for a grown woman is 5'6". If you stay around that height, atleast you won't look funny wearing cute heels. At 5'7", I feel like I tower over people when I wanna wear cute boots and stuff. Good luck and happy new year!

How tall are your parents?
You will most likely be as tall as they are.
Teenagers grow until they are 18 to 21, depending on the individual. Stop thinking about it, stress can cause medical problems and could stunt your growth. No Joke!!
When you periods started doesn't seem to be a strong rule of growth. I was 5'5" when I started mine at 13 and grew three more inches.
My son grew 3 inches after graduation from High School at 17.
Good luck and Happy New Year.

When I was 14, I was probably 5'2". I think I've stopped growing (I'm 20 now) and I'm 5'5". I got my period at 13. You will probably grow a couple more inches, however it depends on how fast you grew before.
I was always very short when I was in elementary school relative to other kids> however the girls stopped growing before me, so now I'm the same height as them as an adult.
Look at your parents' height--it's a pretty accurate judgment.

The growth spurt for the typical female will end by the time she is 17. You're getting close to your eventual height, but don't be surprised if you add an inch or two before your sweet sixteen. If you're into prediction, just look at your parents and grandparents; their heights should be a good barometer as to how much more room you have to grow.

No way to know for sure, but you will probably grow some more. Eating as healthy as possible will assure you reach your potential I believe. Mom & Dad might be a bit of an indicator too.

You are still growing and will get taller. Most of your growing is finished but you will grow slowly until you are about 20. I would expect you to pick up another inch in height.

Well I am almost 13 (turning 13 in 10 days :D) and I am 5'5" but it depends on your relatives. If they are tall chancews are you'll grow some more.

Probably. Doubt your period has anything to do with your height though. The truth is, you probably won't get much taller. 5'3" is a good height. My wife is 4'10"
