....when females reach the age of 17/18, whatever their height is then becomes their adult height, they won't grow any taller. Is this true?

Hi, i always thought it was 16 as i didnt grow from the age of 13 years, but the only way i grew was out wards. It was weird because i was always thin and had no curves or nowt, I did have a chest though but i though i was going to stay thia way, It wasnt until i got to 16/17/18, when i got hips and a fuller figure, and its not like i didnt go through puberty early as i did, it is just the was womens body works.
