You might still grow a little more but don't get your hopes up if incase it does not happen. 5 feet isn't bad anyway and this is coming from a guy who's 6'1. Please don't worry about it, 5 feet isn't that short. I'm seeing this girl right now who is 5'2 and before here a girl that was 5'0, neither have been awkward to cuddle with, hold hands with, etc. Basically I'm just saying you really have nothing to worry about, because even guys who are kinda tall like me can still adapt perfectly with girls of your height. I doubt there's a way to specifically make your legs grow any longer, the best you can do is eat right and take your vitamins, then maybe you might grow a little taller. You're only 13 anyway! Trust me, don't worry about this.

Onset of menstruation does not mark the end of growth, closure of your growth plates does. The only way to tell for sure if you will grow more is to have x-rays of your legs which would demonstrate the closure or presense of your growth plates. Although, these event occur near each other in females, they do not necessarily occur at exactly the same time. I grew another 3 inches after I started mine.

There are no special foods to help you grow taller...just eat a health well-balanced diet.

You may grow taller if you get a mini trampoline, and jump on it everyday 100 times. Eat plenty of calcium too. But don't feel bad if it doesn't work after all, there are many advantages of not being tall!

If you sleep a lot you can get a bit taller.
If you are 5 feet tall that is fine.
If you want to be tall because you think you are short then just think if some one is not nice to you or makes fun of you because you are 5 feet tall then they are people you should not hang out with them they are rude.

You might be my twin! I'm almost 4'11" and I also wish to get taller! My mom has suggested growth hormone injections, and if I don't grow in the next few years, that's probably what I'll do.

ok! well my unlce says that if you eat standing up, you grow taller (not true!!!) but with your legs, it's just a part of growing, and when you grow, apprently, all of your body parts will grow and your legs will seem to be longer. now your period has nothing to do with it. food, eat healthy food for you to grow!! dairy products make you grow. so really, just eat healthy and check your self out in the mirror to see your approvment!

You really can't do anything about how you grow. You will grow to the full potential of ur genetics if....you have a good nights sleep everynight. Besides that, genetics will do it's thing. Hopefully this helps you.

Growth hormones? But I think you may be too old for them. Check with a doctor and your parents if it's really bothering you. 5ft for a girl is okay though!

You've got plenty of growing time left, Honey.

How tall you can get is hard-wired into your genes. But if you eat healthy, exercise, practice good posture, and generally take good care of yourself, you will grow to be as tall as you possibly can.

the higher the heel the better.. btw its also know the higher the taller and the higher the thinner your legs look
:-)
So get some high heels with a thin back and you will look hotter even more ;)
