People stop growing at different ages. The person who said 18-19 is an idiot. If you stop growing at an early age don't worry! You'll just be delightfully petite. I stopped growing when I was only 13 and thats no big deal at all! And if your growing and 18-19, again, its ok! Most girls stop growing after they get their period. When your at this age the only thing you need to worry about is being young!

It differs from person to person, and it's also genetic. Ask your mom when she stopped growing. Some stop growing at 14; recent studies show that some can actually continue growing bit by bit until age 25. Besides, I think your height is perfect as is, you're elegantly tall.

It depends really, I stopped growing at 11 which is really young- we did a growth chart in class that year so I can prove it. 15 yrs is probably average, but up to 18 is normal. My friend was anorexic for much of her teenage years and then had a growth spurt when she recovered at 24/25!

My father claims he had a growth spurt between 20 and 21, after "stopping" at 16. I'm not sure whether I believe him or not. I personally stopped at about 17.

It is generally around 16/18, although I was once told, and can't vouch for how true this is, that you will stop growing once you get your period, as your body has then reached "maturity".

Depends how much you eat, some people NEVER stop growing!
To answer your question helpfully, about 21 years old.
