I know that alot of people says that secondary school students are still growing & they will definitely grow. But my height did not increase for 2 yrs ! Is this something to do with puberty? Because I've heard people said before that once you've gone through puberty for about 2-3 yrs, you will stop growing. Is this true?? Pls help me !

Girls grow until they are 18-21. The do NOT stop growing 2-3 years after they get their periods. (just think about all those 8 year olds with periods, if they stopped growing at 10, then they'd still be very short)
Height depends on genetics. If your parents are tall, then you probably will be too. If they are short, then you'll probably be short.

don't worry honey, my daughter has always been tiny and she was the same as you, as all her friends were having there growth spurt and she didn't seem to grow until she hit 13 and14 and shes still growing and now shes taller than some of her friends. you will grow but everyone grows at diff rent times. There is a truth in that you do stop growing 2-3 yrs after puberty but its not the case for everyone ,My niece is15 and has grown in the last month so don't worry
