NO!! Girls can grow (height-wise) until they are 18-21.
Like Doom said, what about all the 9 year olds who have periods? If they stopped growing at 11, they would still be pretty short.

that sounds like an old wives tale.
Girls can get periods as young as 9. I don't think theirs any link between the two. I got mine when I was 13 and Im still growing 3 years later.

Your period is just part of the beginning of you growing and developing into a woman. You'll get taller, prettier, bigger breasts, and curvy hips.
