My cousin got her period at the age of 10. she is 5'2 . can she still grow taller? she is 13 right now.

Maybe,maybe not: Most women will grow about 2.5 inches after menses starts. Since the hormones that trigger menses tell the long bone growth centers to finish growth and close, further growth after this happens does not occur.It is likely she is done.
