Can a girl still get taller at 16?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Most women finish growing taller at 16-17 or within 2 years of first menses. The hormones that control puberty trigger a growth spurt followed by a message to growth centers to finish.Once the growth centers close you are done.A single x-ray of your wrist/hand could be examined for growth centers.If open you could grow taller,if closed you are done.A balanced diet/proper rest and exercise help.
