A member asked:
My cousin is 14 years old and she's around about 154-156cm tall . her period started when she was 12. is it possible for her to still grow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Definitely. The determinants for height are all in the bones. If she maintains good nutrition and exercise and doesn't have other health problems she may likely continue to have advances in height. Menarche at 12 is also normal. An x-ray would show how much growth is left in her bones.
