Growth plates: There are different factors that determine when a person will stop growing. However the most concrete way is to get x-rays to determine whether or not the growth plates have closed or not. If the growth plates are closed then you can be sure that the growth process has stopped

Varies some: Most will grow about 2.5 in or 5 cm after their first period.The growth centers of females close at this point, which varies from 15-17 in most.There are some that finish sooner or later. An x-ray of the hand can be assessed for bone maturity and likelihood of further growth.
