A member asked:

I am a 16 year old girl who is 155 cm tall. i am really worried about my height. will i be able to grow tall?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: The growth centers for girls will usually start closing by 16 and when closed, no further increase in length is possible. This equates to about 2.5 inches after your first period. If your growth centers remain open (x-ray of wrist/hand), you might grow taller.
