A member asked:
When do females stop growing taller? what is the latest age you have seen a female gain height before ending her growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: most girls reach their full height about 2 years after their menses (periods) start. So cannot give you an answer based on age because some girls start their periods as early as 8-9 y/o and some as late as 15-16 y/o. Hope this answers your question. Dr. R
