Taller than yourself: She still has room to grow taller, she will keep getting taller for some time after starting her periods, probably 2-3 inches more (5-7.5 cms) the rough equation is the average of both parents heights -2.5 for girls. They grow at a slower pace after starting their menses for about 3-4 years, average age for closure of long bones in girls is around 16-17, x-ray of her wrist would tell us bone age )
