A member asked:

I am thirteen years old and a girl, will i grow five inches? i excercise every day and it includes jumping towards the ceiling and the treadmill.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubt it: The average 13 yo will grow another 2 inches before stopping.It doesn't matter how you exercise and jumping does nothing. A girl is expected to reach the height equal to the average of both parents less 2.5inches. If you entered puberty late, you might grow a little more, but most stop by 3 yrs after menses if not sooner.
