I don't think there is any specific age to stop growing though most do in their late teens I believe. I am short. I was 4'10 when I was 13. I stopped growing at 5'2 when I was 16. Are you tall? How old are you now? Every girl I knew that was short wanted to be tall. Every girl I knew who was tall wanted to be short. It would be so nice if all of us could embrace the way we are and be thrilled with it. Just think of it this way. If you are tall and model height that is what most of us wish for when you are my size. I hope you are happy with the way you are, you're perfect that way.

Some say in the teens after puberty. However, I have daughters who grew taller during college.

If you are fortunate to be growing tall, please stand up straight and be proud of your height. At 5'2" I sure could use more height to reach things and to see around and over all the tall people.

Tall people can be so graceful in moving about versus those of us built very compact near the ground.
