Will I stop growing because I have my period?

Not necessarily. You probably had a healthy growth spurt right before your first period. Afterwards, you’ll keep growing, but not quite as fast —just a few centimeters each year until age 16 or 17. Once again, your final height will depend on a number of factors such as heredity, diet, and others. The average height for adult females is 5 foot 4 inches.
