I stopped growing at 12. I’m extremely short (4’11) and I feel like I’m still stuck living in the body of a 12 year old. I got my period at 10 and started puberty around a year earlier than the other girls in my class so I wasn’t short for a year until they caught up. But now I haven’t grown since. I’m still a teenager but I’ve read that girls stop growing 1-2 years after they get their period so am I going to be this ridiculous height forever?

    People who end up being very short usually reach their full height young. Though there are still possible growth spurts in the mid-late teen years, so it's possible you'll get taller.

    I think that’s normal. I got my first period at 11, and I stopped growing around 12/13 but I’m 5’10”. I think that’s a normal time frame for some girls to stop growing. Height is partially genetic, so I wouldn’t doubt that you’re the only one in your family who is on the short side.

    I’m 23 now and I’m still the same height as I was at 13. No worries, you’re normal!
