Answer #1

I already had my growth spurt…I think. My body is mature for it’s age. I started my period when I was either 10 or 11. How much do you grow in a growth spurt?

Answer #2

your 13 you do realise that youve only just BEGUN to go through puberty right? and that means that your only just beginning to develop and grow you should have a growth spurt soon just be patient and wait a few years

Answer #3

agreed with the above. Just because you started pmsing doesn’t mean you’ll stop growing. I started pmsing when I was 10, I was like 5ft 2/3 inches, or something like that I grew to be about 6ft supposedly you grow till you’re around 20

Answer #4

just because you started doesnt mean your going to stop growing. I got my period about 3 years ago and I’ve kept growing so dont worry. Oh and unless your moms a doctor I wouldnt listen too hard to what she says. No offense to her. But if both of your parents are relatively short you have a greater possibility of being short.

Answer #5

how old are you? if your under 18 trust me you aren’t done growning. actually most people stop growing around 16 or 17

Answer #6

My mom said I’d be lucky if I reached 5 feet

Answer #7

I’m 13
