I am 13 years old and 1.67m tall; Will I grow more?

The girl says she got her period when she was 11 or 12 and is already taller than her mother

Doctor, I’m 13 years old. I got my period when I was 11, 12 years old. My father is 1.83, my mother is 1.64 and I am currently 1.67. Do you think I could grow more?

The average height of your father and mother is around 1.73 or 1.72. For girls, they typically fall slightly below this average.

So, you’re 1.67m, you’re already taller than your mother. Maybe you’ll grow a little, a few centimeters. He won’t be close to his father’s height, but he’ll probably be close to 5’7.

Actually, your pediatrician has your growth chart in the office. Therefore, it can help you with this information.

The fact that you got your period at age 11 or 12 means that you have a 2 or 3 year period where you grow a little after your first period. So it is possible that it could get close to 1.70, but to be sure, talk to your pediatrician.
