Information on Human Body Growth
By Misty Amber Brighton, eHow
Contributor
A person's height can cause him or
her a lot of anxiety, especially during
adolescence. Although there are
products that claim to increase a
person's height, it is likely your height
is mostly predetermined. Knowing the
facts about human growth can help
eliminate anxiety about your growth
patterns.
Growth spurt in boys
Boys normally reach a growth spurt
later than girls. This does not mean
they are going through puberty later.
Boys' growth spurt comes at the end
of puberty, while girls have a growth
spurt at the beginning of puberty.
Cartilage
Growth in height happens in the
human body at the end of a person's
leg bones. Growth will cease when
cartilage cells at the ends of these
bones stop being produced.
Menstruation
Girls normally stop growing two years
after first starting their menstrual
cycles, according to Teengrowth.com.
She will normally grow around 2
inches during this time.
Ancestors
People today are generally taller than
they were 100 years ago. The furniture
of this time period is also smaller,
reflecting the height of our ancestors.
Heredity
Heredity plays a major role in how tall
a person will be. Other factors include
illness, nutrition and proper sleep.
Men vs. women
Adult males are on average 13
centimeters taller than average
females, according to the BBC.

Poster, I'm afraid you've gone past your rapid growing stage (age 9-13) in females. You could still grow taller but not at the rate you did back then (no more than an inch or so).
