How old was your dd when she reached her adult height?

DD1: 16. DD2 is now 19 and has grown another half inch since her 18th so may not be done yet.

18 y/o DD hasn’t grown any taller since probably late 15 but she was fairly tall by 12/13.
I was similar, 5’8” by 13 then only grew another “ by 15, that was me at full height.

AppleandSpice · 11/11/2022 19:38

I think dd was about 14, I myself stopped at 11.

monsteronahill · 11/11/2022 19:39

I was 14, my other sisters a similar age. Two over 6" one just under.

Gwenhwyfar · 11/11/2022 19:42

I don't have a DD, but my DM was about 11 and myself I'm not totally sure, but it would be quite young, 12, 13 or 14.
I think girls finish growing quite soon after puberty.

youlightupmyday · 11/11/2022 19:43

I think it is 2 years after their periods start on average

I was about to say this.

My DD stopped growing at 14. She's just turned 16 and still hoping she's not done though!

waterlego · 11/11/2022 19:44

Yes, I have read that @youlightupmyday.

My DD started her periods at 11 and stopped growing at around 13 when she was 5ft 1.

pointythings · 11/11/2022 19:47

I think you do have to remember that the periods thing is an average though - DD1 started at 13, so it was 3 years for her. DD2 was exactly 16 so also looking at 3 years, and I was 15 and grew my last half inch at 19. We are all 5'10'' or thereabouts so maybe if you're meant to be tall it takes a bit longer?

HeBeaverandSheBeaver · 11/11/2022 19:47

About 15. Mostly 13 but had an extra inch at 15. Now adult height nearly 17.

Ladybug10 · 11/11/2022 19:48

Dd1 hasn’t grown since she was 12. She’s now 19. Is 5 foot 2.
Dd2 is still growing at 14. Currently 5 foot 8.
Im 5 foot 5 and DH is 6 foot.

Chomolungma · 11/11/2022 19:48

DD is 15 and I think she's pretty much stopped now.

PeekAtYou · 11/11/2022 19:48

About age 14 for dd and me

missbunnyrabbit · 11/11/2022 19:48

I stopped growing at about 14.

MissEnolaHolmes · 11/11/2022 19:49

She is 15 and still growing, only recently started periods though

TwitTw00 · 11/11/2022 19:50

Didn't start my periods until I was pretty much 15 but had pretty much reached my adult height by then.

jamimmi · 11/11/2022 19:50

Dd stopped at 13 , periods at 10. She's 5ft 1 . I was much the same.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 11/11/2022 19:51

I've hardly grown since I was 11/12 and I'm 5'3 now.

Newlydecorated · 11/11/2022 19:54

I was 11 and assumed my daughter would be similar, but she kept growing until she was 19.

CecilyP · 11/11/2022 19:54

Don’t have a DD but reached my own full height at 15. There was a girl in my class at school who was refused a place at ballet school because age 11 and 5 ft 1 she’d be to tall to be a ballerina; she only grew another inch!

Veryxonfused · 11/11/2022 19:54

14 or 15 for me

BeanCounterBabe · 11/11/2022 19:55

DD1 just turned 15 hasn’t grown in a year. She’s 5ft 6. She was really tall until year 8 Then pretty much stopped. DD2 just turned 12 is about 1/2 an inch shorter and hasn’t started period yet so I think she will overtake big sister very soon.

Kabbalah · 11/11/2022 19:59

18, at 6 foot. 16 yr old is still growing.

SpiritedSneeze · 11/11/2022 20:00

I was 11, DD was 12, shoe size stopped at the sane time.
