tallest ever tennis player
height question?
wow i honestly thought i’d never ask this but its not gona be like all these dumb questions that are like “AM I EVER GONA BE 9 FT TALL???!” its actually a sensible question…
ok well i went to the doctor for my physical because you need one for high school and my mom wanted to know if i was going to get taller (i’ve already gotten my period and ive had it for like 2 yrs, maybe a few months less). the nurse said that girls stop growing by the time they get their period. i’m only 5′ 2″ by the way and im 14 years old.
well this dosent make sense because u always hear about how athletes get taller. maria sharapova (pro tennis player) is 18 and she grew 2-3 inches in one year!
well i was wondering if what the nurse said was true and if there is a possibility that i’m going to be a little bit taller or if i’m just gona be 5′ 2″. not that i have a problem with that, i like my height =]
Hey-
A friend of mine grew 3 inches in college! And she got her period long before she went to college. As far as if your nurse was correct…not really.
Check out what I found on the website listed below:
Height: You may grow 2 to 8 inches or even taller during puberty. Girls usually stop growing taller about 2 years after starting to menstruate (have periods).
Since you’ve had your period for two years you probably won’t grow too much…but you could grow some!
~Hope this helps=)
