Sort of a random question, but have any other (girls) become taller after the age of 18?
And can you gain any height through stretching?

    17/18/19 is when you stop getting taller.

    Embrace your height. I know some short people who carry themselves with pride that a tall person would drown in.

    I was done growing at 12 or 13, but some people- especially boys - keep growing all through their teens.

    No, you won't make yourself taller by stretching. Bones determine your height and you can't stretch those.

    It happens occasionally, but typically you will stop growing about 1-2 years after your period has become regular. For me this was at about 13 1/2

    I really wish I could have continued growing! I had my last big growth spurt when I was 12, going from 4'9 to 4'11 which 20 years later I remain.
