For female children, puberty begins between the ages of 10 – 11 and is usually complete by age 15 – 17. After the onset of puberty, adolescents experience a growth spurt, which lasts up to two years. During this period of growth, female adolescents will grow up to 3 inches a year. Adolescents stop growing as puberty ends, when the growth plates where bones grow fuse. If you feel concerned about your height. It's important to let your parents and doctor know.
