Can my boobs still grow at 16?
I started my period when I was 11 and now I'm 16, but my boobs are still an A-cup. I'm about 5'6" and 135 pounds. I've heard that some people don't stop growing until they're like 18-20, but since I started my period kinda young I'm not sure if the same will happen to me. So is there still a possibility I'll grow more, or am I pretty much done? I actually don't mind having smaller boobs, I was just curious is all :) Thanks.
Can your boobs still grow at 16?
Yes, of course! Most breast development occurs within your teens due to puberty, and then into your twenties as your body gains more weight going into adulthood. Even as an adult your breasts continue to grow and change shape as a result of hormonal factors and weight changes - thus why women are supposed to get themselves measured for bras every six months. It's possible that your breasts will not grow any more, or they may grow a lot more, there's no way of telling but either way if you have breast development (which you do with an A cup) you're perfectly healthy.
How much taller can I grow after the age of 16?

I'm 16 can I still grow boobs?
Everyone develops differently. There is a chance, but I wouldn't worry about it. I was a 34B when I was your age, and by age 18 I was a 32D/34C. Granted, I was started birth control. Cleavage doesn't make a woman "feminine" at all. There are several other characteristics that make up a woman. What's most important is to love yourself and what you have. I am small-chested compared to my friends, but I have a great body and I've been working towards a six-pack - and my friends are envious of that. The grass will always be greener on the other side. There are tips and tricks to make them appear bigger, but nothing will really make them grow. You could wear push-up bras to give the appearance of fuller, larger breasts. Generally speaking, the answers of "gaining weight" necessarily don't work. It cannot be guaranteed that the weight will go to your breasts. As for building muscles, they don't make your breasts larger. By building muscles in your pectorals they will allow your breasts to have more lift/perkiness to them - giving the illusion of cleavage and making them look bigger. The diamond push-ups primarily target your triceps muscles, and only a little bit of your chest. You would be better off doing a Wide Push Up (Done exactly like a traditional push up but with your hands set as wide as is comfortable and you can control. We suggest hands 2 to 4 inches outside the width of your elbows when arms are straight out from) if push-ups are your thing. There are a variety of different exercises for chest workouts using dumb bells if you have them at home.
Do you still grow taller at 16?
Most males do stop growing at age 18. This assumes they started puberty at age 12, and had a growth spurt at ages 12 - 14 like an average male. If you match that, then your body has likely just stopped growing, and will continue growing again soon.During puberty, your body can stop growing to allow the rest of your body to catch up with your growth. This can happen if you grow more than 6 inches during your two year puberty growth spurt.Genetics does play a big role in height. However, so does nutrition. Most males nowadays will achieve the height of their father no matter how short or tall their mother is (as long as she isn’t extremely short), because the nutrition values have been improving a lot each generation. Nutrition is also required to even allow growth in terms of height, so the more you get, the more likely you are to reach your full genetic potential. Most of our height is also inherited from our father. If you were malnourished as a child, your current stature would explain why you haven’t achieved your fathers height.I’d go to your doctor, and ask him if there’s any medical issues. Growth hormone deficiency could be present (Growth hormone deficiency), or you could’ve simply stopped growing, and your growth plates are closed. You can ask for an x-ray to be performed on your growth plates to see if they’re closed or open. If your growth plates are closed, no more growth is possible without surgery.Overall, I’d go to your doctor, make sure no medical issues are present, check if your growth plates are closed or open, and if there are no medical issues, and your growth plates are open, just wait it out, because this is likely normal, and you’ll continue to grow within the next year or so.
Can breasts still grow at 16?
yes they can. when i was 16 i was an A, then it was like suddenly at 18 i was a C. a small one but one still the same. =D i am now 21, and a D. I think they have mellowed out now. lol. but you can get a good indication of how big you will be by your family. so if all the women in your family are big, you proabably will be too. just wait, they can get bigger.
I'm 16 years old and only 5'7". Can I grow taller?
At age 16, you’re pretty much done growing. As you can see from the chart below, you’re in about the 25th percentile and likely will grow another inch. Still, that means that about a quarter of population is going to be shorter than you. And (if it matters) that includes a lot of girls.At 5′7″ (or 5′8″ when you’re done growing), you’ll be able to do almost everything. OK, you likely won’t be a college or professional basketball player unless you’re awfully good. But you can wrestle; you can play baseball, and of course you can do anything academic. Still, just as an example, my son’s 5′3″ tall and is an MMA fighter with a 5–1 record. (See below after he won a fight. Notice he’s standing on his tip-toes. That got an appreciative response from the crowd.)There are plenty of things that don’t involve height, though at 5′8″ you’ll be perfectly normal.
Can I still grow when I'm 16 turning 17?
Teenagers often keep growing into their twenties, but girls tend to stop growing much earlier, often by their mid-teens. I was only one inch shorter than my full adult height by the time I was thirteen. My son was nearly his full height by the time he was fifteen but still grew until he was maybe nineteen. I knew someone who was 5′6″ when he graduated from high school but was 6′2″ when I met him in graduate school. He might have been a little undernourished in his childhood though. Some people train heavily in athletics and don’t reach their full height until they are down for months with an injury in their later twenties.Generally, boys are done growing sometime in the college years at the latest and girls are done growing usually in high school some time. This is based on my observation and not on statistics.
