is it true that you stop growing after you get your first period? if not then does getting your period early affect your growth or have anything to do with it?

it doesn't affect your growth really, you keep growing wayyy after that. actually your breasts aren't fully developed until around 22, and other parts of your body, such as your nose and ears- never stop growing.

No , you don't stop growing after you get your period. My mother is a nurse and I have asked her this question about a MILLION times before. Usually girls stop growing around the age 15 or 16. Sometimes younger if you matured(get your period) at an early age, and sometimes later if you matured late. You ever hear the expression girls mature faster than boys? Well it's true and boys (usually) don't stop growing until their late teens like 18 or 19.
Getting your period does affect your growth though. Once you get your period you will mature perbically, but such things as your height will go slower, but not stop.
PS: If you started when you were 11 and are 14 now, you probably will stop growing around 16 or maybe even 17. It really depends how tall you are now. Feel free to ask me any more questions anytime!
Hope this helped!

ok so basicallly when you get your period, you stop growing AROUND THAN
you might have stopped before, and you might keep growing for another year
in general, girls stop growing once they get their period.
i dont understand the second part of your question: do you mean get your monthly cycle early, or your first period? you should clarify that up.. but once you get your first period, hyou will most likely stop growing.
hope i helped =]
