    Female Growth Patterns
    Girls typically reach the peak of their growth spurt about two years after puberty begins, according to KidsHealth.org. After girls begin menstruation -- typically around age 12 or 13 -- they usually grow another inch or two. Most girls are finished growing by age 14 or 15, but this might be earlier or later depending on when they reached puberty. The average adult female in the United States measures about 64 inches tall, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.


    Male Growth Patterns
    Boys generally hit their growth spurt about two years after girls, according to KidsHealth.org. Most boys grow most quickly between ages 12 and 15 and stop growing by age 16, but this depends on when they reach puberty. Boys usually continue developing muscles and gaining weight after they stop growing taller. The average adult male in the United States is about 69 inches tall, according to the CDC.
