Why Is There An Unsteady Flow In My Growth?

Question

Okay, so I've pretty much been the same *bust* size for one year. My height is okay, but it take a while for me to "grow". And, I've been noticing that sometimes I like grow, a lot, for a week of two and then STOP. Is that normal? So, my question is why is that? Does that happen - I've finished one year of my period & my friend who had it one or two months after me - has a bigger chest, much taller, etc. I know people grow at different flows but I mean am I normal?! Oh, and I'm 13, turning 14 in a month & 1/2.

Thanks.
Ps: I'm starting like a little chart thing to compare each months' height/bust/waist, etc... measurements. So, I can really see if I'm growing or not.

I'm not sure why you think your period has anything to do with your rate of growth.  Look around and you'll see that girls and women come in all shapes and sizes.  You will go through many growth spurts during your childhood and teen years and there really is no predicting when they happen.  I don't see any reason why you would need to keep a chart of such things but if you truly are concerned there is something wrong then speak to a pediatrician or your school RN.
