It depends. Most girls stop growing by about the age of 18. Like every other human trait the age at which growth plates fuse follows the normal curve (or bell curve). When your growth plates fuse you are finished growing. Some girls stop growing prior to menarche (The onset of menstruation), some stop shortly after it, and some keep growing for a long time after. One way to guess how much more a female will grow is to see how wide her hips are in comparison to adult females in her family. The closer she is to her adult female relatives in hip width the more likely it is that she is near the end of growing. This is however just a rule of thumb, and therefore often not completely accurate. It is also likely that her growth pattern will be similar the theirs, thus it might be wise to ask them what age they stopped growing. If a no other information was available to help determine this, and a person really wanted or needed to know, a way of telling would be to look at X-RAY images of your bones to see if they are beginning to fuse yet or not.
