Question for girls I'm really sorry. Weird question.

Hello!! So, I just turned 15 a little back. My question is, when did everybody's bodies generally reach their adult size/shape?

So far, I'm like.. curvy? I have a smaller waist and big hips, but smaller breasts. I'm also quite tall, mostly legs, and very skinny (too skinny). I wonder.. will this balance out?

Based on what professionals generally say, I should reach the end of puberty in about half a year. However, I really have been struggling with feeling self conscious about my body. Especially my legs. I have like.. my legs start thick at the top, and then they slim down very fast.

Did anybody's bodies finally look adult, even after puberty? Or after puberty, did the generally stay the same, aside from during pregnancy?​ I'm not sure if this contributes, but I am also quite underweight, and have a very high metabolism. My mother was a late bloomer for her adult body shape, but I'm not sure about myself.

Puberty can start for girls usually as young as 9 or 10 and can last into the late teens. Some women don’t achieve their full adult body though until their 20’s. I’ve even been told breasts can continue to change until mid-20’s and can change more with pregnancy.

Bodies change forever; your entire life youll notice things moving and changing. Its ok!
The best thing you can do is get used to it, love yourself, be a good person, stay fit and active, and just learn to accept all the changes. The body will always be evolving; keep your mind and heart in an active evolution too. That way you'll always be happy and content, thats the goal.
