How can you tell if you've grown? You measure yourself ofcourse! Ruth just put on a dress that Claire wore when she was 12. It fit her. Ruth's grown. Eliza just tried on a dress that was too tight a few months ago - it fits her now. She's grown taller.
How can you tell if you've grown emotionally? Ask the people who know you well I guess. Try some new things. Try some old things and see if you feel differently about it.
Or you could move in with other people and you'll be guaranteed to grow.
