No, it's fine. You're still growing. You'll probably stay around 5'6"/5'7" forever. Be who you are and don't be jealous about everyone else (nothing you can do about it anyway, so just embrace it!). 5'6" is the average height for women in the U.S. anyway, so you're tall for your age, but not too tall overall.

Absolutely not! The shorter girls are jealous because you are the first person people notice. Some boys like shorter girls because they want to seem "manly". A real man will like you no matter how tall you are. Eventually, the shorties will catch up to you (or maybe they won't). But don't be embarassed by your height. It makes you special and use it to your advantage!!!

It's pretty tall, but that's ok! Embrace the fact that you look down towards people instead of up! And a lot of shorter people want to be tall like you! I'm 14 and about 5' 1/2". God, how I would love to stop having to look up towards people...

It it not too tall. You may hit a plateau and stop growing. I was 5'4" at age 12. I am only 5'5" now and I am grown. The boys may like the shorter girls right now only because they are embarassed that they are shorter than you. They will catch up. You are too young to worry about that now.

I was 5'7" by the time I was 13. I towered over all the boys at school, and at that time I was really shy about it. Once I became an adult everything changed! Everything! Just think.....when you become an adult you will be tall and slender, and "willowy"....all those short people will just be chunky. And you won't be as restricted as to what fashions you can wear because you can wear just about anything. Short people can't wear long skirts because they look like they have no legs. You will look lovely and sexy in them. Short people have to wear high heels to give them any height at all. You can wear any kind of shoe. Flats and sandals. And high heels make your long slender legs look great! Play it up and make the most of it.
Stand straight and tall and carry yourself with pride. Pat all your short friends on the head, and say things like "oh...can I reach that for you?". Don't ever let them think you envy their lack of height. You have "it" all over them, girlfriend. So build you self esteem to match your physical height.
I wish somebody had told me all this when I was your age, maybe I wouldn't have been so self-conscious. I feel your "pain" sweetie, but I promise it will all get better.

definite. the overall top for an American grownup woman is 5'4", so thinking that you're in reality 13 and 5'7", it quite is tall. yet do not difficulty about it; a minimum of you've the opprotunity to be a variety once you're older!

Guys your age probably DO gravitate toward shorter girls, but only because they have a lot of growing to do themselves.
I don't think you're too tall, but I'm 5'6" too, and I haven't grown since I was 11.
Don't worry - once those guys grow up, they'll be ALL OVER you! And I don't know about you, but I have LONG legs...and we LIKE them.

You're fine! I was 5'8" when I was in 8th grade...about 14. My female cousin was 6'.0". You will wear your clothes well with your height and find sizes that fit easier than someone who is not as tall. If you gain weight, it will show less.
You'll find a boy who is what you need all in good time. Don't fret about that now...sometimes the better things take longer to come about.

Relax, I was the tallest in my class at that age ( I'm 5'5"). Know I am the shortest of all my friends and in my family.
13 yr old boys are stupid anyway. Be young and have fun. The right one will come a long when the time is right.
Besides, the boys are feeling insecure because you are taller, they haven't hit their growth spurts yet. Use the height to your advantage.

I am also 13 and I know many girls at my school who are tall and popular and have boyfriends. I wouldnt be jealous of short girls i'd be jealous of the tall ones.
