Am I too tall? 5' 9.5" at 13? [Female] Be honest =]?

Question

It never actually crossed my mind until I read some other peoples' questions!
I know I'm taller than my friends, but I never thought I was at a bad height.
And does this mean I'm too tall for heals?
My dad is pretty tall 6' 4" and I take after him in every aspect [exept the man part..Lol]
I wanted to be around 5' 11" but after reading other people's querries - I don't know anymore!

Much Love Xx

Answer 1

I am 5'11 and at 13 I was about your height (I'm 26 now). Being tall has lots of advantages:
If you are athletic you can play basketball or volleyball.
You can get work as a model (start soon, like when you're 14 or 15, if your parents will help you, then you can start making money for college!)
You can see over people's heads in a crowded room (very helpful if you get lost).
You can keep your head above water in deeper water than most.
You can reach high shelves or on top of the refridgerator, places short people have to climb up on a stool to reach.
One disadvantage is that it can sometimes be difficult to find clothing that fits right. Jeans and skirts are often too short, but these days most stores sell their clothing in an assortment of lengths. And by all means, wear heels! They make your legs look even longer and sexier and if you're tall you'll probably have big feet and heels make your feet look smaller!

Answer 2

Darling as long as you're not also 500 pounds then you rock! Nothing should deter a statuesque beauty such as yourself from flaunting what you've got so work those heels!

Honestly the problem with height is it's something we can't really change about ourselves, so you sort of have to learn to live with it. Are you uncomfortable at that height? I'm tall as well, and it did use to make me feel a bit odd at school around my friends, especially because I'm tall and naturally quite thin. What you have to remember though is that people grow at different ages, and so you may well be an "early developer" (hint are you developing in other ways??). You'll probably always be on the tall side, but you may find you slow down a bit, and might not even cross into sixfoot land. Yet again, you might, especially given the height of your father.

Heehee I personally don't think you're "too tall", as I'd much rather be tall than really short, people will be envious of your tallness, no matter what your face is like people will still think you should be a model. I started modelling at your age, probably because I look quite "unique", and you sort of sound the same! Also, you should take up running or swimming, you probably have beautiful long gacela legs that would be just perfect for it. Count yourself lucky you're not short and stumpy! And you can wear cutting edge clothes and always look cool.

Be happy, and ask again in 6 years when you and your friends have all evened out your growing. Then we'll tell you if you're too tall xx

Answer 3

No! Not at all! When I was 10 I was 5 feet and 5 inches! It's just that some people mature faster than others and get growth spurts sooner! Eventually, you will stop growing before others do! Don't worry, hang in there! Wait until your second or third year of high school, where everyone will have reached you by then. And people who won't grow as tall as you aren't as blessed. I think the taller the better. Why do you think everyone wears heals?

Answer 4

You be what you want to be! If you play sports it is great to be tall. Totally plays in your favor. Being tall is not a bad thing. If you don't mind shorter guys, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Some girls just prefer taller guys and when you are tall sometimes it is hard to find a guy that is taller. That is why the comment about heels came up. If you are tall and have heels on, you just become that much taller. If you aren't worried about that stuff, then neither should anyone else. You be comfortable with you!

Answer 5

Your body is your body! It will be just the right height for you. Don't let anybody convince you that being average is better than being remarkable.

Tall women are often described as stunning, statuesque, goddesslike. You'll never have to rely on a guy to reach you something from a top shelf; you'll look beautiful in almost any clothing style; and you'll have a natural advantage in most sports. And yes, of course you can wear heels!

You might also think of your height as a natural Jerk Detector. Any guy who has a problem with your height isn't worth dating.

Answer 6

You are not to tall..I wish I could be that tall be happy for how you are and what you look like it doesnt matter about other ppls question or comments. Hey you are tall if you like to do more girl things try doing modeling it is possible and at your height they would love you just dont give up...if not try basketball you could surely make the team. So dont let other ppl get you down

Answer 7

There is no such thing as a bad height.

You are very tall for your age.

Other girls might be very short for their age. But in a few years your friends will grow and you probably will not grow much more than 1 or 2 inches.

Everyone is different. I am sure you have been told, all models are tall like you.

Stand tall and be proud of who you are.

Answer 8

No you are not too tall! I am your height also and I am 26 y/o. but when i was 13 I was this same height! I was taller than all the girls my age and taller than most of the guys. but as everyone hit puberty everything started to equal out! my dad is also 6'4 and the rest of my family is tall - so i was destined to be tall! at first i felt uncomfy, but the older I get the more comfy i feel about myself! stand tall and proud and be glad that you are tall! my fiance is only a few inches taller than me, so i still feel awkward if i wear heels when i am with him , so i wear flats. but be proud of who you are! women tell em all the time that they wish they were tall like me! me proud and stand tall!

Answer 9

You are not too tall. Most girls (I think ) want to be tall. I have a sister that is 6'2" . She was very popular in high school.
It is the way you view life that is important, not how tall or short you are. And if you are tall you have better view than most people.
Being a young person, I can tell you to praise God that you are tall, your prayers get to Him faster. I would say most people want to be tall....... And don't get a tattoo, it is God warning in the Bible not get a tattoo.

Answer 10

hi,
no way you are not too tall. i was the same height at 13 but afterwards i stopped growing. so now at 18, i`m still the same height. but it can be a problem to wear high heels. i usually avoids those since i become taller than most guys when i wear them. the only time i wear heels is when i go to weddings or stuffs... so don`t worry you can still wear heels if you want but small ones ...

take care....
