I'm sure Rebecca is girl...guys!
I was about 5'7 in the 8th grade and could touch the net but after that there wasn't too much more... You must have a great natural leaping ability.
Although 1 year to learn how to dunk is a very short time period...you can sure try. You have to do a lot of calves raises and you also could try some of the training programs and training shoes to that increase your vertical leap. I'm not sure if they work but I know they cost money. Just search google.
You must keep in mind that there is more than just jumping involved in dunking...you have to learn how to palm the ball and get it above the rim. I'm only 5'7 but I have big hands so I can palm the ball...just can't get above the rim. Good Luck!

BRO..those other answers suck. Man let me tell you..I'm 5 ft 3 in the 10th grade and I can easily dunk. Some don't belive it until they see it. BUT let me tell you. I didn't make it on my own. I went to lessons and it helped me to jump higher and higher until i was finally able to touch rim then eventually dunk. SO practe buildin your calve muscles and jumping drills and exercises. You'll get there.I know it.

in case you may grab the rim truly and carry on you need to be in a position to dunk a basketball. And us boys we dont cease starting to be till like we are 21 so u prob will improve. in case you cant dunk now basically shop on juping with out the basketball and call the rim. Then try it with a asketball.

As weird as these look, I've been told they work. But If you don't want to invest so much money, you can do calf exercises like others have said.
