Don't take any drugs you don't need to. Everything has side effects.
You'll LOVE being tall when you're older. Just think how unique you are, what the hell do you want to be like everyone else for? Most of them are probably secretly wishing they were as tall as you.

The only way they would give you meds to stunt your growth would be if you had one of those giant diseases that are very rare and your "abnormal" growth would have unhealthy side effects.
Some people, especially girls, just grow quicker than others. The good news is they usually stop growing taller sooner. That is what happened to me. In the mean time...appreciate your uniqueness. Do you realize how jealous most of society will be of you one day? Model are considered some of the most beautiful people in the world and they all have to be tall. Consider it a blessing and not a curse.

I wouldn't worry too much. When I was little I always seemed to be taller than everyone else my age, but by the time I left 6th Form I was about in the middle.
It's not always true that your friends will end up taller than you, some might, but it's doubtful that all of them will!
You may hate it at the moment, but stand tall, once everyone else has caught up, you don't want to be the only one looking all hunched up! There's lots of advantages to being tall - you can reach things they can't, you look older than them etc...

Arsinic or heavy metals. Trust me, you'll stop growing.
Just kidding! I'm rather short (5' 4.5") and I'd LOVE to be taller than all of my friends. Everyone grows at their own rate. Don't mess with what nature indended. She knows best!

There are ways to stunt growth. I don't think there are any pills that will do it.
For the most part, unless you are extremely tall for your age, other people will catch up to you eventually. If you think you are abnormally tall, consult your doctor about it. Chances are that you aren't though.
And for the most part, being tall is desirable. Maybe not from your current perspective, but for the most part, it's better to be tall.

you could see your doctor but i dont think there are any pills to stunt growth. it varies as to growth spurts , some grow early and some late whereas some people grow at a consistent rate throughout their teens. you can only be who you are , get used to your height , there are pros and cons to being tall. i'm 6'5" and have to live with all that brings with it.
