Answer 1

At your age I had reached my full height and was making fun of my shorter friends. Turns out most of them continued to grow past 14 and are now taller than me. So don't worry, you will probably still grow. But yes your parents, specifically your mother, will give you a good idea of how tall you'll grow to, but not always.

As for skinny, that will definitely change! Enjoy food, exercise in moderation and live a healthy lifestyle and you'll land up at a healthy weight that will suit your frame, however tall you end up being.

I am short, but am the envy of many people because I'm in good proportion. I wasn't really that way at school though. I first had to learn not to compare myself to others and be content with what I've been given genetically and then working with that.

Exercise and work out to develop your shape as your grow, but don't be fanatical. I personally don't think that extremely athletic girls are very sexy or womanly. Also dress to suit your shape and it'll do wonders. Don't copy others!

P.S. boys love petite girls who are confident.

Answer 2

Take a look at your parents for a hint. If they're small, then maybe!

You can't do much about your height - but you can always build up muscle with exercise if you think you look too skinny.

I really wouldn't worry about your size, though. I used to - I'm almost 16 and 5'1. That is until this summer, when I worked on a film project with a guy.

We had long conversations in between takes and stuff, and he told me - and he seemed really geniune - that guys absolutly love petite girls. It's about feeling you can take care of them. He said that the majority of his friends wanted cute, small girls to cuddle.

And thinking about it, I've had a few really nice boyfriends, and they've all commented on how being small/petite is a cute thing.

In fact, I know a lot of tall girls who'd love to be my height.

Don't worry about it, seriously. But if you really want to predict what you'll look like when you're older - the height of your parents is always a good place to start.

Answer 3

I'm 5'9" and 220 lbs. I'm the average height and weight for an athletic male.... I imasculate the men and suprise the females at work. There are sometimes that I wish I could be skinnier and have better self esteem about myself. But I take pride in the fact that I can toss a pallet like nothing, while the guys watch in awe of this chick that could probably bench them.

As long as you feel good about yourself, you don't need to be steriotypical size 8.

Answer 4

there's no definite answer to your question but at your age you still can grow and if you don't want to be skinny,eat more but keep a balanced diet so you wont be fat and it doesn't matter whether you're tall or short what's on the outside doesn't always tell you the personality of the person if you receive criticism from someone else whether positive or negative,you should look on the bright side and think about how that can improve you

Answer 5

I think you will get taller but it also depends on the genes you have from your mother.If your mother is petite too,or your grand mother also,I dont think you would get much taller.In my opinion there is nothing wrong to being petite.I would be glad if I were like you .I m 15 and tall

Answer 6

Look at the bright side, if you are short you can date all the boys!! Not just the tall ones!

Answer 7

i'd love to be smaller than i am now, imagine being taller than your boyfreind/husband it would be creepy. dont worry about it you'll get taller...i'm relaxed with my hight i'm just an inch taller then u or so!
