Answer 1

Whoa! You are tall! Stay tall. Be proud. Carry your I.D. and birth certificate with you whereever you go.

Answer 2

That's pretty good for a new teen. I remember when I was 13 I was like 4"9 and then I suddenly grew to be 5"8 now that I am 15 so I hope to keep going and grow taller. I think you're quiet tall for your age and keep up the good diet, exercises, and good lifestyle and you'll grow to be about 6"4 (which is very good!) Okay well keep smiling stay happy enjoy and good luck! Bye!

Answer 3

I was the second tallest girl in my class in 7th grade. I never let it affect me. You are still growing at this point, but usually this is where it stops(give or take a year). I was 5 ft 7(at 14) and I am now 39 yrs old and I am now 5 ft 5. You tend to shrink when you get older so be proud that you are tall! And don't be embarassed if you feel awkward, it will be ok. You are not alone.

Answer 4

Right now, you may not like being tall, but in a few years, most of the other girls will start catching up to you. You should learn to love your height. When I was younger, like 6 or 7, I was always one of the tallest kids in my class and I hated it! Now, I'm 16 and about 5'6. I kinda wanna be taller like around your height. A lot of people envy your height. And don't hunch over. That will just make you look not confident. Stand up tall and be proud. I don't know if you'll grow anymore, but just try and be happy with yourself.

Answer 5

Omgosh!!! 5'8 is a GOOOOOD height!! trust me, better than being a 5'2.5 midgete like me :) Besides when you get in high school there will be people even taller than you and you'll feel short lol! so love your height.... i mean you're close enough to be a model height :D Now as far as the stupid six flags people just bring a birth cirtificate around with you everywhere lol or bring some sort of school ID thats your best bet!


Good luck!

Answer 6

For the time being keep a copy of your birth certificate with you to avoid the kind of problems you are facing. They would not last very long.
Thee future is bright but you have to keep and build your self respect. Probably you would have different problems if you were very short instead of tall. Think positive, think basketball and other things where the height will help.

Answer 7

Go get an ID card from the motor vehicle department. My son is the same way; overly tall for his age and most people don't believe that he's only 14. Now, he has proof of his age. You'll need to take your birth certificate to get an ID.

Answer 8

Dont worry cause when i was 12 i was 5'6 and half and stayed like that u might of hit a growth spourt and stoped because that happends in alot of teenagers then soon enough everybody passes u or same height and its not being tall so much opprotunities

Answer 9

being tall isn't so bad all the time. as you get older, you will still be a little tall, but people will grow and catch up to you.

don't worry about it. i know it can be frustrating. except for me it's the opposite. i'm about 5'1" and im 15 almost 16, it sucks cuz people always think im younger than i really am, and they dont believe me when i tell them my age. plus, my sister is 6 foot, so we are almost a foot difference, it's a little weird to stand next to her. =]

i hope this helps! stay strong, tall isnt so bad, some people would love to be as tall as you!

Answer 10

ok seriously thats not that tall for a 13 year old. so u really need to get over it cuz ur gonna be in high school pretty soon and there r gonna be girls that r so much taller than u. and trust me bein tall is so much better than bein short cuz im 5'1 and im 16 and i would give anything to be ur height. hey do u wanna switch! lol j/k

Answer 11

I went through the same thing at your age. I know what you are going through. All the boys are shorter than you too, right? It will get better! Maybe you can carry your birth certificate around with you just to prove it to people that you are 13.
