I like Norma Jean's comment that you could be a model. Being tall is a blessing. I'm sorry that it's been a difficulty for you in your life. If you're 17, you're probably just at the end of high school. I promise you that college or the work world will be kinder to you. People are more accepting of those you look different.
I have the opposite problem. I'm 5'2"! I got made fun of in the opposite way, because I'm short. It's difficult either way, but I've learned to find advantages to being short as well. Just try to find a way to be happy with yourself, and getting out of high school will help with that, I'm sure of it.
Also, always remember...
Don't be afraid to be different. All the great ones were.

I'm so sorry you feel this way but let me tell you, us shorties WISH we were that tall! I swear to you that my friends, who are all mostly 5'6" and under, would give anything to be tall and slim. I'm 5'5" & I'd love to be that tall and fit & thin. It'snot greener on this side. We envy you tall people just as much as you eny us shorties/average sized people.
Be thankful for what you have and just think...you could be a model wich is every averaged size girl's DREAM! I'm telling you truthfully, be proud of who you are because we all envy your height and body type. I hope you gain more confidence in yourself :) Good luck and take this advice seriously!!

Someone once told me that taller people live longer than shorter people. So I don't mean to rain on your parade, but since I'm fairly shorter (not too short) you will certainly live longer than me. Hope you figure this out. Maybe you should eat a ton of pizza. I think this made me shorter.

OK this is not one of my common answers...God made you this way for a reason. You will not know what the reason is now as it will come to you later in life.
You can do nothing to change your height. But Please understand that you have to be happy with who you are inside. The outside is just a shell.
As far as boys are concerned, beleive me in saying most guys like tall women (more to love).
Hope this helps but keep your head up. You are perfectly fine.

There is no way to "shrink" yourself.
If your feet hand off the bed, get a longer bed.
