Everybody tells me that I'm really short, and I can't reach anything.
I wanted to start learning to drive when I turn 15 but it's not going to happen if I can't even see over the dashboard!
I already had a growth spurt when I was 12(4'7")
help?

My lady is 4' 11" and she drives just fine. I love her being short. I think she is very cute. But for some reason, she hates it. Bottom line, we can't change some things.

They say that girls grow until they are 18. When I started my period at age 12, I was five feet tall. I am still five feet tall. I may have grown a tiny bit after that but not so anyone could tell. Your daughter may grow an inch or so more, but probably not much, unless she has not yet started her period. 4' 11" is not dwarfism. My mom was 4' 9" and was perfectly normal. A dwarf is a person who has a large body but shortened legs and arms and does not look like other people. If she is perfectly normal in appearance except for being a bit short, she is fine.

Honey, sorry to inform you...I currently know 3 adults over the age of 21 who are still under 5'. This does not by any means mean you will be unsuccessful or unable to attract a mate.(Some guys actually ADORE short women and even more of them aren't so shallow as to carry a tape measurer and don't think "You must be this tall to hold my hand.") It may be frustrating to be vertically challanged, but it isn't an all bad thing.
As far as seeing over the dash board? That's only on the passengers side, right? Drivers side chairs are height adjustable, and there are brake/gas peddal extenders available to those who need them.
Take care and God bless.

Please note: The most important factor in determining final height is genetics. Your height depends mostly on the height of your parents.
However you may;
1. Increase height by taking pills three times daily-- but it maybe a scam that sell height increasing products.
2. Growth hormones or other advertised growth suppliments.
Leg-stretching Surgery.T he maximum amount of height increase is about 3 inches or 7 to 8cm with surgery on the lower legs. Additional surgery on the upper legs is highly discouraged because it makes the patient appear significantly disproportional.
3. Streching exercises, daily (Through a combination of techniques such as limb lengthening, stretching exercises, and supplements ).

I'm 20 and I'm 5'10 and trust me, you don't wanna be this tall. Just think about all the shoes you can wear! you can wear as many heels as you want, as tall as you want....you'll have no problem finding a man taller than you...it's awesome!
I wish I was a little shorter....
If you already got your period...then you probably won't grow much more....maybe you already stopped growing....if you don't have your period yet (I got mine at 16), then you will most likey grow a little more...
Either way, just be happy with who you are...you only live once so you might as well be happy...

you can't do anything bout your height ,but be happy. who cares what other people think just be you & you will make friends no matter what. i have a daughter your age & she is my size..now that is scarey for me but that is how god made her.think of it this way you can get tot places others can't! you get the last laugh, i am barely over 5 foot tall & i tease the tall people so just go with it.besides a guy don't want a real tall girl. just be you & have fun!

eat properly like people said. and wait, I had my last growth spurt around 16, so you're probably due in another 15 months or so.
