Everyone always tells me I am really tall... so is it possible to just stop having growth spirts and like stay the same hight forever?!?!?!?!? Also I am asking this one for my neighbor who is super short like a foot shorter than me and the same age--- Is it possible to be really really short and then become a tall person like me?
Oh and also is it normal for people to call you names because you are tall? Some kid calls me Yoa Ming... =(

your genetic structure determines your height, when you attain that height, you will stop growing. Be more concerned with what kind of person you want to be and a lot less concerned with how you look.

hey!
don't be upset. I know it's tough being ten and that tall. I was ten and the tallest one in my class and then i got my period. now im stuck being one of the shortest people. Granted i'm not 5'5. I would LOVE to be 5'5! and I'm 19. Believe me that height can come in handy. So many models were made fun of in school, but they ended up more successful than those who maade fun of them. Embrace the things that make you unique. That's what makes you special. And if ppl call you Yoa Ming, just laugh at them, and tell them" yeah, you're right! I am Yoa Ming". They'll either respect you more or stop calling you this name cuz they know it won't bother you anymore. Keep your head up!!

I'm a tall person myself! Its possible you're growing earlier than everyone else and your classmates will catch up...but chances are, you'll keep growing and always be tall.
Did you know most supermodels have to be over 5'10" to be considered? Tell that one to the teasers! Tall is beautiful! I spent so much of my life wishing to be a shortie...and yeah, I was teased too. Everyone grows at their own rate - maybe your neighbor will sprout up super fast, maybe he/she wil always stay short. Who knows? Doctors can give fairly accurate guesses on how tall you will grow, but that's just guesses.
As long as your healthy, you're fine. Love yourself!

good day have you ever heard that music? White giiiiiiiiiirrrllllls! won't pass aaaaaawaaaay! Sarah Jessica Julie too! Whiiiiiiiittteeee giiiiiiiiirrrrllllls! won't pass away! The extra I see the extra I do! LOL superb %.. The waistband on "your," panties is lookin' VERY suspicous, B. Take a photo of your self keeping up a demonstration or something so we are going to comprehend that is you. that's what I usually do to instruct it. or you're able to take a speedy webcam clip. because of the fact you won't have the ability to photoshop video. in case you won't have the ability to do those issues, i'm forced into purely thinking you such as you had a butt. Plus, that butt particularly isn't that primary on that chick - her waist is purely particularly small.

That is plain rude! My friend is in sixth grade and she's in my class, she's a really tall girl. When people make fun of her she ignores it. She totally loves being tall her cousin is a basketball player! You will eventually stop having growth spurts. Don't let people get to you!

You keep on growing all the way thru ur teenage years.
girls, however, tend to have spirts at a younger age and then slow down, whereas boys just keep on growing more steadily for a lot longer.
just remember - "sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me"!

No is never OK to call people names,, you might want to talk to your mom, family,, cause if you come from tall people it is normal for you to be tall,, but is 100% better to ask your mom, she will know how to help you,,, go go to your mom OK? stop asking strangers, Good luck!!

Be happy to be tall, comes in handy sometimes... Ignore the other kids they're just jealous that your taller more then likely.
