I just really hate being tall! I'm already 5'7 and only 13. Is there some kind of pill I can take to get shorter or stop getting taller, or surgery, or excercise? Please, tell me I need to know. I hate being tall. Some people consider it good, but I dont!

I hated being tall for SOOOO long-I am now 37 and am a 6'1" woman.Pants were too short, BOYS were too short(some still are) but I got used to it. I was really shy when I was younger,and wish I'd stood up straighter THEN, because I have to be really conscious of it now....Being a tall hunchback is unattractive.
So, sweetie,as a tall woman I know these things: I can gain weight because it doesn't show as much as a short person.I can intimidate people (not that I do really anymore) if I have to.My legs are wickedly long and skirts look good on me.Clothes hang well on me.I can reach so much more stuff than everyone else.When I need to have my hair colored,it's less noticeable to the shorter people.Being a Mom who is tall gave me quicker labors than my shorter friends(and I didn't look as huge as them either).I could ride horses when my friends could only ride ponies.I got to model a little bit,which was cool.Some men flip over tall women(not the short insecure men,but who wants a guy like that anyway?)...I could go on and on....
It took a long time,but now I know(and I frequently reminded my now 5'10" 14 year old daughter this) that TALL WOMEN RULE THE WORLD!!!!!!
try to be grateful you are healthy,tall and beautiful, believe me, others are insanely jealous of us.....
(OK, by the way,5'7" is average,good chance I will still be taller than you when you are done growing)

Sweetie, I emphatize with you, chances are, you won't get that much taller. I understand your concern because I was once in your shoes. At your age, you don't want to stand out or be different from your friends and being tall definitely makes you stand out. But wait. In a few years, you will be wishing that you could be even taller. That's because you will learn to like the way you look. Please try to see all the good things about yourself. Your height is very desirable. Do you realize how many people, both men and women who would do anything to be in your place?

Anything that actually would make you stop getting taller could be seriously dangerous for your health. You need to accept the fact that you are tall. Besides, being tall is actually pretty cool.

Girl, don't even think about it! Yeah, now you're taller than a lot of the boys in your group, but, at thirteen, you might not be ready for life decisions. Tall IS good.

well i hear that caffine stunts your growth but im not sure if this is true or not. i know girls tend to grow faster than guys do, im not a girl so i may be wrong but i belive when girls hit puberty that they usualy shoot up to be the height that they will be in a short time while guys gradualy grow, im 5'7 and 14 and still growing, i enjoy it cause i can reach everything in the house and my sister always asks me for help cause she is about 6 inches shorter than me. also when ur older, well at least in my family, girls spins tend to "shrink" and they arnt as tall as they used to be. hope that helps

You probably had a growth spurt and chances are you won't get much taller. I'm not aware of anything you can do to get shorter. Hey, maybe you can give me some height. I'm 20 and only 5'2- not fair!

There is nothing that I am aware of but I think as you get older you will be happy about it. Most people have something about themselves that they don't like. Guess what? I wish I was taller! Embrace yourself the way you are. I'm sure you are beautiful inside and out.

Ok umm just deal with what you got. You're just growing earlier than everyone else. I remember my friend used to be so much taller than everyone but eventually everyone else grew and she wasn't taller than everyone anymore, so just live with what you have and love it.
