Answer 1

First of all, if you're 14 then stop worrying about the boy. You are only a kid once, and it doesn't last very long. Enjoy being a kid while you still can. Yes, I'm sure you don't see yourself as "a kid," but in 10 years you will look back and laugh at how young you were.
As far as growing.......you are ONLY 14! You are still growing! Girls, on average, don't finish growing until they are 16 or 17. Stop worrying and carry on with having fun.

Answer 2

I guess I can't help you; I'm 52 years old, and I'm also only 5 feet tall. I like being short, though! Other than occasionally having trouble reaching for things, there are lots of advantages to being short. You're NEVER taller than a guy, so you have lots of options for dates. You can relate well to children, if you choose to do work that involves them. You may very well come across as unthreatening, so that can enhance some work as well. You can wear clothes that larger women can only dream about wearing. You can also be a bit of a surprise package, in that people may assume things about a small person, and get a big surprise when you show them otherwise. Yes, you may have to work a little harder to make yourself noticed, but that's a matter of how you carry yourself - if you ACT like you're 6-foot-6, NOBODY is going to ignore you :-)

Answer 3

honey, relax, you will grow, you still have a good six years before you stop growing, you will reach the height predetermined by your genes, and there is nothing you can do to change that or grow taller.
As for the boy two years older than you? Don't be in a rush for relationships, they will happen too, and likely long before you have the best skills to deal with them anyway. Most of the regrets we older people have related to mistakes made in our youth. You probably won't listen, the young never do, they think they have all the answers, but I'm trying to give you the benefit of what I learned, don't rush it.

Answer 4

Sorry, but your height is controlled entirely by genetics. The good news is you're not done growing yet, so don't sweat it. Besides, what makes you think being taller will help you get this guy's attention? Even if you shot up four or five inches he may not even notice you. So instead of worrying about your height, work on your confidence and your attitude. Guys like women who are confident but not stuck-up. Nail that and you'll get his attention.

Answer 5

I'm twice your age and I'm 5'1". My husband is 6'3". Most guys like their women smaller. Look at Eva Longoria and Tony Parker!

Appreciate your littleness! It's your confidence and attitude that can make you seem 6 ft tall.

Answer 6

this would appear as if lots, yet i think around a hundred pounds is powerful. yet to income this weight you shouldn't consume junk foodstuff. consume healthful lean nutrients that should assist you benefit healthful weight. attempt pasta and lean crimson meat.

Answer 7

It depends on your genes. Are other family members petite?
I guess you could eat your Wheaties.
Just love yourself the way you are, and be grateful that your not so tall that you TOWER over everyone. Focus on your pretty eyes,or shiny hair, graceful walk, or your bubbly personality, athletically blessed,etc..... your all that!!!!!!

Answer 8

You are still growing. I did not reach my full height until I was almost out of college.
There is really nothing you can do to speed the process along.
