Sorry honey, nothing you can do about it. Personally, I think I'd rather have been tall. Being short sucks too. Nobody takes a short person seriously, you can never reach stuff without standing on something. And to top it all off I'm short, but stocky, so I can't find clothes easy because everything that's big enough is way too long. Pants have to be hemmed, I can't wear a long sleeved shirt because the sleeves stop four inches past my finger tips.
So maybe I don't know what it's like to be tall, but you don't know what it's like to be short. And short people experience the other side of the same problem. The world is average, and if you're not you feel out of place. I'm sorry you're not happy with your height, but there's really nothing to do but accept it and move on.

There isn't really anything you can do about your height. It's not as simple as changing your weight. All you can really do is learn how to embrace it and make it work to your advantage. I'm sure you have amazing qualities that you can work with like a pair of great legs! Basketball and Modeling would be the obvious but try to find other outlets for your height if either of those dont appeal to you.
EDIT: judging by the username the asker is a girl so I don't quite think getting chicks is the goal at hand.

nothing you can do. There are short people who envy you. Learn to be proud of it! -- Come up with some derogatories to the people who kid you about it. The say "How's the weather up there?" etc. Without a beat you need a comeback. "It's great! How's the little stump the dog's p:ss on doing today?"............... maybe not the best, but you get the idea. Get some together. They'll stop because of the embarasment to them. ---- There are gals looking for TALL. Right ladies?

I'm Filipino and all my relatives try to push me and my other female relatives to go for a tall guy since we tend to be short and a tall counterpart can bring much needed height. If you wait a year or two, the other kids around you might start to catch up.
Learn to accept it because there is nothing more attractive than a person who is confident esp. in their own body.

I was the tallest in my class and I know exactly how you feel. However, when you get older you'll appreciate it. I am. For example, because I'm tall people don't think I'm as heavy as the scales say I am. I can carry my weight very well. There is nothing you can do, except to accept yourself and be happy of who you are. Go out for basketball. Use your heighth to your advantage. People will appreciate you for who you really are on the inside.

There is nothing you can do about your height. What you should do instead is make the height you have into an advantage. For example modelling and basketball promote the asset of height. Make the most of what you have rather than think about what you may not have.

Well you know perfectly well you can't shrink, so you have to go with what you got. Stand up tall and proud. Nothing looks worse that a tall person hunched over. I love tall people. Be proud of your height, use it to your advantage. If you're confident, tall, straight and poised no one will mess with you!

You sound like some of those really tall sexy models. Are you one of those Brazilians? Okay I like tall girls, sorry I could be your dad. Well anyway God made you tall for a reason. Their is purpose for you to be tall. Someday you might turn someone on, big time! Theirs bound to be a much younger version of me out there.

you may hate it now, but give it till college and you'll have all the girls fawning over (or in your tall case, under) you. Girls like tall men. And NEVER make the mistake of slouching! You will not look confident and happy in your own skin.

You'll have to learn to live with it...but also find some humor as well from it.
My ex-husband is 6'9" and boy did he have some snappy comebacks.
When asked, "How's the weather up there?", He'd kinda spit down at them and say "It's raining."
Also, when asked the inevitable question of "Do you play basketball!?", he would reply, "No, do you play miniature golf?"
