Am I Tall for A 13 Year Old?!?

Question

Age:13
Gender:Male
Height:6'0''
Shoe Size:12

I Play Basketball, But My School Will Prolly Ruin My Chances Of Ever Getting To Play....I Didnt Make The 8th Grade Team, Because My School Is bias and picks the kids that's dads are high school football coaches and that are lawyers ...their are like at least 3 or 4 kids that do not need t o be on the team

Answer 1

omg! lol you are very tall!!!!


i have friends that are 15 that are 6'0 and i thought they were tall but now for your age??

lol heck yah talll

Answer 2

That's how tall I was at that age, and same size shoes to, but I stopped growing after that, at least height and shoe size wise. I'm 21 now and still 6' and I wear either a 12 or a 13 depending on the brand of shoes.

Answer 3

Answer, let me tell ya what!!!!! Height has nothing to do with ability,agility, and team play. Can ya dribble,pass,shoot? Can ya set up a block and pivot? How many times out of 10 can ya hit a free throw? Did ya know Micheal Jordan didn't make the team either? His coach told him he thought maybe basketball wasn't his "Game"!!! But he practiced, practiced, etc, etc and became one of the best at basketball.Don't expect everything at 13 to fall into place. Keep on keeping on, like I said. Practice fast breaks, up down,side to side. Put a backpack on with 20 extra lbs in it and practice vertical jumps. Food, ya are what ya eat. For breakfast, start with some fruit and then a whole grain cereal with milk, little or no sugar,Lunch: vegetables, breads,milk,pastas for carbohydrates. Supper: Need to be protein, meat and potatoes, green veggies and yellow veggies . Think of yourself as a racehorse and the way they are fed and trained. Study the food groups and NO FAST FOODS as they clog ya up with litle or no vitamins and nutrients. How about the city leagues? have ya tried out for any of those? High school teams are not the only place you can play for . now follow my advice, keep your grades up and send me tickets when ya play in the SEC or Big 10, or any college platform, OK?

Answer 4

Yeah, you're a little taller than most. But don't worry about it. You'll grow into yourself. A lot of kids sprout up when they hit 12-14 years old.

If people bug you about it, just keep in mind that they're all short. I work with a guy who is 19 years old and is 6'10''. Everyone always stares at him, but he's a cool guy. And he never played basketball just because he's tall.

Answer 5

First of all, I want to say that I am amazed at your stature!

I wish you the best of luck in lfe finding shoe sizes that fit :)

I think that the reason why children these days are geting taller/bigger in size at such a young age is because of all of the hormones that they put in the chicken.

Answer 6

I'm 13 im 5'7 and have a 11 1/2 foot so yeah just a lil.

Answer 7

You're the same height as my 13 year old son. I think it is tall for the age group, but wouldn't you rather be taller than shorter?

Answer 8

WOW DUDE! if you want to be shorter then sumthin is wrong wicha, cuz u can grow up to be a famous b-ball player!!

you owe me a million dollars when u get a job w/ the lakers!

Answer 9

Answer 10

One thing that will help you lose weight: diet pills. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few until I found a great one that works (its all natural too!). You can go to
