You're still below average height for an American woman and at your age, almost any height is normal (I was 5'7" when I started ninth grade.)  You can't know for sure when you will stop growing, but a year or so after your periods start is a good gauge.\n\nDon't try to stunt your growth using junk food.  Not only will it not work, you'll just get fat and unhealthy.

You probably will still grow a little bit, but at your height/weight, you are in pretty good shape. Most females don't reach their adult height until they are 18. I was 5'3" as a freshman in high school and I was 5'10" when I graduated.

How tall are your parents?  That is a indicator of your height if they are both tall or if they are both short.  Do you have siblings or Cousins?  At what age did they shoot up in height?  When I was 14, I was 5'7".  Most of my classmates were up to a year or more older than I.  I was tied for tallest girl in the class and there was only 1 boy who was taller than us.  Most of them were a whole lot shorter than me.  I thought I would never find someone that would be tall enough for me.  Guess what, the boys grew up(at least in height).  Do you know what else?  The Girls Grew up?\n\nSo if most of the girls were not at their full height at 14/15 and then they grew taller.  Who knows at this point how tall you will be.  \n\nDon't smoke - it stunts your health.\n\nDevelop a tall personality.  By being kind and thinking of others, people will Look Up to You regardless of your height.\n\nMake friends with some Taller kids so that you have a protection when you need it. (I'm Kidding, but a little serious)\n\nStand up straight with your shoulders back and down.  Keep your head over your shoulders.  If you carry a heavy backpack watch for leaning forward to compensate the weight.  This could make you look shorter and feel shorter and it is bad for your back.  Why have all of that weight holding you down.  If you can get a backpack that rolls so you won't be putting all of that downward pressure on your spine.  \n\nSmile and enjoy your life.  Whether you grow taller or not.  A tall person hanging their head in shame does not look tall.  A shorter person with a Clear Conscience can have a Twinkle in their Eyes and a Smile on their Face.  Be the best 4'11" Girl you can be this year.\nNext year maybe your arms and legs will be inches longer and you'll have to adjust to walking again.\n\nStand Tall,  God Bless You,  ;-)\n\nPs: I am still 5'7"  I was just finished early.

I had a HUGE crush on a boy who later ended up going out with a 5"10 girl. I was a little bit jealous, since I was only 5"2. I'd say that being tall is a definite advantage, since your legs are longer and you're much sexier than shorter girls. I wear heels every day in order to look taller. BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE!

5 feet four inches is actually a very average height for a woman.  You may just have a lot of tall friends, or it may be the fact that you are thirteen and at a very selfconscious age.  I bet a lot of your tall friends feel like oversized amazons and envy their more petite friends like you.\n\nAnyway, enough with the psychology.  You probably have at least a few more inches waiting for you at some point in the next 6-7 years.  Try and keep yourself at a healthy weight (not too thin... malnourishment will keep you from reaching your maximum height), and eat a nutritious diet.  Skim milk is just fine, in terms of its calcium.

I think your chances are pretty high of being 6'4 beacuse I'm 15 and only 5'6, which is normal, and your 13 being 5'11 you'll be 6'4.

Hi! My brother was 6'2, and wore a size 15 shoe at your age. Most kid's were so intimidated by his size that no one picked on him (even though he played violin). \n I am sure you are a kind person and wouldn't use your size to bully anyone. Keep in mind, your classmates will be catching up with you very soon! \n Hang in there. Bet the other guys at school are worried about being short the rest of their lives! Six feet is average height for a man, so you won't have their problem :)

All 11 yr olds are different. My little sister is 13 and is 5'9. There's nothing worng with being tall. Just enjoy life & don't worry about it.

My husband was only 5'9" tall when he was a senior in high school, his JUNIOR year of college he grew FIVE inches, so you just never know!!!!\n\nGood luck to you!

Wow, this guy sounds scary. I'd, um, look for another psychologist. \n\nThe average height of an American man is 5'9". Three inches shorter is no big deal, don't sweat it. \n\nOr, if you want to be "pretty," go for it. Just not with this weirdo.

I was very short till I hit high school. Then I had a major growth spurt. My folks are under 5'7" and I'm over 6 foot. So there's plenty of time left.

What are you talking about? You're 5'9 and you are only 14. There's nothing you can do, you grow naturally, you can't control that. I'm 18 and 6"1 (if there was a way I'd know).  Man you''ve got a lot of growing left ( Men don't stop growing until 21, women 18).  Since you're already so tall, in a couple of years you may be 6"7 and up range.

If you eat healthy and stay active that is great!  I am about 5'8 and I look pretty good at that weight!  Don't compare your weight to your shorter friends bc us tall girls weight more anyway.  Remember to feel good about yourself and be healthy and you will be beautiful.
