Hang around really short people?  Don't worry about it. It's something you can't change so accept it. Besides, if you are tall, everybody asks to to "reach that for me please".

The first and most important thing here is: don't worry.  You're going to end up being who you are--short or otherwise.  There's nothing you can do about it, so just try and accept it.\n\nNext, you may yet experience a "growth spurt", a period in your development when you can see your height increase substantially.\n\nI've heard many young women talk about how much they changed physically from their teen years.  It's a possibility for you too, I would guess.

You'll only 14, give your body some time to grow still. Even if you stay that short, think of the benefits, you don't have to find pants that are long enough. (I'm 5'10", and my legs are super long, i can never find pants that are long enough) But there are benefits to being short.

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.

from your avatar I assume you are a female. What you didnt say was how old you are.   If you are 12 or older consider your self done growing unless you grow sideways from eating to much. In other words you wont get any taller and your feet wont get any bigger either. Picture yourself like  the frame of a house that is built. The only thing now is to fill it in.  And from 12 to 14 is when this filling in takes place and the hips will shape and so on. \nBoys dont finish building thier frames until they are 16 and some not untill 18 and then they fill them in. No matter what size you are  be it large or small be happy with it because it is yours and noone else in the world can have it which makes it special and makes you special. Take care of it and it will take care of you.

at 16 1/2 i was 5'9'.  when i finished growing, at about age 20, i was 6'4".\ndon't worry!  if you're 16 1/2, you have PLENTY of time for your body to grow taller.  many men have a sudden growth spurt during the years 16-19.\nbest of luck!

To be sure you could go to a growth specialist, but my guess is that you will grow to be at least on the shorter end of average. Don't expect to be NBA tall, but also don't worry so much about your height, you are many years before your growth stops.

get shorter freinds, and wait until you grow... i didn't grow until it was 16 and a half.

Yes you will most likely have another growth spurt. Since the average man is 5'10 and about 175 i would say your on pace to be well above average. Many men who are above average tend to also tend to grow longer as well. It is not uncommon for men to continue growing into their early 20's. My coworkers son is having the opposite problem....he can't stop growing. He is now 11 and is 6'7 with size 17 shoes! There trying everythin to stop him from growing cause they say he hasn't even hit his natural growth spurt yet. They say he's looking at close to 8 feet if they can't get this under control. Your doing fine, eat well and exercise and you'll be very healthy.

Uh, what exactly do you plan to do if it isn't?\n\nMen can continue to grow through their early 20's, so if you're not 20 or 21 yet, you may eke out another few inches.  Either way, people will tend to perceive you the way you perceive yourself, so learn to accept (or better still, embrace) those qualities that make you YOU.

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.

Naani M, quit this!\n\nYou are 5ft tall, and that's it. That's how you were designed to be so that you can be the person that you are.\n\nOK -- if you really want to be a BIT taller, you can get a thing called an instep which goes into your shoe that raises you about 2-3 cm. Combined with that, you can have thick soles, with a thick heel hammered onto the bottom of your shoe. That will increase your height by another 3-4 cms. Just make sure that the instep and the thick sole are done for you after consultation with a podiatrist or an orthopedic surgeon because you can really hurt your muscles and jolt the bones in your feet if you get some cobbler-on-the-corner to make these for you.\n\nAlso, you can investigate getting a hairstyle that raises your coiffure: simply "teasing" the hair with a comb to puff up the hair helps. But then, I guess you are a south-east Asian, and it's very difficult to "fluff up" that beautiful, straight black hair your people have. \n\nNext -- be very careful of your diet. Always keep thin. There is NOTHING as short as a FAT guy. Keep ultra thin, and wear clothes (especially formal shirts with collars) that have stripes that go up and down. DON'T wear stripes or patterns that go from side to side! That makes you look shorter.\n\nBut what is this all going to do? It's going to make you LOOK taller, but that's not the point. You ARE short! So what the hell? Julius Caesar was short. Napoleon Buonaparte was short. But they ruled the world, man!\n\nSo can you!\n\nGet real, Naani. Stop this obsession with being tall! It's not worth it. For every person out there who calls you "Shorty" (or whatever they call short guys in your country) there are 10 who notice, but don't care. And another 10 don't even notice.\n\nSo ignore the ONE rude guy in your life, and rejoice with the other 20 that think you're great! \n\nPeople will love you, NOT because of how tall or how short you are, but because of WHO you are. Are you an honest person? Are you sincere? Can we trust you? Do you care about us? Are you a good lecturer? Do you treat your students with sincerity? Do you find something in EACH of them that makes you love them for who they are? Are you looking after their interests? Are you looking after your career? Are you trying to be the best qualified person in your field?\n\nStop bellyaching about how high your is a$$ is off the ground! Worry about how high you stand in the opinion of others! THAT'S what counts in life, babe.

Hey there,\n\nAll heights are acceptable, no matter what. I felt exactly the same way as you when I was younger. I am 19 and i'm 4'9 and my feet are really small and my figure frame is tiny as well. You should be happy with your body, its really fun to be short and a lot of advantages do come with it. And as for guys and dating, you will find a guy who will love you for who you are and he will love your height as well. Well when people are different, I guess a lot of people will be self conscious or stare when they are around different persons. It seems to happen all over the world. I guess its human nature for us to be self conscious about someone different around us until we get to know them.

Why are you in a hurry? You still growing. Each person grows differently. Before you know it, you'll be a couple inches taller.

Your a drop tall for age 13 if I recall. Your doctor has a list of heights that most people your age should be. However, height overall is by genes. 150 for 5'6 sounds around the weight you should be in. You should talk to a doctor more about this. Good luck and happy holidays

hey if you are below 15 years. and if you do some right workout. it is little possible to become tall. choose a good gym and take some workouts for best result(straight arm pull over, squat, lot workouts, chin-up, etc)... but if u r above 16 years. " There is no chance to make you tall".

All else being equal, you can't get any taller than your genes dictate.  I'm not tall,  5'9", and have always wished I could get at least to that magical 6 foot tall barrier.  You can make sure that you get to the tallest that your genes will allow by staying healthy, eating properly, getting plenty of rest, etc.\n\n"The height of the person is influenced by many factors, like good nutrition, onset and end of puberty and, most importantly, by the genetic predisposition. Most people by the time they are 19 have stopped growing and reached their final height. By that age growth epiphyses (the areas of the bones in your arms and legs that grow) have closed and the bone cannot get any longer. Unfortunately, once that happened, there is not much you can do to become taller.  \n\nIf you have seen advertisements for products that promise to make you taller, beware, there are no pills or devices that can increase your height.  Try to remember that height is only on aspect of who you are and that you have many qualities that you can control, like how you are as a friend, how hard you work and how you treat other people."
