Answer 1

I'm 14 and im 5'3 haha. Yeah your pretty tall. :P

Answer 2

You are quite tall for your age and I think you should stick with basketball; being tall is a good advantage !

Answer 3

For that age, you are tall. Look around you. Are you taller than your classmates of the same age? That's your best clue...but don't get used to it!!

When I was 11, I was 5'8". I was a whole head taller than everyone else in my class. I looked down on them all and they dubbed me "Lurch" (Google "Addams Family Lurch"). My voice even changed earlier than everyone else. When they called for Lurch, I would answer "You rang?" in my new deep voice. ;-)

I started shaving at 14!

Guess what! Now I'm well over 21 and I'm 5' 9" now!! Just about average! So much for a basketball career! ;-)  I got there just like everyone else, I just got there sooner.

You should go for whatever sport you like. If you like basketball, stick with it. If you like soccer and tennis and basketball, do all 3. Unless you plan to be a pro, why limit yourself? But...just because you are taller now, don't count on it staying that way.

You will slow down in growing naturally. Some people just spurt faster. Some don't spurt at all. In the long run, chances are that you will average out. If people tease you, don't get mad. Just smile and use it to your benefit. Play along. If it makes you mad, they will do it more! Trust me...I've been there!

Answer 4

thats kinda tall for a male but its not freakishly tall......

and i think you should stick with basketball, for a tall tennis player to move around fast it would be difficult.

and i dont have an answer for that last one. lol so there ya go =]

Answer 5

Your Actually Quite Tall.

Im 14 And My Height Is 5'8 Ft.

Basketball, You Would Have An Advantage Becasue Of Your Height.

And You Are Tall Because You Eat Alot Of Proteins.

Decrese The Protein You Eat.

That Should Slow It Down.
