I'm way too TALL for my age!?

Question

I'm only 11 & i'm taller than my mum. I'm 5.5 ft. I don't want to grow any taller but i always do!

Answer 1

be appreciative of it. i know someone who's like 16 but gets mistaken for 10/11 and besides being tall's actually a good thing

Answer 2

You're not that tall.... I was 5'11 when I was 13 (and I'm female) If you stop growing now, all your mates will overtake you in a few years, then you'll be a shortie :P

Answer 3

Taller is better

Answer 4

Are you a chick or a dude?

Answer 5

yes you are too tall for your age i don't know what the average height is for a 11 year old but i would say the average height for a boy your age is 4ft 11in and your 5ft 5in your that means your 6 inches taller than then you should be at your age you must have hit puberty early if your that tall for your age

Answer 6

Its impossible to stop body growth like that wihout harming your body in other ways. I don't quite understand why you wouldn't want to be tall, though. If you're a guy, the last thing you want is to be short.

Answer 7

You can't stop yourself from growing, It's just natural.

Answer 8

1. You're only 11.

2. Everyone else will catch up soon, trust me.

3. What are you supposed to do about it? You can't do anything about your genetics. You can't make yourself stop growing or "grow shorter".

Answer 9

You're actually a good height for your age..

I stood beside this chart and I am 5'2" and it said I was an 11 year old..so basically your a good height, my friend, she is my age, 15 and is past 6 foot.

I wouldn't worry.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Are you a male or a female if you dont mind me asking ?

Answer 12

you should be glad....for im short and i hate it....at least you have the possibility of becoming a runway model,,,

Answer 13

dude for a guy ur fine. most guys wish they grew like you. do some light exercise so that you dont become the skinny lanky type, but ur fine

Answer 14

Soon you will probably stop growing dont worry. at least you could be good to have on a basket ball team!

Answer 15

Go get a hack saw and saw your feet off right about at the little stickedy out nub thing on the side of your ankle.

That should shorten you up about 4 inches.....and by the time your feet grow back....your classmates (at least most of them) should be right about that height.

Problem solved!!!

(be careful though....not having feet may throw your balance off a bit)

Answer 16

Answer 17
