I think im too small!!!?

Question

im 14 and im about to start year 10 at school but im only a metre and a half tall! some of the kids that are just gonna start year 7 are taller than me! my mum is only 5 foot 1 and a half but my dad is like 6 foot something. i take after my mum and im almost as tall as her. have i stopped growing or will i grow taller than her?

Answer 1

Don't worry about it.

P.S. ignore Leonard M, he's a complete weirdo!

Answer 2

You're still growing so don't worry about it because I'm 23 and I've grown a lot since I was 14 and most people stop growing when they're in their mid 20s.

Answer 3

you dont properly stop growing until you reach 18 or a bit after so i think even though your mum is only small, the fact your dad is 6 foot something makes me think that you wont be as small as your mum and that you should grow a bit taller still. i wouldnt worry about it, ive just left year 11 and one of my friends is only 5 foot 1 but she wears high heels to make her a bit taller (the school dont like it but she doesnt listen to them lol). being small isnt a bad thing, just because you are smaller than a lot of the new year 7 kids it doesnt mean you should hate your height! you sound really insecure about being small but even if you dont grow much in the next few years im sure you will get used to being small and realise that its all part of who you are! sounds a really typical thing to say but once you learn to love your height, other peoples opinions wont matter to you. i had exactly the opposite problem in that ive always been one of the tallest in my class and i was already as tall as a lot of my teachers in year 8! but now im 5 ft 7 and pretty much average height compared to my friends its just that i had a growth spurt early, and you might just have one later on than most people! its really nothing unusual, i hope this helped!

Answer 5

Answer 7

I am 5'2" and my younger sisters are taller.  I was angry and just accepted it.  My friends and family know better than to call me cute.

Answer 8

yes you will grow ! dont worry about it, it is not nice for a woman to be tall. it is even sexier when having high heels hehe ;)

Answer 9

I'm 16 and I am 5ft 7". I am the smallest out of ALL my mates and I felt ridiculous. Untill I found something out, my uncles and my dad both had HUGE growth spurts when they were 17 and now they are both 6ft +

Your probally the same to be honest.

but also, guys don't want a tall girl, they like the small girls. Especially me, I've always gone out with the smaller girls in my classes.

Good luck with your GCSE's, hope you don't do what I did, ruin my chance of doing my dream job!

Answer 10

You'll probably still grow a bit, especially since you're dad is so tall and because you're only 14.  I would expect that you'll eventually be a bit taller than your mom.

And don't listen to "Leonard".  That's just spam and they're just trying to sell a book.  Hopefully, he'll get reported, as your question has nothing to do with his answer.

Answer 13

You'll probably grow a little more, but don't worry about it- tha't cute and a lot of guys actually like that.

Answer 14

Rachel Stevens and Kylie and both small ladies and no one cares. I wouldn't worry about it, sometimes small is better : )

Just be proud of who you are and sod everyone else. Your personality will make up for your height 10 times over.

Answer 15

Don't worry, you're not too short. I've stopped growing now and I'm about 1m60, give or take a centimetre or two. You still have a couple of years of growing left. And even if you don't grow to be tall or even average height, as my mum always says, good things come in small packages :)

Answer 16

you will grow most girls grow taller than their mothers if your dad is that tall chances are you have a few years left to grow taller. im going to year 11 and at the beginning of year 10 I was 5 ft 4 now i am 5 ft6.5 i cant believe i grew a whole 2 inches and a half. Guys like smaller girls anyway :)
