Super short, please help.

Question

Im super short in 13 and im only 4'8" or 4'9" everyone else is 5'5" almost. what should i do? and also, is 90 pounds okay?

Answer 1

i have a really good friend (well actually two. haha.) they're both about your height. almost 14. haha, um, i'm not sure about your weight...

but yea, don't let being short bother you!

Answer 2

When I was 13, I was probably 4'9" too. I was pretty small. 90 pounds is fine for that height.

I'm 19 and I'm still only 5'3". Funny how most 13 year olds are taller than me, haha.

Answer 3

Hey don't worry, I'm 13 as well and one of my friends and my boyfriend are a little shorter than you. You still have a chance to grow.  

Answer 4

thats fine...

theres nothin wrong with u everyone grows at there own time.

I've always been short I'm 5'2 full grown, uur still young so theres still plenty of time for u to grow, and even if u do wind up being short that's good too being short is cute and feminine.

Answer 5

you will grow eventually, at your age people develop and grow at different times, so you may have  growth spurt and be taller than others when you least expect it.

Answer 6

i was 13 , 4'8 and 90 lbs to . now im 17 5'9' and 140 hahaha you'll grow ;  trustttt me.  

Answer 7

You should eat foods rich in protein and calcium. That will help you grow. Most of it is in the genetics though, so you can't really do THAT much to make yourself grow. You're still young, sooner or later you'll have a growth spurt. You'll have them on and off all through out your teen years.

It isn't unusual to be this height at your age. You probably just haven't fully started puberty. When you do grow though, don't expect to be 6'. You're probably going to be quite short. Are your parents short? It's highly likely you'll end up somewhere in between them.

Answer 8

nothing is wrong with being short

maybe you just have not struck puberty yet  

Answer 9

I'm 13 and I'm about 5 ft.And in my class there are some guys/girls shorter than me.You'll probably get tall later.And yeah, I think 90 pounds is fine.

Answer 10

Two words: High Heels =D

Don't worry, I'm also 13 years old and I'm 5'1", I haven't gotten my period yet, but I'm still a shorty.

You'll probably grow another two or three inches, which means you'll be 5', which really isn't bad. With heels you'll be 5'4", that's a little bit above the average height.

Then there's this guy I know who's 14 years old and has hit puberty already and is 4'5", so things could be worse!

90lbs is a perfect weight for 4'9"! When I was 4'9" I weighed 70lbs but I was a premature twin so I've always been little. I would've killed to be 90lbs at 4'9" (well not really kill... but you get the idea) because that is the weight my doctor wanted me to get to (I am now 95lbs, yay!)

Vertical lines and dark colors also make you look taller and leaner, then a mature face is the key to looking older if you are afraid people will think that you are 8 years old.

Keep the make up natural: Mascara, Eyeliner, Bronzer, Concealer (only if you have acne).

Plus, guys like short girls :)

If you ever wanna talk a/b anything I'll offer advice. Add me ;; my email is on my profile too.
