You are short, just not so short for your age. If you don't grow any more you will be short by the time you're 21. I was always the tall one... Now I don't really know many people shorter than me. Except for my grandma who's about 4ft 6 haha :')

Just because your tall now could just mean that you had your growth spurt before anyone else so that could be all you're growing

Coffee doesn't stunt your growth. http://www.peoplespharmacy.com/2008/01/25/does-caffeine-s/ read this. There are plenty of studies. I am 5'6" and that's the height I want to be. 5'4" is actually the average height of women in America(god I have way to many random facts floating in my head, I scare myself sometimes)

I'm 5'11 and embrace every bit of it. What exactly is 'awkward' about being tall? I guess I'm not understanding.

You're only 13. But trust me 5'4" is a good height. The boys may be short now but once high school hits you'll be breaking out the heels for em. Plus people all grow at different rates. Others will catch up to ya soon. I'm 16 and 5'9" that's what's tall. But I love it. Sept for heels. Can't get em too tall. You're a good height for heels cuz you could go as tall as ya want with em or stick with flats and still look hot! But I know where you're comin from. I was your height in sixth grade and that was really awkward. But as time went by I grew to love my height. Heights a gift. Own it like you're the only one that can make it hot!

5'2" here and still trying to embrace that. Was fun being short when I was younger- now not so fun, harder to take/keep weight off. Hard to drag a step stool around house with me so I can reach stuff. Mostly though it's hard to get and stay slim because limbs are shorter each lb has less length so width builds up quickly.

Also you loose "presence" points when working with people who all must literally look down on you. It's not impossible to compensate but the points are lost. Why do you want to be short so badly??

I'm short cause I've drinked too little milk :/ I don't like it, and also my bones are quite weak now. Just sayin! I think you can't stunt your growth.

Lots of girls would kill to be tall...I'm 5'4 and all of my girl friends are taller than me..and I'm 20 dont worry too much about it :)

Amantha- quality nutrition and good sleep you can still add some height till about 24!! My father gained a foot in the air force from 20-24yo.

Jee, milk is only one source of calcium and not even the best, just the most common. Take a calcium c/d bit supplement and get 8-9 hours of sleep daily, you can add more height till about mid 20's. Also get massages and do ballet stretches to lengthen so tight muscles don't pull on your bones.

I'm 5'9 and sure it may be "cute" to be short or whatever, but any height is beautiful.

Also having long legs is a good thing and both women and men find it attractive. You can't help how tall you are and if you think 5'4 is tall than you're crazy. I think for American women 5'8 is average and I'm 18 and 5'9 and don't feel too tall. Most of my friends are my height or taller, I'm one of the shortest!
