LexybelNLisa answered Friday January 7 2005, 6:41 pm: I dont think you should worry about it at all, but you can always wear high heels!!! And also, depending on your age you will probably grow some more, and catch up a little bit [ LexybelNLisa's advice column | Ask LexybelNLisa A Question ]
MummuM answered Friday January 7 2005, 6:38 pm: I'm a shorty too. I'm only 5''3, but it's totally great. I was like you also. I grew up before all the rest of my friends and were taller then them all. Now, their all much taller then me. I just wear highheals, or shoes with a couple of inchs on them.

rainbowcherrie answered Friday January 7 2005, 10:53 am: Look, I'm only 4'9 and I'm thirteen. Every single one of my friends are taller than me and people are always telling me how short I am. There is no way you can make yourself grow taller other than waiting. When you're growing, you grow at different rates, soon you will probably have a growth spurt and catch up with everyone else. Don't worry, I kind of like being short. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]

Pink_Flamingo answered Thursday January 6 2005, 11:35 pm: Well your genes pretty much determine you height, you cant change that. Just make sure you get enough calcium and vitamins so your bones can grow. Maybe you just havent had your big growth spurt yet. [ Pink_Flamingo's advice column | Ask Pink_Flamingo A Question ]
kristen22 answered Thursday January 6 2005, 11:14 pm: I definately know where your coming from. I'm 22 years old, standing at 5"1...lol There is nothing you can do to grow taller. My advice to you....embrace it! dont be ashamed of it. [ kristen22's advice column | Ask kristen22 A Question ]
JazzY answered Thursday January 6 2005, 10:18 pm: There is no possible way to change your height except for wearing tall shoes, or drinking tons of milk, lol. Milk does help you grow.
Being short is not bad at all, I mean, I've got friends who are like 4"11 and I just reached 5"!
The best advice I can give to you is drink lotsa milk and be happy with yourself. And I'm sure you've got tons more growing to do...so don't worry about it! My old math teacher used to be five ft! You're lucky...being short does have its advantages...:)

aNgeLxfOrEvEr answered Thursday January 6 2005, 8:59 pm: Hey--don't worry about your height. I'm short too! Being short is awesome. It has its advantages and also its disadvantages. But so does being tall! As Angel411 said, stay away from too much coffee. Coffee stunts your growth, which means it can stop you from growing anymore. Personally, I love being short..just think of it this way (if you are a girl)---you'll most likely never be taller than your boyfriend! That's a plus. Well, there's not much more you can do. But just hang out with your friends. Try not to pay attention to you and your friends' heights and just have FUN ♥ [ aNgeLxfOrEvEr's advice column | Ask aNgeLxfOrEvEr A Question ]
curbsideprophet answered Thursday January 6 2005, 8:57 pm: well in my opinion you should embrace it. honestly, you wont have to weed out tall guys. haha but in all seriousness, i agree with the other columnists, you can wear stilettoes and not look like a giant. you have a whole selection of marvelous footwear at your disposal. i've gotten accustomed to birkenstocks and sandals because well... heels make me look... just disproportionately tall. plus in case you haven't noticed, clothing in the petite section is wayyy cuter. so again, embrace it. you have wayyy more selections at your disposal when it comes to clothes and footwear. .:.curbside prophet.:.

angel411 answered Thursday January 6 2005, 8:39 pm: Hey there. 5'1" is not Too short butI understand your concern. Unfortunatly there is not much you can do. If you drink coffee, that can stunt your growth so stay away from that, and also stretch and drink milk for strong bones :). You can wear those cute black sandals that have at least 1 inch if not 2 of heel. I have always thought they looked sooo adorable on girls but I'm too tall to wear them. We have opposite problems. Hehe. Also wear black tshirts to make you look slimmer and elongate your torso. Embrace your tininess... its cute! ♥ [ angel411's advice column | Ask angel411 A Question ]
