MelLeDisko answered Sunday September 24 2006, 3:16 pm: It is somewhat tall for a girl your age ( at least in my school ). I'm 15 and I am only 5'4". But it seems there's other people out there that share the same height as you and are the same age, so you're not alone. Plus, you're only 13 just like your peers, so the body stops developing and growing around 18, so alot of people could catch up with you sooner or later, and you won't seem so tall. You may continue to grow ; this may be it, but it's not for your friends. Trust me, they'll continue to grow over the years. You can't tell how tall you're going to be by one person in your family. You may not get their genetics, especially your cousin. Maybe your mother or father, of course. But usually cousins don't share the same genetics. I hope I helped.

being tall is a good thing.
5'8 is def. not too tall [=
