I am 13 and i can't stand my body, my legs are to short. I am the shortest one in my grade, only 5 foot and i don't no what to do, my family doesn't exactly have the money to give me a shot that will help my growth and they say that i am normal height but i had my period over 2 years ago and i'm not supposed to grow anymore. Is there anything i can do that will make me a normal height?

you should be glad you're short!! it's a great thing to be - it makes you feel petite! also, im 13 and am only 4'10. i know a girl who's 15 and 4'6. no lie. so don't sweat it - it's not even that bad.
wear short shorts. they make your legs look longer. bermuda shorts: NO-NO. they'll make you look at least a half a foot shorter.
eclair answered Saturday May 12 2007, 10:12 pm: Hey, don't worry about it. Really. You are only 13 and have plenty of time to grow - and even if you only grow a couple of inches, you can still be gorgeous! Think of all the beautiful actresses and singers that are only just over 5 foot - Eva Longoria, Alyssa Milano, Christina Aguilera, Shakira (she's actually under 5 foot!) Bo Derek (commonly considered to have one of the best bodies in the business, and only 5'3")... the list could go on and on.
You might feel awkward about things now because you are at an age where everyone feels a little awkward and insecure about their looks, no matter what they look like - but truly, don't worry. I know loads of guys who really go for petite girls, and as long as you keep in shape to ensure you're well proportioned your height shouldn't be a negative factor at all!

thelaura answered Saturday May 12 2007, 10:07 pm: Don't worry. Just because you've had your period doesn't mean you wont grow any more. You have at LEAST 5 years worth to do. and at 13, I'd say you're pretty average height.
Don't let anyone put you down. You may not like your body right now, but I can guarantee your body is going to change and become more shapely and you will most probably grow throughout the years.
Just don't forget in the mean time t eat healthily and get your sleep. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
