Is there anything that can make me shorter or stop growing?

I can’t think of anything that will stop you from growing but there are certain clothing items that will make you look shorter just like black makes you look thinner.

i heard coffee stunts your growth but i dont know if it is true

if you drink to much coffee

er, why would you want to?

and 5ft 1 is still considered ‘petit’ … ask your sister how much she likes being 4ft11

The only way to stop yourself growing is to introduce certain hormones under medical supervision but no doctor in their right mind would interfere with your height. You’re only thirteen and it’s normal to feel self-concious about your body. Your body is currently developing and won’t settle down until you’re 21. When I was 13 I was also the tallest girl in my class and was a little stubby around the middle. After two years my body had lengthened proportionately and everything was even. Everyone will catch up with you soon so don’t worry. Just because you started earlier doesn’t mean that you will always be the tallest. Boys tend to develop later than women. I honestly consider 5’4 as short. I’m 5’8 and have never had trouble finding boyfriends the same height or taller. Don’t want to be judged on your body as a female? Welcome to the world. Every woman has the same problem whether its positive attention or negative. Just ignore anyone criticising you. I bet a million dollars the reason girls tease you is because they are jealous and the reason boys tease you is because they think you’re hot. It makes no sense but look it up on the internet. It’s true. Try and stop being so self absorbed because worrying and fussing over something you can’t change will only make you ill. It would be worse if you were not able to develop and were the last to get periods and breasts.

Coffee doesn’t stunt your growth. There have been test ran that find no link between shortness and caffeine. Hell I have drank coffee since I was like 3 (it was really watered down then) and I’m 6ft 4”, dad & brother both had coffee sine an early age and they are 6’2” and 6’4”. Its all about genetics.

why wouldn’t you want to grow taller? heck i’ve been 5’2” since i was about your age…i did; however, grow an inch but thats still not much..so im still only 5’3” and 21 and i HATE it..i so wish i could grow to AT LEAST 5’6” lol..and i did drink coffee at your age..but so did my brother (he drank more than me) and hes like 6’ something..so coffee doesn’t really have effect…just in your genes…

well, its not ALL geneticcs - environment plays a role too. But I would say you’re right that coffee doesnt!

Well true if you have a severe lacking of nutrition it can stunt your growth. I’m sure other negative environmental factors might reduce growth.

I agree with Mersara, I’m 22 and 5’1 and I hate being short! But I guess everyones different.

I agree, I’m in the same boat.

she hates it.. but i really wanna be short!! like i love standing next to tall ppl !
