I'm 12 years old and I'm 5,7 ! Isn't that tall? I just don't like being huge for my age like what all people says to me! Do they have any way to become smaller or stop growing...
And most people would won't to be tall, but I don't!
Me and my mom are going to the doctor to ask questions... I hope they have something good...
My mom 44 years old is only 5,4 and my dad is 42 years old is only 5,11. My brother that is 15 is 5,9...

Help me please...
I start lifting weights and drinking stuffs that include Cafeine... Like Ice Cappucino and Cappucino!

Well just who cares? lol. You being tall doesn't mean a damn. Your friends? If they were your real friends they wouldn't care? Growing is a part of life and you can't change that. If girls break up with you for that reason, then they are just plain idiots. Besides girls are kind of stupid around 12.

And I just noticed you can't be on this site lol.


But whatever reason you don't want to grow. Dark Coffee is your solution. And drink a big glass everyday. But please consider what I told you. Growing isn't a big deal.

I'm like 100% sure ill be taller then my dad. My brother is like at the eyes or eye brows of my dad. And he's size is normal. Me I'm Tall compared to all the people in high-school.
By the way, my mom is from the Philippines and my dad is from Iran. Filipino's are usually small and I realized I growed so much, before, this guy in my team was 11 and 6,1 , and now he didnt grow but I did. We are a little bit close to each other. I'm like at his mouth or nose.

I think you just hit an abnormally fast growth spurt. That' s fine. You might not grow to much over the next few years. Also, don't worry about girl friends not liking how tall you are. If they really liked you, they wouldn't care how tall you are but instead would only care about who you are as a person. Your ex-girlfriend wasn't a very good girl friend from the sounds of it. Plus, its really only a problem in high school, the time when you should start to get a girl friend.

@ the OP

There's not really any way to stop growing, as long as you're not doing steroids or anything. Just put up with it, and in the end you'll probably be happy with your height. 5'7 isn't incredibly tall for 12 anyway, just a bit taller than normal.

That's actually normally tall rather than abnormally tall. If youre that worried visit your g.p you might have an hormone imbalance but on the good side most girls like tall guys
