Don't worry about it. You still have a lot of time to grow. If it makes you feel any better, I'm sixteen and I'm a little bit over five feet. My friend is a year older than me, and she's your height. It runs in my family, though, and we usually grow at the last second.
I've seen a lot of people who were short, and then they just shot right up. Just give it some time. ^^ But remember that no matter how you turn out, you should be happy with who you are. We're all unique.
You're 13....13!!! Try being a 22 year old mother who is 4"11, who is ID'd everywhere for cigs, beer and to get into clubs XD
You have years of growing time ahead of you! Don't worry about it! When you get to my age and you realise you're shrinking, that's when you start panicking XD
^@trainofdoom - LOOOL don't worry about it, i've had my share of bullying aobut my height, so i don;t care anymore, even though i know you didn't mean it maliciously :P @Goofie- tis K XD
you may be just slightly under average, but its fine because you're only 12. I wasn't much taller than that at 12.
People will literally looks for anything to take the shiz out of people for. People once had a dig at me because my friend's neighbour's son was an ice cream truck guy.. I mean wtf xD
People will take the shiz for anything and everything, however far-fetched, so get used to that hun.
As for your height, you'll grow soon. I was only 5 foot at 12.
..and just a note; small people tend to live slightly longer than large people because their heart isnt under as much strain.

oh haha okk thankkss! that really made me feel alot better! and your friends neighbors son! lmfaooo i would just be likee omg! can you get me free icecream loll
No, don't worry about it. I was shorter than that when I was your age and am 16 and a little over five feet. It's all based on genetics, someone's height. There's nothing wrong with someone who is too tall or too short because that's how they grow and there's nothing that can stop that. :)
Idk, I'm gonna be 13 soon too and I'm the same height! My sister always makes fun of me for it since she was almost a foot taller than me when she was my age...
Kinda. At 13 I was like 5'7, and now I'm like 5'10 ish. I think.... but lately whenever I measure myself I'm like 5'8 Dx
I think I'm shrinking!
But don't worry, the average height for a full grown American female is only like 5'4. I'm freakishly tall ._.
Don't fret about it. You'll have time to grow yet, and even if you don't grow, it's alright. As long as you embrace and accept yourself for who you are physically and mentally, other people will, too.
And if it helps you any, I think that really short girls are really pretty in a delicate sort if way, and I know I'm not the only person in the world who thinks that.
I was 4'8" when I was thirteen, and now I'm 6'3". Short or not, you'll grow.
Don't drink coffee, though. It stunts your growth. You can ask my shrimp of a sister about that.
Just be happy with the way you are. You have lot's of time to grow. I remember when my middle son got his driver's license and waitresses used to ask if he wanted a kiddie meal. It really frustrated him. Then one summer he had a growth spirt and went out for football. I was so happy because he was to tall to steal my tennis shoes anymore. :)
