Q&A for How to Determine if You Are a Tall Girl

Height is hereditary, so if there are tall people in your family tree, you have a better chance of being tall. You can still be growing up until your late teens or early twenties. It would be hard to predict your full adult height at age 12.

It doesn't matter whether people like you or not because of your height. If someone judges you or doesn't want to go out with you because you're tall, that's their loss. There is no such thing as "normal" when it comes to appearance. The way you look is just fine. Supermodels are really tall! Since you can't change your height, all you can really do is try to embrace it. Be yourself and surround yourself with people that love you and support you.

People will always comment on something. If not your height, it'd be your hair or eye color, or body structure, etc. So, expect the comments. Develop humorous responses! Yes, humor. "Dad says I got tall to save him from having to change light bulbs. But mom says a witch cast a giraffe spell on me. See my long neck? (as you brush your hair back) Too bad I didn't get the giraffe's long eyelashes!" Practice saying it in front of a mirror before trying it out. Don't forget to smile and laugh... after all, it's poking fun at yourself in a cute way.

Yes, just as it is a blessing to be any size and alive and healthy. Being tall has advantages such as the ability to wear almost any style of clothing and look good, being able to see over a crowd, and being able to stand out (if that's what you want). Always try to look for the good in the lot you've drawn in life, it's better to find a bright side and make the most of who you are.

Your height doesn't determine your weight. Eat healthily and in small portions most of the time, exercise frequently, avoid sitting around too much and keep active as much as you can, and you will maintain a healthy body weight that is right for you. There is no inevitability that you will become fat, just as being tall is not a reason to ignore healthy living advice.
