r/TallTeenagers

So basically I’m (somewhat) of a genetic anomaly, about 170 cm tall with 21.4 cm long and 27 cm hand span and size 11 feet, my mom’s 158 cm and dad 174. Grandmother (maternal) is somehow 182cm and her son (mum half brother) 208cm. Anybody else like this?

my whole life ive been the tallest person since kindergarten children asking me why i'm so tall even when i was born as a baby the doctor literally said 'madre mia your daughter has long legs' i still get told that im tall but now much more less since ive seen people who are bigger than me especially online n because of that i have a bit doubt and wonder am i tall ?

I just turned 15 and recently my hair growth has been skyrocketing like armpit hair grew facial hair on the upper lip appeared and slight chin hair. My adams apple also started getting way more prominent. My growth has been decelerating and i only grew about 15 cm in the 3 years of middle school 5'8 right now, and i dont think i had a rowth spurt yet, so could i be getting one soon or is it over for me just asking.

Hi, I checked with the mods before posting this.

I’m a tall girl myself, and I wear a UK 11, around a US women’s 13. This is something I’ve struggled with for years, and honestly it feels like the problem has only got worse as I’ve got older and my foot size has grown.

For me, it’s especially hard to find feminine shoes that actually fit for things like prom, graduation, holidays, parties and other occasions. The hardest types to find are usually ballet flats, loafers, sandals and heels. Sometimes it’s not just about finding my size, it’s that once you get into bigger sizes the options can feel really limited, not that cute or just really expensive. Places like Long Tall Sally do have larger sizes, but a lot of the styles aren’t really my taste.

I also know quite a few girls and women who wear a UK size 8 and above, around a US women’s 10 and up, who seem to have the same issue, so I wanted to ask if anyone else here feels the same.

Where do you actually buy your shoes from? What kinds of shoes do you struggle to find most? Do you usually end up compromising on style, comfort, price or fit? And do occasions like prom, graduation, holidays or parties make the problem worse?

Would really love to hear other people’s experiences.

I’m 14 5’7 and very active, going out for runs and playing basketball a lot of the time. Suddenly, other the span of one month i gained 4 kgs even tho I had no change in my already healthy diet. is this a sign of an upcoming growth spurt? (I’ve been growing 3 inches every year since I was 11 and haven’t slowed down if that helps)
sadly my parents are on the shorter side (5’7 dad 5’2 mom) and also my brother is 15 with his growth plates closing at 5’7 if that helps. my uncles are grandfathers and cousins are tall tho, 5’10+

regarding rule 6 I’m not asking abt my final height I’m just asking if gaining weight is a sign of a growth spurt or if im just fat

Being a 6’2 girl (teenager) myself I’ve always wondered how much this detail I can’t change compares to something like personality to men. I find myself always becoming close with guys platonically, but never being able to develop a romantic relationship or anything close to it. When/will any guy ever even consider a relationship?

I think im tall for my age, considering im the tallest in my class now, 6 months into puberty, ask me anything
