Well the truth is, its all in your genes. You cannot stop your growth or help to get taller, you could only have to deal with it. But on the other hand, you need to calm down, 5'7 and at 12 years old is not bad at all. Yes, you are tall for your age, but it dose not mean your going to be tall when you hit 16. I remember there was this girl in my class when I was 12 years old and she was very tall, around 5'7 like you, but when we were 16 and I seen her again I was 6'2 , and she was 5'11. I was amazed to how short she was from me. Its all in your genes, your not going to worry about this in a couple of years. If anything being tall is a gift, consider your self an athlete or a super-model.

AND DO NOT WHAT EVER YOU DO START DRINKING CAFFEINE, EXTREAMLY BAD FOR A 12 YEAR OLD TO DO, AND IT ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, DOSE NOT STUNT YOUR GROWTH!!!

100% THERE IS NO WAY YOU COULD STUNT YOUR GROWTH, ITS ALL DECIDED B4 YOU ARE EVEN BORN, DONT DAMAGE YOU BODY FROM WRONG INFORMATION.

Such is your genes kid, deal with it. You'll have worse problems in life to worry about.

You cannot stop this. Accept it.

wow.. i can't understand on why you hate being tall.
im a small guy dreaming to be as tall as you.

you can't. it's not possible. all i can think of is dong things that "supposedly" stunt your growth, like cigarettes, but don't because that's a terrible idea! i'm sorry ur not comfortable w/ur height. most people don't like at least one thing about their body. i have short legs which makes me really cranky because i feel out of proportion. sometimes all you can do is suck it up. and dont wear heels? :-(

I don't know why a person would want to get shorter, thats just ridiculous, i always wished i was a bit taller, but if you want to stop growing, cut the calcium, less milk, less cheese (although not recomended by the USDA, as it lowers bone density later in life.) Otherwise I can recommend taking classes where it involves strecthing, such as yoga, some people believe this does stop height growth for a bit.

you cant

well i hate to break it to you but you cannot control your height...it is something determined before you are even born.


BUT...
people say there are things that can "stunt" your growth...
caffeine is a really common one. if you really want to stop growing caffeine could be the solution.


Also realize that being you are a girl (right?) it means you are almost done growing...as in from now till the end of high school expect approximately another inch.

But no matter what you do you will grow a little more but i good way to deal with it is to embrace your tallness...dont be afraid of it, tallness can be a beautiful thing. Probably my most attractive friends are 5'8" and wear three inch heels...look into modeling.


Best of Luck

Methods of Height Restriction

There are three principal methods of restricting the final height a child might achieve, and all of them depend on the treatment being started at or before puberty. Two of these methods are pharmaceutical, one is mechanical. There are recorded cases in which drug treatments were begun too late, resulting in the child becoming even taller than it would have done had it been left untreated.

1) you can't stop your self from getting taller 2) if you could you would probbly regret it latter 3) you might stop at 5'8 so not much more to worry about. 4) might as well learn to love being tall as you might grow several more inches.
