    Self esteem issues
    When I was in elementary, I felt pretty tall, but know I just feel shorter than all the other kids, and this girl keeps bragging about how she's 2 inches taller than me.I'm 5' 2", but I feel so short , and me feet are growing way too fast, over the summer I grew two sizes. Why do I feel so short, and why are my feet growing so fast?

    You're two inches taller than I am. Now I feel short. :(

    You're still growing (and I'm not), and good things come in small packages.

    (If your feet are growing, that means your height will catch up so you don't look and walk like Bozo the Clown when you are 20.)

    It's not just that, most kids in my grade look like seventh graders, but you're right it's not like my feet are going to grow ahead of the rest of my body

    Boys love short girls. It makes them feel protective. Tall girls hate short girls because they seem to attract all the guys, and the tall girls feel all gangly with knees and elbows.

    Just what I said.

    My best friend in high school was nearly six feet tall. She HATED being tall. The guys wanted to date short girls.

    My beautiful niece who modeled for a while is six feet tall. She married a guy who is seven feet tall. Life is difficult for them. He has to actually bend down when walking through doorways.

    Short is good.

    You're right, short is good I'd hate to get cramps from bending.

    I'm guessing you'll make it to at least 5'4" or 5'5". Check out your mom, grandmother, and aunts on both sides. Do you take after any of them with looks? And maybe ask how tall they were at your age.
