I am wayyyyyyyyyy to tall for my age and I'm only in grade 6 but I'm the tallest in the SCHOOL not in my class in the WHOLE ENTIRE SCHOOL people tease because of this fact. How should I deal with this?

Ignore them or smile at them and even laugh anything but give them a bad reaction. Sometimes when people tease it is because they are jealous or they want to be friends but don't know how to go about approaching you. Sometimes because they want to get you to get mad.
So be the 'bigger' person and ignore it.

They will envy you in a few years. Already you can reach things they can't and wear styles of clothes they can't. Rejoice in your height! Laugh right along with them.

(If you think you are the only one teased for physical appearance, think again.)

No, there is no way to get them to stop -- EXCEPT if you start making jokes about yourself too, like "Yeah, I'm king kong and listen to me roar grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!" and "Yeah, I'm your local CN tower beep beep beep" (while spinning slowly around). When they can't make you mad or embarrassed, they will stop.

Just ignore them...
In 20 years time at your high school reuinion they will be their frumpy selves and you will be the tall, leggy one that everyone admires :)

Just be you... fear, jealousy, peer pressure causes people to do and say not nice things sometimes. Im sorry that you are having to deal with this, growing up can be hard enough as it is. The important thing for you to understand is if you know YOU are wonderful, beautiful, tall like a model (sometimes the things we hate the most about ourselves truly do turn out to be blessings in life down the road", and have a true idea of all of your wonderful traits then others will have no choice but to see it to. Learn to laugh at yourself. The ones that continue with the teasing knowing it's hurtfull... How sad for them, to come from such an ugly place. Be happy that you are you and take the time to really appreciate who you are. You are young, it will all make sense as you go through life. Stay true to you, know yourself and always stay strong. This is the kind of thing that builds true character in a person... and empathy...
Tell yourself every morning in the mirror before school, just how much you ROCK! HOld your head high and keep putting one foot in front of the next... Good luck!

Hey those people who are teasing ,if you react to them or if you show your neglection for their teasing they will start teasing more some evil creatures in this world always enjoy in others worries first of all be behave like a Don't CARE MASTER while they tease you too be like enjoying their teasing and say them see how tall I'm!! but you people short in the way that you make them feel shy... your self confidence should be more then no one can tease you at all...

The teasers will get back away from you dear

Good point Lavanyaa...
Take advantage of your height... join a basketball team
Next time someone's calls you a nasty name, have a witty come back like "Well at least I can reach the doorknobs in my house shorty"

Ok... so that wasn't very witty but you get the idea :p

As shaza said height is the key role for basket ball

Try to be a very good sportsman then let we see where are the teasers after u reached a high position in sports or what ever u like to achieve dear
