How tall is your 12/13yo?

My dd was 12 in May and has always been super tall. She won't let me measure her but she's taller than me now, so I'm guessing 5'6-5'7. She's defo taller than all her friends (and hates it). We know she's near enough stopped growing (needed spinal surgery so loads of X-rays).

5 foot 3 I think.

My 13 year old DS is just short of 6ft and size 11.5 shoes, he’s the youngest and is taller than 2 siblings and bigger feet than everyone, his dad is a similar height and I’m 5ft 6ins. I don’t think he’s stopped yet. He’s always been tall from age 2, was premature by 4 weeks and still weighed 7lb 7ozs

My DS who is 13 in December is about 5ft 7 and size 10 feet 😱
I'm 5ft 9 so I reckon by his birthday he'll probably be the same size as me 🤣

My poor ds3 who is 12 has not had his growth spurt so is still tiny compared to ds1 (16) who is 5ft 10 and ds2 (14) who us 5ft 11 with size 10 feet. Ds2 is taller than everyone in our immediate family and is only smaller than one uncle and one cousin. I am fairly average in height and shoe size and DH is fairly average too.

My DD13 is 4ft 7 and size 2 shoes. Much smaller than anyone in her class.

custardbear · 05/08/2022 19:58

DD13 is 5 feet 8.5 inches

MintJulia · 05/08/2022 20:00

I was 5'7" at 11. I only grew another inch and a half.

I wasn't keen on being tall as a teen but by the time I was 20 I loved it. Plenty of tall men at university 😊

DS, 13, 6'1", size 13 feet. Shoe shopping will be fun in a few weeks!

Girl, 13.5

12.5 year old ds2 is 5 foot exactly, definitely no growth spurt yet. Lots of his friends are much taller.

Ds1 is 14 and is 6 foot 1. He literally grew by a foot in less than 6 months last year and jumped three shoe sizes in the same period. He had awful growing pains in his legs and problems with his knees, he had the odd day where he could barely walk. Blood tests, x rays, all normal and they put it down to growth. All now settled and he's fine again now he's stopped growing! Or mainly stopped anyway.

12 year old dd about 5’5.

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 05/08/2022 20:09

DD 13 is 5'7" size 8.5 feet!

CanIBeElectric2 · 05/08/2022 20:16

DD(14) is 5’10”. She overtook me (5’5”) when she was 11. She’s also really skinny - size 6. She may have Marfan’s syndrome but doesn't qualify for the genetic testing because she doesn’t have the typical problems with her eyes or aorta (yet, anyway) although she is hypermobile and has classic Marfans teeth and hands (arachnodactyly).

Jibberty · 05/08/2022 20:34

DD4 is 13 and 5’7”. DDs 1 & 3 were about the same at that age and are now 5’8” and 5’ 10”. DD2 was 5’4” and there she stayed.

MissyB1 · 05/08/2022 20:38

Ds is 13 and 5ft 6 size 9 shoes.

NotEvenSlightlyReasonable · 05/08/2022 20:40

DD12 is 5'4, taller than most but not all of her friends. She overtook me 3" ago but DH is v tall. I suspect she'll end up about 5'7.

Looneytune253 · 05/08/2022 20:42

5'8 12 year old female

SheisMammyof2 · 05/08/2022 21:46

DS2 is 12 and 5'10" with size 11 feet, he's 2 inches taller than his older brother which does not go down well. There's a girl in his class who is 5'11".

WhiskeyMakesMeFrisky · 05/08/2022 21:48

DD, 12, 6ft on the dot. 😱

I'm 5ft 10 and her Dad is 6ft 4

easyday · 05/08/2022 21:48

My daughter was 5'6.5" at 12 and stopped growing. She's 17 now.
I was 5'8" at 11 and stopped at 5'11".

BigYellowElephant · 05/08/2022 21:52

Dd13 (14 soon) is 5 ft 2

TheOrigRights · 05/08/2022 21:58

13yo DS.
Size 8 feet and about 5'5" I think - he's a few inches shorter than me still.
He's much larger all over though, voice just about broken.
I can see the man he's going to become.

Still launches himself on my bed for cuddles - sometimes forgetting he can crush me now!

De88 · 05/08/2022 22:02

6ft 2!! 😖costing me a bloody fortune!

De88 · 05/08/2022 22:04

My eldest girl was 5"2 at that age

Pbjontoast · 05/08/2022 22:07

DS is 12 and 6'3, size 11 shoes.

DD was 5'9 at 12yo, size 6 shoes. She's now almost 16 and still 5'9 😂

My DH is very tall!!
