I’m 5’4 , and my 17 year old daughter is 5’11- 6’1 depending on who’s measuring her . She used to love being tall until she started getting brainwashed by insecure teens , and social media .
My daughter watches harmful content of tall woman on social media, and internalizes it . You know how negativity is usually popular on social platforms on TikTok . All the prom couples usually have huge height differences, and my daughter feels left out . She holds resentment against her height , and feels like it limits her sadly . She tells me a short guy makes her uncomfortable , and highlights her height even more . My daughter is also into girlish kawaii styles , and feels like her height clashes with her outfits . I told her she can wear anything , and shouldn’t be defined by her height . How can I make my daughter see the beauty in her height ? |
| Following. I’m 5’4” and my 14 year old is 5’7” and hasn’t had her period yet but hopefully soon. She is already starting to get anxious about this topic. She has “big” feet too. |
5’7 is not tall , and by 14 most woman don’t grow lol . |

DD is 5’9 at 13. She loves it and wants to be taller. We are a tall family so maybe it is just normal to her, but she still dreams of being 5’11+ like your daughter!
I’m guessing these women are too old to make an impression on your daughter, but maybe point out some of the famous actresses, models, etc. who are around 6 feet? Sigourney Weaver, Nicole Kidman, Geena Davis, Giselle Bundchen, etc. |
She can wear anything. She just might have to tweak the proportions a little from what is targeted to shorter girls. Maybe a few tailor made kawaii styles that flatter her lines? |
The daughter hasn’t had her period yet which is usually when the growth period slows and then stops you tool. |
Are these woman sex symbols ? I hear men calling Giselle bundchen masculine . |
Not that I'm promoting these women but they are pretty well know to OPs generation: Kendall Jenner is 5'11" Gigi Hadid is 5'11" |
Oops I mean OP's DD's generation |
Most growth happens when a girl’s period starts. PP’s DD is already 5 ft 7in (which is taller than average) and still does not have her period. So she will likely be very tall. |

Sorry for being the spelling police but it’s advice (with a C) not advise.
To advise is the verb Advice is the noun. |
| Following. I have a 5’9” 14 year old who just got her period. My sister in law is a little over six feet. I think it’s very hard for dating but also very fashionable. That’s a positive thing about the present regime: they appreciate tall women. |
I feel like it’s the opposite , the 90s- early 2000s loved tall woman . Nowadays men like short petite woman or short curvy woman . |
OP's DD is 17 By the time she hits the full dating market, not high school kids, who knows? Anyway, at her age, who cares what "men" want. She has a lot of time before she needs to center men in her life, or maybe she never will. |
I mean the folks running the country. |
