hello! I am currently in 7th grade and i am 5 feet tall. I sometimes for fun drink coffee with my friends, and i love drinking tea!
I sleep badly, very badly, some nights i fall asleep at 10 pm and some at 1 am, and sometimes im sleepless! i sleep with my lights off and a hall light on. I feel out of place, because my friends are taller than me Crying or Very sad and my sister is two years younger than me, and is skinny and 2 or 1 inch/inches shorter than me! im 85 or 90 lbs! im too scared too go on a diet, because i heard it stunts your growth more when your young! My family is tall! my two brothers are 14 and 16 years old, and they are 6,1 both!




im really worried, i dont know what too do, PLEASE help me!

Stop worrying.
An extreme diet may stunt your growth, however, coffee stunts your growth even more while you are still developing. Consider changing your diet, not going on a diet. Start eating healthier - like fruits and vegetables. Drink milk and eat lots of proteins. If you are afraid of gaining weight, exercise just a little during the day.
You are still young and should not have to worry about things like this. But maybe if you get into a healthy routine while you are young, maybe it will stick with you. Just remember that you are still growing until your mid twenties.
