Getting used to being tall?!
Question: Getting used to being tall!?
Hello!. I'm a 16 year old male and for most of my life I've been the "shrimp"!. I was always among the shortest guys in my grade, hovering around 5'1"-5'2" till about a year ago!. It was just part of who I was!. But over the past year I've been going through a massive growth spurt!. Even my doctor has been surprised at the rate I'm shooting up!. Now I'm 6'3" and probably going to get a bit taller (doctor said maybe 6'8"!!?!)!. My parents and siblings are average height so we're all pretty surprised!.
In some ways, I love being tall!. I'm good at sports now and I made two school varsity teams - basketball and football!. I can see over everything and I get a lot of positive attention from people!. However, there have been so many negatives!. I just feel so awkward and clumsy in my new body!. I accidentally hurt one of my friends in a pickup basketball game - I just overpowered him!. I feel kind of isolated because I tower over my friends now!.
Any suggestions on making the adjustment easier!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
