Hey, some of the most beautiful women are petite - Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria, Hillary Duff, Reese Witherspoon, Lucy Liu, Patricia Heaton, Lindsay Lohan and others are 5'2" and under. Jessica Simpson, Natalie Portman, Britney Murphy, Sheryl Crow and Nicole Richie are 5'3". Madonna, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Drew Barrymore and Winona Ryder also fall into the petite range, and it's rumored that gorgeous Penelope Cruz is 5'2 or 5'3 (celebrities often report that they're taller than they actually are, but there are websites that compare them standing next to others that prove their actual height).

So relax, you're in good company, and also at age 14 you're probably going to be growing taller anyway. Just make sure you don't go on any starvation diets!

stina agony auntHi Anonymous,

Perhaps your friends are envious? I'm 5'8½" and I hate being this tall. I always wished that I was shorter. I feel like a barbarian in heels. lol Maybe your friends are jealous and don't know how to act? That's the first thing that popped into my head.

If you're happy with your height - and you seem to be - then don't let anyone bring you down. Those people are just jerks and being tall isn't that great anyway. You're fine the way you are.

Take care.
