QuestionHow can a 12-year-old get skinnier and shorter? I don’t t want supportive comments. Be brutally honest.TuckeriscuteCommunity AnswerThere is really nothing you can do to be shorter, but there is a lot you can do to be skinnier. You can try to eat healthier food and work out every day. Eating less will not help your situation and might slow down your progress. Daisy Keech has really good workouts on YouTube. If you are too tired or don’t have time to work out, that’s OK! If you just don’t feel like it, go for a brisk walk instead.
