Maybe you should go with an 000 or OM size. The 000s generally have narrow necks, the same size as dreadnaught, but the body is smaller. The OM has a smaller body and a shorter scale, but the neck is usually slightly wider.
I started playig at age 8, and started on a 3/4 size Silvertone. By age 12, I had graduated to a dreadnaught. I don['t think you'd have any trouble with a full size. It wouldn't hurt to learn a chord, go to a guitar shop and try a bunch of them out.
