Am I short for a 13 year old girl?!


Question: I am currently, 13 years old and I am only 159cm (5'3).
Am I short for 13?

Most of the girls in my class are about 5'5 or 5'6.
So I always feel that I'm very short...even though, I have a girl whose only 4'10 in my class. Now that's REALLY short!!

I hope you guys could give me your opinions.

Thanks.

No, your fine. People come in all shapes and sizes. So don't feel bad if you are not as tall the other girls in your class.
5'3-5'4 is average for a girl.. so you are alright. it seems like most guys like shorter girls anyway Report It

    Im 5ft 1. Im 14. I have the height of an adverage 12 yrs old.
    Adverage height for a 13 yr old is 5ft 3 /5 ft4
    So think yourslef lucky!!
    No.
    Not all girls/people in general grow at the same pace, nor will they grow up to be the same height.
    No, I don't think that's short at all. I'm 13 and I'm only about 4' 9"
    ...I'm 14 and 5'0
    consider yourself average.
    I'm half an inch shorter than you... I'm 15 and done growing, so no, you are not short.
