Question: Is 5'2 considered short for a 16 year old girl!?
16 and 10 months to be exact!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I am the same as you! (I just recently turned 16 though)
People do call me short but when you actually look at it, medically speaking, it really isn't that short!. The average height for a girl is around 5'3-5'5 so I personally feel as though 5'2 is pretty close!.
It really all depends on how you carry yourself---be confident and you are the tallest person around :-)

Hope that helped lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yes!. The average height for women in the US is about 5'4"!. You are slightly below average!. Hence, you are short!. Since you are a girl, you are less likely to continue to grow versus a boy of the same age!. At the same time, it doesn't mean that you won't grow more!.

Look at your parents!. If you are about their height or a little taller, then you are likely done growing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am 18, and only 5 feet tall!. It is normal, I mean it all depends on your family history!. Are you parents some what short!? That is most likely the reason!.!.!.Sorry, there is nothing us short girls can do about it!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds alright!. I'm 14 and 10 months, and 5"4!. And it feels weird to me :TWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'd say that's just about perfect, maybe a teeny bit taller than average but that's good!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I believe that's a really nice height!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
