I'm 15 years old, I'm a girl and I'm only 5'0..?!


Question: I'm 15 years old, I'm a girl and I'm only 5'0..?
I feel really short compared to all my friends and I hate it. I would love to be tall! My mom is pretty short, and some of the family members on her side are the same size but my dads side of the family is average height. Is this it for me? And does anyone have any tips on growing?

I'm an 20 year old boy who is 5'3. I'm taller than my mom and sister (who is 18 months younger than me) but much shorter than my dad. You may start growing more in the future, but just except who are you. Sure you might get picked on, but that's life.

I'm a short indian whose grounp of friends are mostly athletic tall white guys, sure I get picked on but you gotta learn to deal with it.
