17 years old...Am I too short?!


Question: 17 years old...Am I too short?
Hi, I'm 17 years old, 18 years in june. I currently stand at 5"1 - 5"2 ishh and i just wanted to ask whether this is too short for my age? I'm a girl by the way.... and my dad is about 6 feet and my mum is about my height.
At college everyone is about 5"5 minimum i swear, and even when i wear heels when i go out i'm still short! Am i normal? or am i too short? :( i feel as if i don't fit in.... like everyone might look down on me!
have i stopped growing? :( advice would be helpful! thanks!

Answers:

You have probably reached your adult height. There are little tricks to making the most of your height but there is absolutely nothing wrong with 5'1". Stay with the higher heels. Pile your hair up on top of your head if you have that sort of hair. Always stand up straight and tall. And don't forget - quality not quantity, good things come in small packages etc. If you are well groomed and have a good personality nobody will care about your height.



Average hight for a female adult is 5"5. You'll still probably grow a bit before then.

It may seem to you like everyone is looking down on you, but they probably feel lanky next to you. Good excuse to wear some killer heels though if you are feeling really self conscious.



It all depends when you got your period.
I got mine when I was 10 (Horrible to go through as a 5th grader).
I was the tallest in my class up until then, and I barely grew length wise. I'm now 5 feet even and I won't get any taller. And I've been that way for 10 years.



You can make yourself taller by sitting and standing Straight with neck high all the time for a few weeks, its been Proven to work on this show i watched the other day.



You're very short but everyone's different. Snooki's in her 20s and she isn't even 5ft! Just thank God you're not shorter. And yes, you have stopped growing.



no no your just normal well i think every living thing is if we were all the same life would be very boring my mam is 5''4 my dad is 5''8 i am 22 and 6''0 but am male you see girls are usually smaller i dont know why thats just how it is besides your only 17 you could shoot up in the next few years there is no treatment to make you taller i remember someone asking that on here theres no pills or nothing you can do to make yourself look taller height is a natural thing same as other body parts really some are big some are small the only thing that matters is whats inside your head like personalty thats what matter not what you look like i have a friend she from America she 42 years old she only 4''1 and i love her to pieces we get on great it all comes down to how your mind works just think ahh so what its only my height its my personalty that counts
