I think kids are a bit taller than they used to be!. My mom is 5'9" and was taller than everyone in her school!. She towered over all the girls, and a lot of the boys, in high school!. But when she was volunteering at my high school (and this was about 6 years ago now) she felt short!. A lot of the boys and girls were taller than her!. We actually had two kids in my school that were over 7 feet tall (one was 7'2" and the other was 7'4")!. I am 5'5" tall and was that height at 12!. I ended up being shorter than most of the people around me when I got to high school!. But 5'5" is pretty average for a woman!. Because your parents are fairly tall, it wouldn't be surprising if you have a little bit of growing left in you, but it's not guaranteed!. Like I said, my mom is 5'9", my dad is 5'10", my brother is 6', and I'm the shorty in the family!. But I am taller than two of my aunts and both of my grandmothers!. If you've got shorter people in the family, it's very possible that you'll stay where you are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
it has been scientifically proven that kids today are maturing and growing faster and bigger than before and it has been blamed on the amount of chemicals now being introduced in food production!.
pediatritions tell parents that they have to control the amount of fast foods that children eat because it is having an adverse effect on the size of everything on them eg!. breasts, seeing their periods at an earlier stage, which leads to wanting to have sex at an earlier age and the list goes on and on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you're 5'5" in tenth grade, that's tall enough! if you think there's something wrong with it because your parents or siblings are taller too (because then it is a genetical question), you could be just a late bloomer!. don't worry!. if you were 4'10", that would be short!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
