It sounds to me like the girl in question is just fishing for compliments!.

5'6 is average height for a *white* female!. I would consider her neither short nor tall, but socierty says she is too short to do a lot of things!.!.!. such as become a high fashion model or play pro basketball!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the average height for an adult female in the United States is 5 feet 5 inches inches!.

5'6 is by far NOT a giant!. However, it falls in the 75% for height at the age of 18!. That means a girl that is 5'6 is taller than 75% of people her that are age 18!.

As an added note: My 13 year old daughter is already 5'7 1/2Www@Answer-Health@Com

im 5' 6' and i hate it!.!.i wouldnt consider myself GIANT!.!.!.but the only reason why i complain is because it is harder to find a guy taller then me, and if i have a b!.f!. shorter then me id feel masculine as hell!!.!.!.my bf is 5'9' and i still feel like i overtake him!.!.i wish i could sit in his lap and still be shorter then him!.!.like 5'0" thatd be cool!.!.!.but i guess it all depends on how she carries herself!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nope! She's pretty much average!. I believe 5'5" is the average height for an American female!. Believe me, I keep up on the height info, I'm a white female who is 5'10" (so she can stop her whining) and I'm in the 98th percentile for female height in the US!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, 5'6" isn't really tall and I have no clue why she would complain- it isn't a bad height, it's around the average for a Caucasian female!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
