im 14, and 3 months, and am 5ft 9.5, about 5ft10, and i know thats average size for a man, and im taller than alot of the grown men i see. i looked at a percentile calculator, and it said i was between the 90th and 92nd percentile. i thought that was cool because my dad was at the 90th at my age, and when he turned 16 he was 6ft, and at the 90th. he grew till he was 25, and he is now 6ft4 or 6ft5. hope i turn out like him. anyway, is that tall. i know there are people taller, but taller than 90 percent of the population my age is pretty good. i heard the median height is 5ft5 for 14. i hit puberty at the same time as everyone else, i just got more noticeble results, as is typical of my family.
PS my moms family is average height, but she's 5ft2, however, i look just like my dad. dads family is normally like 6ft6, shortest people my dead great uncle at 6ft1, great uncle paul and great uncle jimmy 6ft10, people on mom, like my grandma(5ft7) and great uncle pat and chic(6ft) are tall.
