Answer 1

don't worry about your height, it's the person you are inside that really counts, i think of it being vertically challenged not short, i think it sounds better!!!! :) have a great day

Answer 2

not really,its not that short for the age range,but some people have their growth spurts later on when there body develops,i remember a couple of my classmates just shot up when they were in late highschool,they went from like 5 feet and some change to like 6 feet all of a sudden,it was insane,dont worry about your height,your body doesnt stop growing until your like 21 i think,so you got like 9 more years to grow,more people need to feel comfortable with how there body grows.link below should tell you more about in general,if your really that concered,pretty good information page,

Answer 3

I don't think so. I was 5' 1" when I was your age and now I'm 6' 2". I hit my growth spurt around 14. Just wait, it'll come.

Answer 4

Hmm. Well, I'm not sure. I don't remember how tall I was when I was 12. I am 22 now and I'm only 5'4''. So maybe it's not that short afterall, lol

Answer 5

I am not sure for females but for males that is probably average or above average. I was about 4'6" at 12 but now I am 5'9"

Answer 6

Thats about average 5' is average

Answer 7

Answer 8

You're one inch below average for your age.

Answer 9

It's normal, you still have years to grow so I wouldn't worry about it at all :)
