your not too short, people come in all heights, there are many women out there who dont want the extra tall guys, if they are say 5 foot tall, 5'9" is the adverage, of the adverage, so to speak, , that means that half are over, half under,,, so those right around that,,, say 5'5" to 6'1" are in the adverage range,, if you are thinner,,,, you will often appear taller to people,,, you didnt mention your weight

your genetics have pre-detrmined how tall your are. 5'7 is fine. You did not say how much you weigh but I am assuming you are thin, that is why people think you are taller than you are. Thin people look taller than there actually are. 5'7 is not short at all and you are only 19 so you may still grow another few inches. But if you are done growing your height is just fine.

Sir...do you have a job...a family...some loved one somewhere that needs encouragement or an ear to bend? My answer to both your queries is that you can't control neither your height or what people "estimate" it at, so don't worry about it. You have much better things to do with your time and your emotional capitol.
Good luck and God Bless

I think you are okay, 5'7" is not short....if people see you as taller, what is the problem? Just be yourself and don't stress about your height...Good Luck....

the reason you probably seem taller to your friends is because of body shape and size and certain clothing we wear even. no your hieght is fine and your not done growing untill your 21.25 for a woman. i went from 5'2' TO 5'7" in just my 22nd year. Good Luck.

5'9"-5'10" IS average for American men. You have nothing to worry about. The only women who would hold that against you are shallow bitches anyway.

Are you slender as well. The thinner you are the taller you look. you may also hold yourself up well with respect which may make you look taller-either way you are fine and don't worry
