Question

i'm 16 yr old and dying to be tall.i'm just 5 ft tall.Do u think i'm short or its just OK for an average height?

Answer 1

You're somewhat short but don't worry, you're not done growing yet.

I see from an earlier question that you are a girl so you won't grow that much more. But the good news is that for a girl, 5 ft or 5ft 1 isn't bad at all. If your healthy, that's all that counts.

And btw, don't listen to Ms. Boobs up there. You are not a midget.

Answer 2

According to this height-for-age chart (link below), you're below 5th percentile for boys your age. Don't fret, there's nothing you can do about your height. I'm also short and when I was younger, I wished I was taller. But life was alright, looking back now. Concentrate on improving the areas that you can do something about. Fill your brain with knowledge and develop intelligent opinions about them. Watch tons of comedy shows (The Daily Show, 30 Rock, whatever makes you laugh) and develop a sense of humor. Then put these experiences and knowledge into your personality, so that when you meet people, they don't think of "small guy" first, but "smart guy" or "funny guy". Sure, they'll see that you're short, but they'll also remember that you're dealing with it well. You'll show that you're comfortable with your body and that it hasn't dragged you down in terms of emotional health. That will be seen as attractive to others as well.

[Sorry to assume: if you're a girl, you're at 5th percentile for height-for-age among girls. See second link below. My advice would still be the same, although it's easier for girls than for boys to be short.]

Answer 3

I'm five feet and about your age. I must agree it's annoying at times to have to stand on a stool to see your friends' faces, but there's really nothing you can do. You can try to increase calcium intake, but it is probably too late for you to grow any taller. Guys stop growing at about 15-18 yrs. Girls usually stop growing 2 yrs. after their period starts. However, sports such as basketball and swimming will help stretch you out a bit, but i doubt it'll be more than a centimeter or two.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, 5 feet is a little shorter than average. If you're a girl, you're probably already done growing, but if you're a boy, you might grow a few more inches yet. Just wear high heels if you want to be taller (unless you're a boy, because that would look funny).

Answer 5

no not really. you arent tall but no your not short. you are a little shorter then average but oh well. it really depends on what your body type is. id you are skinny/regular. you are fine. i know a girl that is 18 and she is only 4 9 and she looks good. i am short too. so dont worry. short people are awesome! and on the plus side, you dont have to worry about being taller than a guy you are dating. hah = )

Hi Rohit, Its the Genetical truth, nothing to do with mastrubation. Dont believe an excessive amount of some could get beard and mush at 20yrs additionally and a few maynot as i mentioned as a result of Genetical info. U can mastrubate as commonly as u can to keep the activity of the sperm creation in testicals.

Answer 7

hi Rohit, Its the Genetical truth, no longer some thing to do with mastrubation. dont imagine too a lot some would get beard and mush at 20yrs also and some maynot as i stated using Genetical information. u can mastrubate as many circumstances as u can to keep the activity of the sperm production in testicals.

Answer 8

I'm 5 feet tall, and I don't like being this short, but I'm not growing anytime soon, so I just deal with it. It makes you stand out though!

Answer 9

It's not important what anyone thinks about your height. You are the only one that matters.
