yes it is normal. you're still young and your height will still boost up. all you have to do is have enough sleep, about 8 hours (min.), drink milk, exercise. take vitamin B or height booster medicines like Cherifer.. consult your Dr. about them before using.
4'10 is not bad... that's tall for a girl in general. don't give up.

Your height is just fine. And don't worry if people tease you. Just brush it off. The more dramatically you react to their "names" for you, the more they're going to bug you. Just show them that you're to old for name-calling and that sort of junk. Show them that, even though you may not be quite as tall as most of the other girls, you still are a person, have a personality, and are fun to be around. That's what counts.
On the other hand, I WOULD worry about being bow-legged. Go to your doctor. Perhaps visit an orthopedic center. Maybe there's nothing wrong, but I would make sure just in case. Bones are very important. Take care of yourself and go see an orthopedist. =]

So you are a little short, big deal. I'm 15, really close to 16, and i'm only 5'0". Even though people are used to my height, I still get the occasional Wow, you're really short! (It's like, no really?) You have to realize that being short can be a good thing. You get underestimated. Most people I know wouldn't want to be in a fight with me. You have to understand that being short is almost empowering. Embrace it. And it's perfectly normal. You may grow a lot more or only a little, but it's who you are and you should be proud.

no you're fine lol you are just a petite girl. My little sister is 17 and 4"9 and I'm 22 and 5"1 my mom's the same height. I just come from a family of short women. We (us females) come in all shapes and sizes. You're still young so you MAY have another growth spurt before 21, but if not then don't fret. Most guys actually like women of smaller stature. take care!

Relax, you are still young and you are probaly still growing. Unless you are a dwarf, you can expect to continue growing until your early 20's. Check your mothers height, you may grow as tall as she is or a little taller. There is nothing wrong with being short. Don't let people make you feel bad about your height, keep your head up.

You are the perfect height. You have so much growing left to do. Even if you only grow to five foot, being tall is not all it is cracked up to be. I am 5'10'' and I would love to be shorter. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side.

you will still grow taller... girls usually grow until they are 15-16 and when you are older short is usually a good thing alot of guys like that.
yes you should talk to your doctor... its not normal however common there are things they can do to correct it... if nothing is done when you are older (much older) you will have hips problems and it is VERY painful so take the time and see what your dr. has to say
and good luck with the guys, they will like you later ;-) and the girls well... they are girls.

I was 4'11" at ur age. I'm 20 and 5'2"... who cares what people say... You can't control your height so why stress about it. Just try to eat healthy and get yourself some exercise. My brother is 15 and he is probably about 4'6" or 4'8" I love being small.

I'm your age and the same height. I get called short at least once a day, so you're not alone. I bet we will both get taller. Have faith!
