Hi. I'm 14 and when I was your age I was 4'10". And I'm a guy! Now I'm 5'5" and 120 lbs. Still on the short side. Now most hieght related factors are genetic. That is, if your parents are tall, most likely you will be tall. If your parents are short like mine, well, you got an uphill battle going. Another factor is sex. Males tend to be taller than females, so if you are female don't sweat it. Many models and figure skaters are like 5'4 to 5'8. The last factor is puberty. Females tend to start pubery at around 11 to 14. This is really the time that women grow. Males tend to start it around 12 to 16. Eating is important also. Vitamin D and Calcium encourage bone growth important for hieght. Foods high in protein also contribute to muscle growth. Exercise helps too. Hope that helps,
its not easy being short.

Your height is normal for a 10 year old girl. There is nothing you can do to get taller quickly except wait for about 6 years. You can maximize your growth potential by eating properly and exercising regularly.
Try not to worry. Different people grow at different times. It's possible that you will be taller than all your friends in a few years time. Take a look at your mother. You will probably be about the same height as her.

Sweetie, if you're ten years old, you're going to get taller. You'll probably keep growing height-wise until you're around 16 or 17.
See how tall your parents are, and you can make a good comparison as to what your height will be when you grow. But for now, enjoy being young and little! (Adult life of college, work, bills, and all that comes later ;)

Like the other person said for your age you are growing normally. I would not worry but if you are worried about your weight I would not go an a diet, I would how ever start eating health foods I know you are not going to like this, but I would eat more vegetables and the right kind of fish and meat and less junk foods like chips and sodas and go less to fast foods places like hamburger places and pizza places too and eat more stuff you can cook yourself for your age I would start learning to cook and how to use herbs for when you eat right your body will grow right and start exercising some it will help your body grow.
