I'm like 5'0 (I'm not sure actually. I'm like 152-3 cm?) and yea okay, I sorta get teased about it from time to time (I'm 14), and it bothers me a lot. I don't know if I'll grow any taller (sorta had my period at an early age... around 10-11 ish?) and well yea. But people always tell me I look taller, like around 5'2-5'3, but yea, I ain't fooling nobody =). So I just wanted to get your opinions.
And don't worry about hurting my feelings or anything, I'm sorta used to it =D.

Okay, just to make something clear, I grew around 5 cm when I was 10 or so, right after or around when I got my period, so I'm guessing that was my growth spurt??? And my mom is 165cm, my dad is 170, my brother is 173 (older by 2-3 years). Oh, and I also had an eating disorder from the time I was 12 til 14 (quit just two-three months ago?) and I haven't really grown at all during that time, so I was just wondering...

The average height for women vary dramatically from country to country. In Australia the average height is around 156cm. I believe it's slightly shorter in the US but it would also depend on your ethnicity (whether you are Anglo-saxon or African-American for example)
Also, you're only 14 - you have another 5-8years to keep growing. You may find that you'll have a growth spurt around 16 and be taller than everyone else! Look at how tall your parents are and if you take after one more than the other, if they're really tall then chances are you will be too.
You'll get used to your height no matter how tall you are, there are advantages to being the height you are so find them and then embrace them.

5' is considered short in my opinion , I stand 6'-2" . Though I have seen odder couples. If you're only 14 at this point you could still grow some , take a good look at your family. If your Mom and Dad are both over 5-8 , maybe you're juast a late bloomer in the growth department . Even so , ask any Tall girl how hard it really is to get a date and you'll be much happier at 5-0.

The which potential completely adjustments. while we talk approximately those issues we ought to evaluate one yet another or to norms. So for the sake of marriage she require a guy above 5 ft a million inch. If she is particular concerning the top 5 ft 5 inches or 6 ft are greater effectual. If she isn't particular concerning the top she will marry below 5 ft a million inche as like Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaska. between couple love and affection is considerable not top and weight.

Honey, you're still growing. From the time I was 14 all the way up to 18, I grew 3 inches. So, sweetheart, you still got a ways to go.

Everyone is beautiful no matter the height! Remember that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. When you grow old like me you will realise that beauty is in the heart and not the physique. Get on with life, living it to its full, and don't let anyone put you down for your height.

If you're used to it, why did you even ask?
Height is but a number. I'm 20, I'm 5'0" and I'm DAMN proud of it.
