I don't know.
A little.
Probably: look at the height of your parents. If they are taller, you should be too.
And you should know the answers to these questions by seeing other kids your age at school.

the kids who are as tall as me always say they are short

You do not mention whether you are male of female. Average female height is 5'4" in the USA but that includes a widespread makeup of many ethnicities, some much taller/shorter than others.

If you are male, you will likely grow several more inches, but if you are female perhaps a couple more inches.

I didn't reach my growth spurt until I reached age 15 when it began which is the median age for puberty among males. I recall as a 12 year-old boy I was only 5'0" and concerned because of my piers height on average was greater.

Most of this has to do with genetic makeup, so look at your parents height (of the same sex) to get an indicator. That too is not always accurate, sometimes way off, but it is a yardstick.

The best advice I can give you is never to compare yourself to others. Happiness is not achieved by comparing oneself to others but rather from seeking individual pursuits that give pleasure. There is a right match for people, it may just take you longer to find the right one if you are not in the median range. No big deal and quit worrying.

Im a girl

my dad is 5"11 and my mom is 4"11
BUT my gradma on my dads side was 5"10

is there hope for me? =(

As to weight, you are on the light side for a girl but definitely underweight for a boy. Everything must be done in moderation, being too thin is not a good thing, it is very bad. If you feel comfortable at your weight and have energy throughout the day then likely you are ok. If not, then something is probably in need of change. Speak to your doctor next time you go for a visit and ask the same question.

Phantom_Pixie,

Height is a non-issue for a girl. A girl/woman is not at a disadvantage for being short when it comes to attracting people/guys. To many guys, including me, a female shorter than average is an attractive feature, not a turn off. Unless you wish to work as a fashion model, or play basketball, your height does NOT matter!!!

I frankly do not understand why you are posting such a concern or your mindset. It is a non-issue. Shorter is better to me at least when it comes to the opposite sex. I bet a lot of guys would agree.

my boyfriend is 6 foot and I feel werid being so much shorter than him I barely come uo to his chin.

up*

plus I kinda DO want to be a model

Dont worry about it, Im 15 and 5'6" and 120 lbs and im fairly skinny so your definately not fat. I was 4'11" in 9th grade and I just suddenly grew. Who knows, you might surprise yourself!

I'm 15 and 5'6. ^ Don't get short with anyone..

haha, im just screwing around.

wtf @ these fat posts.

It's just weight if that's all.

If you have a large, protruding, overlapping gut, then you're fat.

If you weigh 10 more lbs than so and so, and like 3 inches taller, no, you're not fat.

omg your anerexic and youll grow

no sweetheart, she's not anorexic unless she's purposefully starving herself in an attempt to lose weight. while she is underweight for her height, that doesn't automatically make her anorexic. she most likely has a fast metabolism, which will even out as she gets older. to phantom_pixie: most girls who are your height (and i am actually) would kill to weigh what you do. trust me, you're NOT overweight at all. as i mentioned before, you'd actually be considered underweight. don't worry though; if you're only 15, you've still got a little while to grow. while you probably won't be 6' tall, there's a chance you may gain an inch or two.

u shouldnt worry because im too skinny and too short for my age im 13 and weigh 48lbs and not a migit or have problems not a thing too worry about unless ur 200-300lbs and ull probly have a growth spert

ask your doctor. she will have a growing chart at your check ups, which tells a line graph of your growth. but id say your weight and height are fairly healthy for now. dont worry

no it isnt 5'4????? more like 5'7... males average height is now 5'9 ish. ellopeople is probably a midget.

as for the writer.... you are short... might grow another inch or two or three, and i think your weight is the average weight for your height. You arent fat... but not stick thin.

I always wanted to be short... Im almost 6 feet tall, and are a walking skeleton (25lbs under weight) but I eat a lot!

i have never met a short girl that isn't very nice, so thats one good thing about you ; )
no matter if you ever get any taller or not you'll always be there for me.. lol ignore that, i dont erase anything i write.. ahahah if i write it, it stays there.. but i think that you'll be about 5"9 but i have no idea

if you have MSN, add me ; ) and anyone else that reads this post too

you ain't reaally fat fat is blown out of proportion.

i'm 5 ft 10 200 pounds yeah i'm not skinny to the bonei got meat on me but i can run 5 miles straight and bench 215. If your fat? who cares it's about health isn't it?

if youre a girl youre short and if youre a guy youre really short. if youre gonna grow taller? depends when you hit puberty. if you did at 11 or 12 youre not gonna be much taller.
youre an ''ok'' weight. and i dissagree with hostiy, youre weight is your looks and looks is what attracts people. health doesnt attract people unless youre 30 and you cant get a boner.
