Height.


Question Posted Wednesday January 24 2007, 2:04 am

Is 5'0" average height for a 16 year (almost 17) old girl? I was 4'10" when I was 11 years old. I'm now taller than my mom by about an inch.

I'm just so tired of getting practically tackled in the hallways at school because literally, no one sees me.

oh my god, i would LOVE to be your height.

i'm 5'4, but i still wish i was shorter..haha you probably want to slap me right now for saying that, but..

5' is a little below average height, but there's nothing wrong with it. honestly, most guys go for short girls anyway, so your lucky.

but if you're really that sick of having people walking all over you, try wearing heals so you'll seem taller.

You're 16 & still growing. Who knows? Maybe you'll grow another inch or two in the next 2-3 years. But since you're already taller than your mom, I wouldn't look at much taller. (That's unless your dad is extremely tall, of course.) I think you're a little below average height for your age, but that's okay! There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. My best friend is days from 19 years old & she's only 4'11". But hey, unlike tall people who can't do anything to be shorter, atleast you have some options to make yourself taller. An obvious option is your shoe closet. If you don't want to wear heels everyday (which I don't blame you!) try platform shoes/flip flops or wedges. They're cute & will atleast give you a couple inches. :)

You're a little under the average height. The average height for women is 5'4", 5'5"ish. But the body doesn't stop growing till around 18 years of age, so you still got a good while to grow some more.

I get tackled in the hallways too, but I'm 5'4". Everyone in my school are just jerks, haha. x]


I hope I helped.

I think it's a little under average. But it's okay. I really don't think there's anything wrong with a girl being short.

I'm the same height as you! Yeah, we're shorties. But it's ok, being short is sometimes better than being tall.

You're a little shorter than average.
The average height for a woman in North America is 5'5" but you still have a year or two to grow.
