How tall am I suppose to be?
How can you find out how tall you are? I'm 14 and I'm a girl and I'm white or caucasian or whatever. Everybody says I'm really short and I hate it because I'm only like 5'2" but I keep saying I'm only 14, right? and I got time to grow I think. Anyways, how tall is the average 14 year old girl then? && if I'm not that tall should I see a doctor?

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
Everyone has different DNA which determines how tall you will be. I'm almost 20 and I'm only 5' 3" so I wouldn't worry about it. If you're only 14 you still have time to grow, girls tend to grow until they are 20 or 21.
Hope this helps!

Ok,first of all you are not that short for your age. I have a hand full of friends that are like 5 feet.my best friend is only 4 feet 9 in and she's 15 years old.I'm 15 too and I'm 5feet 4in and I barely started to get taller last year.
I don't see why people think it's not fun to be short.short is just another way of say fun sized.
This leads to my conclusion:
1. You are not short
2.there are many people my age and older that are your height and shorter
3.short people are fun sized
Sincerely your new friend,

How healthy your growth is depends a lot on your growth through the years. Doctors keep a grow chart to keep a record of progress.
According to average growth patterns for 14 yr old females you are right smack in the middle of average. Humans come in all different heights. So average in a 14 year old female ranges from 4ft8 to 5ft5in. Yes you still have plenty of time to grow. In females, height slows down at 17 but the body continues to grow and change until 21. So you have at least 3 years to grow taller possibly more.
If you are concerned speak to your family doctor.
