I thought 5"1 was tall :(

I just measured how tall I am and I'm 5"1. But I always thought around 5" was considered as average. Do you guys consider it as short?

What age do girls stop growing at btw?

I doubt I would be growing anymore :frown:

Oooh, is there anything that can help you grow :tongue:

Aww sweetie, how old are you?

No the average woman in the uk is about 5ft 4, so you are quite short...but do not worry what others think, if you carry yourself well and with confidence you will appear much taller... :biggrin:

Girls tend to stop at 18, I stopped when I was about 15 and I am 5ft 7.
Drink lots of milk, take vitamin d supplements and eat lots of veg and protein...

Well im 5'4 - 5'5 and a guy (I'm 23), and I am considered short by some. I like my height though. And I prefer smaller girls. So taking that into consideration, your height is better than good in my eyes, its preferable.

By some? Who considers you to be tall?

LOL.

It is short. I'm 5'2 and I regularly get called short. However if you're under 18 (?) you can still grow.

Nobody considers me tall, ha.
Someone I knew called me short earlier this year. And 5+ years ago I recall someone else I knew calling me short. Barring these 2 incidents off the top of my head - nobody says anything to me about my height. Hence why I said some, even that, 2 people don't even qualify as 'some'. I personally like my height, not worried about what other people think.

Most people carry on growing 'til 18, sometimes 'til a year or so after, too. I stopped growing at around 14 at a solid not-quite 5'1", haha. If you don't grow any more, don't worry about it. Apart from good-natured teasing from friends and colleagues I've encountered no* issues with being short. With you only being 15, you've probably got some growing left in you. Depends on genetics too, I've got a short family so it's not surprising that I'm not towering over anyone.

*Except when I was assistant manager at a store and the lock was out of reach so I had to rely on the people leaving the night before to leave the stool out behind the shutter so I could open the door, xD.
