Well if your a girl then yeah thats tall but otherwise just about averge apparently. However, At 5'6 I always felt the averge was going up by the year or something. Seemed like every girl I knew was my height or taller except for a few - I even had a friend and she was 6'5. Anyways, yeah during highschool seemed like the averge girl was 5-6 or 5-7 while for boys it was like 5-11 to 6' flat. Not really sure, if 5-10 can be considered short by global standards but maybe in some reigons it is.
