Is 5 foot 1 too short for a 16 year old?

I made this due to boredom but I'm also really curious...

Slightly below uk average for females , so no its fine
depends what species ?
Too short for what? If you mean for a professional netball career then I'm afraid so.
I fit the above mentioned completely, and sometimes, I do feel as though I am lacking in the height department... :dontknow:
No, you're never too small. It is smaller than average, but there's no idealised height. I'm 15 and 5'7 which is a couple of inches taller than average, but I don't feel too tall. So long as you don't want to be a basketball player you're good :-)
Not to be sexist, but for a girl thats not

According to the BBC

The average woman in England weighed 11 stone (70.2kg) and was 5ft 3in tall (161.6cm).
Doesn't matter. Anyone under 6 feet (for men) is a midget.

Answeign your question: no, you're not undedr 5ft so I guess you're somewhere around average height. (i think)

I'm 17 and 5'1. I'm even shorter than most girls in Year 10 at my school, but height's not important.

You're shorter than the average height for a girl, by a few inches. But being short isn't a big deal for a girl so I wouldn't worry about it.
