Height

Hi everybody,
I just had a few concerns about my height. Im Male and 17 Years old. And currently i stand at 5'8 Only.

Would you ladies consider this pretty small as im usually the same height as most girls in my year which slightly worries me.

Thanks

I'm sure you're not just going to stop growing now. You grow until you're about 22 I think. Well, your bones do anyways!

Stop being so paraniod, and be glad you're not as short as these are...http://www.prestigioushomesflatfeeservices.net/images/ompa%20lumpa%20men.jpg

5"8 isn't that short anyways!!!

5'8"'s fine, and you probably haven't stopped growing anyway.

What?? If most girls in your year are 5'8" they must be putting something special in the water where you live. Average for a woman is about 5'5", & speaking from down here at 5'1", your height is absolutely fine and barely below average for a guy...and you'll probably keep growing.

5'8 for a male of your age is perfectly fine. infact, i would say its about average from what i see.

5ft 8 is tiny, unlucky mate, best you can hope for is going out with midgets.

Most people grow a lot between 17 - 19, so I wouldn't worry about it. Unless you start to shrink, in which case you should be very afraid...

Oh don't worry, you'll row. That's the most frustrating thing a person can say, when all you want is to shoot up an inch now! Take a look at your parents, grandparents, and your parents' siblings. Make a rough calculation of their heights and add an inch onto the height. Appaerntly, that's the best indication of what heiht you'l be. Obviously, pay moe attention to the males, of course.

May i say that this may not be entirely accurate- my brother told me, but he's only a dentist!

One of my friends (male) was only 5 foot 6 at the age of 18. He is 25 now and 6 foot 4. I wouldn't worry just yet - you still have plenty of time to grow.
However, even if you don't grow - 5" 8 really isn't that small. Most women are probably smaller than that height. I am 5 foot 7 and the tallest from all of my girlfriends - don't worry!
