Height can be a relative concept, as it varies across different cultures, regions, and even families. Generally, the average height for women worldwide is around 5'4" (162 cm). In many countries, particularly in the West, a height of 5'8" (173 cm) would be considered slightly above average for a woman. However, height can depend a lot on genetics, nutrition, and overall health.

It's important to note that there's a lot of variation in height even within specific populations. Factors like genetics play a significant role - if the women in your family are tall, you're more likely to be tall as well. Nutritional factors are also crucial, especially during the growth phases of childhood and adolescence.

What's more important than whether you're tall or short is that you're healthy. Good nutrition, regular exercise, and taking care of your overall well-being are far more crucial than fitting into any specific height or size category.

Everyone has their unique beauty and qualities that make them special. It's essential to embrace your height, no matter what it is, and to feel confident and comfortable in your own skin. Our differences are what make us unique, and that's something to be celebrated.

So, while 5'8" (173 cm) might be considered tall in some places, it's just a number. It doesn't define your worth or your abilities. Be proud of who you are, and remember that your value goes far beyond physical attributes.

Over average. Statistics say average female high is between 168 - 170 cm in EU. However I find girls in my age range are mostly taller, I'm 178 cm and I don't have the feel I'm tall.
