Is 5'3 considered tall or short for a teen female?

[jenny17]

I consider myself average but some say i am short i am 17 years old.

[KortneyFernandes772]

I'm 5'3" and 17 i feel very short but i know it's just the way i am and i can't grow but maybe i will have a random grown spirt again, expect who you are your beautiful i'm luck all my friends at school aren't that much talked then me so i'm not scared 😂😂😂

[Falling4UTC]

Short, but not as short as me. I am 4'11 3/4 at 15. My sister who is two years younger than me is taller than me by a good inch or two. Dont worry, you are the hieght guys want, not me. When guys say short girls, they mean your hieght not mine lol.

[jenny17]

You are pretty and i am sure you have a great personality and i was around your height at 15 DON'T worry

[Falling4UTC]

Aww thank you :) That means so much. I just want to make it to like 5'1 that is my goal. And you seem vey nice too thank you :)

[jenny17]

Yeah i am weird i guess and sometimes too honest. Hehe. You will make it to 5'1 just wait

[Falling4UTC]

Nahh you aren't :) I am pretty weird (and awkward lol) Thanks so much this made me smile :)

[Candy_Princess]

I think it's short. I know a lot of people who are younger and taller than you.

[MrOracle]

Anything under 5'4" is considered short, but it puts you on the taller end of the "short" range. The average female height (in the US, anyway) is 5'5", so you really aren't that far off the average.

[helpman]

Short
Im 18 and 6'2
And I can say im tall

[jenny17]

Yes but you are dude thanks anyways.

[helpman]

Yea I know but I would cobsider a height of 5'6 or taller as tall girl at your age

[helpman]

Thanks for MHO
Happy to help :)
Cheers :)

For the typical 17 year old, 5'3" might be a little on the short side, but it is still in the average range. You still have a little growing to do...

[jenny17]

Yeah i agree my mom is 5'4. My sister is 11 and almost my height ugh. She makes fun of me.

[jerrbear100]

Hehehe, well when your dear little sis sprouts higher than you, then you get to start calling her STRETCH, Trust me that'll grate on her just the same. But seriously, you are who you are. Shorter, petite girls actually attract more attention for some reason. Look on the bright side, you do not have to shop for clothes because you are outgrowing them. You get to ADD to your wardrobe, not replace it.

[jenny17]

Yess thanks soo much lol you made my day so true.

[BlackKidWithGlasses]

omg you dont understand how much I love short girls and I'd consider that short.

[jenny17]

Ahh Thanks. Sweet of you to say

[Megalodon]

Meh, sorta short. Though I doubt any guy would mind. as long as your over 5' your good.

[jenny17]

kk Thanks

[aamy811]

It's short. Petite stops at 5'4 so yeah, welcome to the short crew

[SkaterDude]

considering for a fact even a 5 footer without heels getting a guy these days, i don't see a problem here

[jenny17]

I know but i am just wondering because i need some comeback when someone calls me short.

[SkaterDude]

jeez!!! accept who you are and say whatever to them, you are not in middle school

[jenny17]

Thanks for your honesty.

It's considered short, but I think it's actually pretty average. I think most girls are between 5'2-5'6

[Anonymous]

It is considered either short or average depending on your location.

[Dan-Senpai]

Your a little under, try aiming for 5'5. I'm 6'1 and that would be a little short for my perferences.

[Anonymous]

short 5'6" - 5'8" is average for your age. Maybe a 35 -45 year old lady that would be average for her generation

[Klaatu51]

for my standards you're a midget LOL

[jenny17]

LOL why? HOW TALL ARE YOU?
WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN? jk but seriously why?

[Klaatu51]
