Is 5'3" a good height for a girl?

[Shivie13]

I'm 5'3" and I've always been told that I'm tall.

[Caylin]

you're 4 inches taller than me and I'm 18 XD, but I am tiny. as you're under 18, it really depends on your age as to whether 5'3" is tall. if you're 17, then kinda not really, but if you're 12, you're quite tall indeed

Yea, you're tall for a midget. Just kidding, its about average.

[SomethingWicked]

Are you 12? 5'3 is a tall height for a girl if you're 12.

[Shivie13]

I'm 14

[SomethingWicked]

Plenty of growing time.

[Shivie13]

I think I've stopped growing in height already. I've been 5'3" for about 3 years.

[SomethingWicked]

Hmmm, get a hormone profile and your thyroid checked. You shouldn't have stopped growing yet, and if you have, you're lacking something.

[cavmanier]

Women usually stop growing two years after their period.

Hard to find but

"The rate of growth in height reaches its peak by about 2 years after puberty began (average age is 12 years)."

Ah okay thank you for the suggestion, and yeah it will be two years since I started my period on the 24th.

[SomethingWicked]

Thanks

[SomethingWicked]

You said you haven't grew in 3 years, therefore I still say hormones/thyroid. Given what you've said.

Overall, people stop growing completely at 21.

[Shivie13]

Alrighty I'll get that hormone profile, and thank you. :)

[cavmanier]

You're slightly below average height. It's a great height (very small compared to me).

you're shorter than me so i'd tell tht you're short... LOL

no offence XD

[PiuBelloAmante]

well if u are 10 and u are 5'3'' you are probably tall for your age but if u are 5'3'' and 18 you probably are a little smaller than average

[slackercruster]

They lied to you.

I'll go for midget up to 7 feet, so 5.3 is fine.

[Anonymous]

5'3" is not tall, you're a shrimp lol. I'm 5'8", plenty of girls taller than I. You are actually quite a bit shorter than the average American woman (5' 4.6") So it's not tall, but it's not super abnormal either.

[J1nnishere]

lol like a lower average id assume but you're still gorwing

[Anonymous]

If it's not what are you going to do about it?

[Shivie13]

Eh nothing

[Blue2]

lol shorty 5' 6'' here :) (im just kidding)
