Answer 1

Think yourself lucky, I'm the same age as you and only 4ft 11". I don't think there's anyway you can speed up your growth. You just have to except you height, which is kinda depressing for all the really short, and also the really tall.

But remember your only 15 and you've probably not stopped growing yet. Theres still hope for a little more height.

And don't listen to what peole say, no-bodys perfect.  

Answer 2

Girl i'm 4"11 and Im about to turn 18 on Labor Day. Some people are just meant to be short. You might get a growth spurt like my cousin did or you just might be short like me. You know that girls don't stop growing until they hit 21 so you have plenty of time to grow. I know it's hard but you will get through it.

Answer 3

I am sixteen also and the same height. well, i'm an inch taller. You just have to learn to be happy with your body the way that it is, even though that it can be a hard thing to do. If you wanted to improve opon your weight that is one thing. I think 107 lbs is perfect for your height though, maybe even a bit small. However, you sound healthy and a nice size so I would try to learn to love it.

Answer 4

I'm 21 and 4ft 11". I understand why it bothers you but trust me it does get better! People will stop making fun of you if you laugh along with them or make jokes about it before they have the chance too. I know its frustrating now but as you get older it gets quite flattering because people think you are younger than you are. The best thing about it is you attract really nice men who think you are cute and want to protect you!

Answer 5

It's called genetics, dear.   My family is all very tall, yours is all very short.

Yes, you are DOOMED because there's nothing you can do about it but accept it.

BTW, the best way to stop the teasing is to make a joke of it all.

They say, for example, you're a mouse, you say sweek,sweek.

No, sorry, you will never be a runway model.

Answer 6

u can always wear heels but im 12 and 5'2'' i wish i cud b shorter

Answer 7

there's nothing wrong with being a little short.

Answer 8

why is being short such a bad thing?

Answer 9

i'm 17, and i'm only 5'2"

it's not so bad, you know, cause you'll nearly always be with guys who are taller, so you feel all protected :)

also, the best things come in small packages :)

Answer 10

im 5'2 and i'm 15 but i'm sure im not goign to grow anymore because the doctor told me that my growth plates were almost closed when i got an x ray the other day when my mom thoguth tath i had broken my shoulder(long story) also irish but my parents are 5'5 adn a half and 5'7 and a half but on my dad's side my grandma was only 5 foot and my grandpa is only about 5'3 and im taller that my aunts on that side.

anyways you are definately not obesse that is a pretty normal weight

but it really depends on the amount of muscle you have

and yes you are most likely doomed and probably received your mother's genes. there is a slight possibility that you grow.

Answer 11

but ur'll still grow who noees maybe by the time your sixteen you will grow as the same height as your mum aor something!!!  

Answer 12

Answer 13

and it's ok being short, i have always wanted to be short. lol

Answer 14

5'1 is a good height. I could understand if you were 4'10

Answer 15

No there is doing you can do. If you haven't reached puberty, your lucky you still have an chance. But if you started puberty early your doomed. But there is nothing wrong with being short. I'm 5'3 and my little sister is 7 years younger than me and is 5'10

Answer 16

I am 5ft 2" and totall happy, rather that than really, really tall

Answer 17

Some girls height are different. I'm 5'7' at the age of 24.5 years old and my sister who is 22 years old is 5'10''. I'm the shrimp in my family. 5'1'' is not short, it is a normal size. My dad is 6 ft and my mom is 5'10'', I'm in the middle of them.  

Answer 18

i am 15 and i am 5'9 and 145 lbs

i think im fat too

but im wayy to tall

u wanna swap? lol id love 2 be shorter

Answer 19

i'm 16 and i'm 5ft 1 there is nothing wrong with being small i love it =] x

Answer 20

being short isnt bad. im 14 and im 4'11 and im not even the shortest person in my highschool and im a freshman. theres girls who are at least 2 or 3 inches shorter than me and dont care about height. nobody makes fun of them. and alot of them have boyfriends. (plus im sure boys like shorter girls because it brings out their protective instinct.) and tall girls kind of intimidate them a little.

seriously would you rather be 7ft and taller then practically everybody or 5'1 and shorter then most but not all people?

Answer 21

Sounds like your gunna take after your mum. By the time you reach about 18 you will probly be the same hieght as her, 5'3 is not that bad, im 5'3 and im 20, im happy being that height, ive never had ay problems with it either, you just have to learn to accept it :)

I think you are around the perfect wieght for a person your age, maybe even a pound or two under weight :)

Answer 22

shawn johnson is like 4'9 and 16 and freaking talented. so s***w you freak

Answer 23

try jumping & streching everyday

i think you got your mommies genes,

cause preety soon your ganna stop growning

Answer 24

You're height is fine, everyone is different. You may still grow , we stop at 18.  Just try to be confident with what you have, there are many worse things in life than being small!

You are not overweight, just try to ignore the bullies, Good luck!

Answer 25

your hight is based on genetics, you can not make yourself more taller.

sounds like you are taking after your mom and not your dad...

Answer 26

Aaaargh!! Please!! Stop complaining you're too short, its only in your head, I swear!! My mom and I are both small, but I never think of myself that way. If you want to give it a positive spin, call yourself petite, but not short, ok?? Short people are people that are afflicted with dwarvisnism. Not people that are 5ft 1. Oh, and by the way? You're a teenager. Its normal for teens to b**ch about their weight, their hair, their height (um, its actually normal for women in general) but you are who you are, you won't change it, so stop wearing down your self-esteem all by yourself, okay? There's generally a shortage of that in teen years. Feel at home in your own skin and happy being who you are, and its all you need. (and if you really want a good spin, I can assure you, tall girls make most guys feel unconfident. Whereas we, all tiny and cute, bring out their protective instinct. And if you're wondering, that's a good thing.)
