Is 5'2" short for a 15 year old girl?

Question

I'm 5'2", 15 years old, and 111 pounds. I have big thighs which make me look shorter right? My doctor says I'm not going to grow anymore. Every woman in my family that I can think of is on the short side...even the guys. Most of my classmates are taller and call me short, haha.

I don't want to be tall! I was just wondering.

thanks!

Answer 1

You're a bit below average but you're fine. You may or may not grow anymore. I was 5'11 at your age!  

Answer 2

It is on the shorter side, but hey..your short and cute. :]

Answer 3

im 17 and im 5'3 im the shortest out of all my friends

Answer 4

Well, it seems like 5'2 is a "normal" height. I'm 14 and I'm about 5'5... and I weigh about 120. I look really tall, and sometimes it bugs me, but when I think really hard on it, I'm really grateful that I have this height :). However, in your situation, it seems you have a family history of short people, which obviously is the reason why you are short. But your doctor is wrong to say you won't grow anymore, even if you have a family history of short people. Because people stop growing when they land on maturity and stop puberty (which is at about age 18).

Hope that helped

Answer 7

Height varies, but you're on the lower end of the height scale. I think that your height/weight combo makes you what some may call "petite"?

Answer 8

i mean you're not a skyscraper but you are on the smaller side

Answer 9

Answer 10

I'm 5'2" at nearly 18. I've grown an inch in 8years. NOT FUN :/ But i've gotten used to it. I think you're fine at the height you are, i even have a couple of friends shorter.

Answer 11

Answer 12

I was 13 when i reached my maximum height of 5'2"...and i am now 19 and the same height...i have REALLY short legs (28" inseam jeans :( ) and i wear a size 5 shoe...i have been able to wear the same size clothes since the 8th grade and i am going into my junior year of college...don't worry, guys like petite girls because it lets them feel more protective and tall...
