Is 5'7 tall for a girl? I'm from South East Asia.

Question

I'm currently turning 16. o_o. In class, I'm the tallest girl... I feel short because my male classmates are about 5'5-5'11... I'm not really thin...and I'm fat. (BIG but not fat...according to my classmates...) And in the measuring meter or whatever...it says I'm 5'7.5. But when I measure myself in centimeters, I'm 171-172, and thats 5'6.7 ... Im not really sure about my height. But am I considered tall?

Answer 1

No, actually I hoping to be that tall when I turn 32 right now I am 29 years old.

Answer 2

Yes, you're tall & will get taller as you grow. I guess by the time you're 20, you'll probably be 3" taller, that puts you in 5'10"... really tall for a gal (I'm a guy & I'm 5'10"). But don't fret too much, there are plenty of taller guys around these days, I've asian teenagers working beside me that are much taller than I am (like 6'2"/ 6'3")... guess I've got someone else to look up to now... lol :D

Answer 3

I'm 176,  and I'm considered tall, but does that really matter?

Answer 4

I believe that is pretty tall.  Here in Finland the average height of women is 5'4 or 163cm.  And 5'7.5 is 171-172cm.

Answer 8

Quite tall for Southeast Asia, but not a giant. Have no fear, I'm 5'10" and female. Aside from having a great deal of difficulty finding size 12 shoes that don't look like boats, it's not a problem :)
