Q: Im Only 5 Foot 6!
asked by: Kaoite on November 6th, 2005

Im 15 and male and im 5 foot 6. I turned 15 in august, and im a sophmore. Everyone in my grade and even the 9th graders are all at least my height or taller. Most people are about 5 9 to 5 10 at least at my school. My dad is only 5 6 and my mom is 5 2, do I have any potential to get any taller? My half brother whose mom is 5 foot 4 is 6 foot tall. My full blooded sister is 5 foot. The average height for males on my moms side is about 5 10 - 5 11, on my dads side the average is about 5 8. Is there any chance for me or am I stuck being short?

5'6 isn't that short, but I wouldn't worry about it. I was the shortest of my friends at 15. Now im 5'10 and tallest in my famliy.

I don't know that there's anything you can really do about it. I think I grew a little in the past couple years because I started eating healthier and working out more, but it's probably just in my head. I haven't actually measured myself.

I know it seems tough now, but hang in there. It is personality and charm, and wit that makes you a bigger person, not size.

That is such a stupid question, that is like being 5 and asking "am I gonna grow anymore" you are only 15, you are going to grow. Maybe not a whole lot, but you will! Just calm down, who cares how tall everyone else is! They prolly just had growth spurts at different times then you! Everything will be fine! :-)

I used to be worried about my height back in the day. I am also 5'6'' and havent grown since 6th grade. I am now 21, and I have had relationships with 2 girls who were 5'10''. Trust me man, most girls like shorter guys and the ones that dont, well you probably would find out sooner or later that they werent what you were looking for in the first place. In a few years youll realize its not so bad, just dont hope to be a career athlete someday.
