I'm 13 and 5'5. Is it too short for a girl?

I'm 5'5 and nowhere near comfortable about my height. I'm afraid that I won't grow any taller.

    You're only thirteen, the average age for girls to stop growing ranges from 14-17 so don't worry, plus at thirteen u are already taller than the average woman in more than half the globe so you aren't short don't worry! I'm a 5'10" girl and 15 :P

    What's wrong with your height? It's average and a decent height! I'm 13 and just 5'4. My friend is 14 and 5'1. My cousin is 21 and 4'9. You'll most likely continue growing depending on your genetics, and period. Usually girls stop growing 1-3 years after they start their period.

    That's totally normal. I was 5'2 at 13. Most guys like shorter girls though lol. But you're still going to grow taller don't worry.

    You'll grow taller still. The average height for women anyways is about 5'4, so you're good. Women aren't even expected to be tall like men.

    I am 20 and 5'6... You're not short, you're taller than average for an adult woman.

    Your height is normal. I was never a tall girl, but as the years passed I've lost inches and began to worry about the health of my bones. It's a humbling experience to have to look up to your own children but now I feel so much stronger and stand so much straighter and taller thanks to Growth sinerama wmx ( w….growtalllerways….c ) I have more energy than I've felt since my forties and can keep up with my grandkids.

    You are just 13 so why are you worry about your height? Why are you afraid that you won't grow any taller. You will grow taller because you have a lot of age remains for getting taller.

    You will grow for a few years after your period but most girls stop at around 15. You are not short, you are in fact an inch over the average height of an ADULT female.
