What is the average height for an adult female?

Question:

I know that I probably will not be average, because I'm 14 years old and only 5'1, not very tall. My mom is only 5'2, and my dad is 5'7. My younger sister is 5 ft. The doctor says that she will be taller then me, but how is this possible?

Answers:
Depending on how much younger your sister is, she may end up being taller than you because she might have more years to grow. If you're mom and dad are a little on the shorter side, yes, you will be a bit shorter. But you shouldn't worry because there are lots of guys who think short girls are cute.

Average is 5'5.

I've heard it was 5'4". If your sister is younger, she still has time to grow. That's probably why the doctor said that. I stopped growing around age 11 or 12. I certainly didn't get any taller after I was 14. Some girls do but usually not by much.
