it is normal to be 5’3 1/2 at age eleven?

i wanted to know cause my cousin feels like she is short and and will she grow any more because both of her parents are short? how could she grow taller

Chosen Answer:

You are normal. Everyone grows at different paces/ times. I was 5’1 at eleven, and have only grown 3 inches since (I’m 21). My growth stopped completely at 15, even though I went through puberty before all my friends. My friends were all smaller/ less mature than me at that age. Now most of them are A LOT taller, they grew a lot longer than I did. :( Since both of her parents are short, then yes she probably will be. There’s nothing wrong with that. My grandma is 4’11 and proud!

  2. Aye :D [[Suspended]] says:

    Actually that’s a little tall for an 11 year old.

    I was 5’3 when I was 11 and now I am 5’6 (I am 13).

    She will grow like an inch or two more.

    come back when your 18. Everyone grows at different rates. You only just beginning your growth. Once your in highschool, that when you really start growing.

    to answer you question there is no “normal”

    im 17 n im like 5’4 :$ so i guess that’s not bad at all…she’ll grow taller still, she’s got time :) heredity has an affect but diet does as well…tell your cousin to eat healthy as much as she can, especially till she is 14 or 15…its very necessary to eat healthy always but this age is really important for ones growth.
