How commen is it?


How commen is it? I'm 29 I dont have any disorders concerning hight. But I'm like very very short. I'm only 4 foot 10. Is that strange ? Any one out there this short that you know that has already stopped growing, and do not have any height disorders? If so how tall are they? And how old are they?

It just that Im the shortest person in my faimily most evrey one else in my family is at least 5 foot 9 the only person close to my height is my little brother and hes only 13 and he is already 5 foot 4 my mom are 5 foot 11 and my dad is 6 foot 4

height is hereditary, unless you have a disease. 4' 10" although below average height, is not considered abnormal. Put on a pair of heals, put your chin up and don't let anyone intimidate you. Your health,personality, values, morals, how you treat others, etc. is what is important in life, not how tall you are!

its probably just DNA

i don't think that's strange, i think it's normal, i had a friend who his mother was 4 foot 11 and she was in her 40's.

that isn't strange at all hun. it all has to do with your family background. if anyone in your family is that short, then u probaly have one of their genes. don't worry about it. my mom is 39 and she is only 4'11. she is super tiny, but that's what everyone loves about her! i'm already much taller than her but she just thinks that's funny. lol anyways don't worry about it and u are just fine and perfectly healthy. have a nice day! : )

A good majority of the women in my father's side of the family are under 5' tall. (I'm taller at 5' 2".) Genetics play a big part in how tall you are, as well as nutrition growing up. At your age, there isn't much you can do about it, but you knew that already. The average height for women in America is 5' 4". That means there are a LOT of women who are under 5' tall, so your height is pretty common.

I am 5'1", not as short as you but really close. I am 45 years old and stopped growing at 18 (I think). I think you are probably not going to get any taller than you are at 29. It's not bad to be short...no guys are going to be too short for you, you can always hem pants that are too long and people will always think you are cute no matter how old you get...Use this to your advantage...Smart and cute gets you anywhere you want to go:)

as far as your weight is not more than 80-85 lbs, it is normal and you should not worry about your height, because it's a genetic
matter, that's everyone has her/his own height. If you are over weight, you should refer to your doc. and loose your weight up to
normal.

Good luck.

Not very common at your age, but nothing you can do about it.

You're just unlucky -- didn't get the right genes.
