I honestly feel like I'm kind of short, compared to all of my friends. I'm 5'8" 1/2(yes you gotta get the half in there) and all of my guy friends are either 5'10" or taller. I'm 15. Is this a good height for my age?

"Good" for your age is whatever height you are. It's genetics, not much you can do about it.
I am 16, and I am 5' 8". And will always be that height, I think I have quit growing.
My dad is 6'2", and my brother is over 6 feet. But I got the short genes.
Nothing to be done about it, so just enjoy who you are and what you are. At 15, you might still grow some. But really, accept who you are now, and if you grow more, then cool.

So it's a good height I think, and as Jaffe said, you can't do anything, it's genetics.

Trust us! You're gonna be fine, okay? Your height is normal for you. I was the exact same height for the first like 11 months of being 15 years old. You still have time to grow!
As a matter of fact, I know more 20 year olds who are 5'5" than 5'8".

I've got the same problem, all of my friends are like your height or taller, and then i'm down here at 5'1" xD
I wouldn't worry tho, 5'8" is a good height, plus you could still grow some more c:

you are what you are and there isnt much you can do about that. I am the same age and about the same height, but who knows, I may grow some more, then again, I may not -- same goes for you.

My younger brother is also 15 and around the same height as you. I'd say its a good height. I'm 17 in a few weeks and a little over 6' but my family is all rather tall

Yeah it's a good height, I'm really wondering cause I'm only 5' 9" and most of my friends are smaller than me :P.

The reality is that there will always be people taller than you, but there will always be people shorter than you. You seem to be average height, and you seem fine for someone your age. Your height is perfect because it is pretty easy to find clothes at your height as opposed to the bigger guys. Also, guys your height don't have as much trouble sitting in smaller cars and in back seats of coupes. If anything, a lot is working in your favor, and I would not fret about your height because you are honestly average and are not short by any stretch of the imagination. It gets frustrating to appear to be short among your friends, but they are slightly above average. Because you're only 15 there is a good chance you still can grow a little bit.

A bit on the short side, but there's nothing wrong with that. You're close to average
