I'm 5'7.5'' (172 cm) and I live in Brazil. I'm about average here. But I'd like to be taller, and it's driving me crazy! All my idols are taller than me. Jimmy Page is 5'11'', Robert Plant is 6'1'', Roger Waters is 6'4''.

That sucks. Although I'm still 15, my doc told me my bone age was 17 y.o. and I'd grow half an inch or a bit more. Problem is I am on Accutane, and this medicine will probably stunt my growth.

I'd like to know how tall you guys from U.S. are, because my dream of live is living there, and I know that 5'7.5'' is short for an american and average height is 5'11''.

Also, I have potential to be handsome. I'm dark blond, thin, white, my eyes have a close color to my hair, all I need is to get rid of these nasty zits and be at least 5'11'' tall.

Waiting for your advice.

I am 5"10, and i'm 16.

We have really short guys here too, so I wouldn't worry at all. One of my friends who is a guy is 5"4

Would 5'7.75' be a bit short or a short guy? How tall are the girls in US?
