that is a completely useless number.



the average 15 year old male can range from 5'0" to 7'0". most boys range between 5'4" and 6'2". Anywhere in that range can be considered normal. There are variations depending on race AND on geographic location.



Because males reach growth spurts at different times depending on genetics & environmental factors, the average height of a 15 year old is about the same as the average height of an adult human, but unlike adult humans, 15 year old males are not done growing (growth plates for males close ~ age 19 or 20)

While there is a statistical average height for a 15 year old boy, there really is no meaningful answer to your question. These averages vary wildly with different ethnic groups and families within those groups. A Watusi, for instance, might be considered a little on the short side at six feet, while the taller members of some South American tribes fall short of five feet.

Well the website I found says that the average height of a 15-year-old boy in 2002 was 5'8". But in my experience I've found that most boys around 15 are somewhere around 5'6". Maybe it's that I live in a largely Latino community. Most Latins are shorter than caucasians.

It depends. Normally, European and American boys have bigger sizes than those in Asia or Africa. In Asia, it is 1m63 while it is 1m68 in Europe.

































Man, don't think too much about your physical appearance.

there is probably no 'normal height' but im guessing (since i am a girl) that it would be between 5ft5 and 6ft 5
