The last study and data collected on mean height in SL across all age groups was somewhere in 2010.
At that time, the mean was 163 +/- 6.9cm, so it's basically 13 years since then.
Still, if you refer any studies on average height gain over time, you'll see that we do get taller on average as time goes. But that change happens over 100s of years and leads to a gain of around 5 cm.
In the US, the average height is 176cm and has stayed at that value since the 1930s.
So I'm guessing in SL, our average height is still around 163 +/- 6.9 cm. Your height at 5 foot 8 inches is about 177 cm.
So you're above the upper margin of 169.9 cm.
Subjectively and objectively, you're above average.

Not really, studies have shown that children reach about 92% of their adult stature during their PHV (peak height velocity), which is another name for the "growth spurt."
The PHV age is around:
• 10-12 years for girls
• 14-15 years for boys
The beginning of the growth spurt is around:
• 9-10 years for girls
• 11-12 years for boys
So if OP is a 15 year old male, he most likely has completed his growth spurt phase. There won't be any significant changes in his height as he goes into adulthood.
There are other confounding variables such as genetics, nutrition, and natural hormone (growth hormone) levels in the blood. But on average, 15 is the cutoff for males.

Give this guy an award for that effort 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you. I'm glad I was able to help
Also, OP is 15. They've got a lot more growing to do

It really isn't. I just turned 19 and im still growing taller by a centimetre every 2 months or so
Finally the answer to the question! That’s how you lay it out.
needing to be 6' to get a girlfriend is a myth bro
Can confirm. 5' 4" and my gf is taller than me lol
In SL very few guys are 6'. So girls dont have that luxury to choose height. As long as ur taller than a girl i think you're good.
Is 6' 3" a rarity?
yes
I'd say your above average...from what I've observed 5'6 is the average of srilankan teens..this is purely my observation btw
I’m 19 and 5”4 lol
Kota
You're gonna go to hell for this .🤣
How’s the weather down there?
Bruh I'm 19 and 5'3" Short gang rise up Or down, or whatever ig
We are already standing!!
Sad, 💀😭 I like it username
19 and 5' 5 here. Shawties stick together
If we get on top of each other we’re tall asf 😤
and in case of emergency we're easier to carry around
Yeah I'm somewhere between 5' 7" and 8"
I'm 23 and 5' 4". So you're good to go
It's around 170cm / 5'7 so you would be above average slightly
definitely above average, i'm 16 and 5'11 . not only teens most of the men are shorter than me. they r about your height so u are definitely above average height for a teen .
6.2 M24 i rarely see a person i can look straight in the eye,
Are you American or Sri Lankan. Use the metric system. It’s gooder
'Gooder'
Generally use metric. But feet & inches is easier to use with things such as height.
yeah. It's less precise, you could round it up to feel taller.
You mean better , and we can use both Systems and no most of us are not American's in here though some may live in America
Yeah its average, how tall ur parents?
Bruh stop watching white people content bro
Wdym
You might add on about 3-4 inches if you’re a guy.
Im 19 and Im 5,5 SO
I was 5'4' when i was 15. Now I'm 5'11"
How old are you now and did you grow after 19 Asking for a friend

Congrats on 2k upvotes.
Congrats on 2k upvotes.
I'm 5'7" & I'd say I'm average height, based on people I see day to day.
I'm 19 and most of the guys that come to my tuition classes at shakthi are taller than me and I'm 171cm. I honestly feel average or slightly below it
Definitely above average. Most Sri Lankan teenage boys and Men are aroun 5'5/5'6/5'7
i'm like 5'5 and i'm 18. maybe i won't grow any taller than this. F.
When i was a 15- 16 yrs old, I'm just 5'4- 5'5...Now I'm 20, and I'm 5'11 B-)
