5'10" Average: Your height is average if we plot it on our American growth Charts. It's determination is largely genetic depending on the height of both of your parents. Your friends are quite tall! These are top percentile heights you are speaking of! Eat healthy and exercise to maximize your height potential, but don't let our height-ist society get you down!
