Today the average 17 year old is about 5'11" tall, and weighs close to 200 pounds. These averages have been increasing over the past few decades.

Most height/weight charts do not reflect current realities, but historical numbers that do not hold true any longer. Although it might have been rare to find a 17 year old teen who is was over 6' tall, today it is rather common. All sizes have gone up accordingly. 20 years ago the average shoe size of a 17 year old teen was 8.5. Today it is 11.5. Stores commonly stock sizes 13, 14 and 15 for their younger customers.
