Trijntje Cornelisdochter Keever (April 10 or 16, 1616 - July 22, 1633), nicknamed De Groote Meid (in English, The Big Girl), is the tallest female person in recorded history, standing 9 Amsterdam feet[1] or 2.54 metres (8 ft 4 in)[2] tall at the time of her death at age seventeen.

Trijntje Keever was the daughter of Cornelis Keever and Anna Pouwels. Cornelis was a Dutch skipper and Anna was his maid; he married her on May 24, 1605. Trijntje was born on April 10 or 16, 1616 in Edam.

Trijntje's parents took her to carnivals to earn some money by letting people see her. Trijntje first received public attention when she was nine years old and had reached the height of 2 metres (6 ft 7 in). A royal company consisting of the Bohemian king Frederick V, Elector Palatine, his wife Elizabeth of Bohemia and the princess Amalia van Solms-Braunfels, living in The Hague at the time, visited her, curious about the "nine-year-old girl taller than every man in Europe."[3]

Trijntje died of cancer at the age of 17 in Ter Veen (Veere?). She was buried on July 7, 1633 in Edam, her town of birth. Her epitaph is said to have read, "Trijntje Crelis groote meidt oudt 17 jaer", or, in English: "Trijntje Crelis, big girl, 17 years of age". In the townhall of Edam is a lifesize painting by an unknown artist portraying Trijntje in civilian clothes with a belt holding at her right a keyring and at her left a pincushion and a sheath with a knife, fork, and spoon. Her original shoes are also on display. If there were a size for the shoes, they would be European size 54 (36 cm[4] or 14 in long).

The answer can vary greatly depending on gender and nationality, girls at the age of 14 have practically stopped growing, whereas boys of this age will have probably only started their growth spurt in the last year or so, and will continue to grow until around the age of 18.

The highest average height for women of varying ages, but usually over 17, seems to be 5'6", whereas for men (again with the same variables) it is just over 6'.

What people have observed (If you wish to add things please specify gender and nationality, this is presuming an age of 14 or thereabouts)

• I am 14 years old and I am 5'7'', I am around the middle of all of the people in my school. Most people in my school are around my height but they are all 13 so I would say the average 14 year old height is around 5'7-5'9 But could go anywhere to about 6'4, like my friend

• I am 14 and i am 6ft and am the tallest in my year

• Its hard to say what size people are, everyone is growing at different times. Some 14 year olds are 5'10, while others are 5'2.

• I just turned 14, I'm almost 5'1(I'm 1.54m). I'm a girl. I wouldn't say the average is really tall. For a girl, more like 5'1 - 5'3.

• Well, I don't go by those units, I go by centimeters..... I am 166 cm, so I guess that would be around the average. Actually, in Korea, where I live, a woman's average height right now is 160 cm, so I'm a little over average. A lot of American girls though, are pretty tall, so yeah. Also, I have this one particularly tall girl in my grade that's like 184 or something.... so yeah, it depends.

• In my school I am short. I am 5'7 and I am 14 there are guys like 188 cm-195 cm but i live in Trinidad and Tobago here the average man is about 6'5.

• I play basketball with a 14 year old who is 6'9. He turned 14 in October of 2010.

• I am a 14 yr old girl living in one of the channel islands, I am the tallest in my year and I am 5'9", way over the average height for England although I do not fit into the specified age range.

I turn 14 in just 5 Days, and I am 5'8

For fourteen year old girls, the average height is around 5'5''. For boys, on the other hand, it varies.
