I found a great deal on some shreditor 102's and they seem like a perfect ski fpr me. I ski at jay peak in vermont and mostly skis tight trees, powder, moguls, and steep groomers. First of all, do you think this ski is a good choice? I like to ski agressivley and i am advanced.

Secondly, i am 6 feet 145 lbs a teenager and really skinny. This will be my first fatter ski also. Should i get the 179 or 189? Do these skis ski short and normal?
 
Based on what NSers have recommended to me on here, I'd say go for the 189 if you're 6 feet tall. They were saying around 175 is ideal for 5'8''.
 
I'm the same height and weight as you and would describe my skiing as the same as yours (whatever that means) and I personally feel like these are too soft for me... Like when you're charging they feel way too soft imo, but maybe that's just me! I ski the 179s btw, they really measured 183 when I checked them because I was curious so you'll be fine with those
 
179 for sure. It's not really your height that matter it your weight an strength. You don't weigh much and your younger so won't be driving the ski super hard yet. Because of this the 179 would be fine. As you grow you may want to go bigger or just go for a stiffer ski but for now they will be great.
