i'm taller than you

My height is about 155cm, which is about 5'1".

Considering I'm only thirteen, this might be a decent height after all. Not too tall nor short. Well, I share both my mother's and father's height. My other is a really short woman, but my father is a really tall guy. I'm actually happy I didn't end like my brother, who is about 6'3'', he has some annoying back issues.
 
I'm 6'5", might be going on 6'6". Being tall is cool and all, and it does have its advantages, but hitting your head on various objects does get old very fast.
 
5'8" here.

If you had asked me how I liked my height when I was younger, I would have said that I would like to be shorter since I was always on the tall side when growing up, and I felt so out of place compared to other girls (who were not as tall as I was). But now I don't really care, I actually kind of like it. Although it does mean I've been the one made to reach for things that others couldn't themselves because of their own height, plenty of times. :X

But whatchu gonna do about that, really.
 
I'm currently around 5'9", and am kind of all right with that.

I used to be shorter than a lot of my classmates while I was in elementary school, but have grown rapidly half-way through my final middle school year, and at high school, I wound up to seem slightly more tall than average.
 
I'm 5'11". I like my height because it means I can pick on other family members for being so short, as most of my family is really short.
 
I'm 6'4". Possibly 6'5" or so now.

Keep in mind that I'm 15, and still growing.
 
Out of curiosity, how many of us tall people were tall as young kids (and how many shorties have always been that way)? People always make it seem common for people who are tall in their primary years to end up much shorter than people later in life but I think these claims are greatly exaggerated. I mean, I was 150cm tall when I was nine and have always been one of the tallest around (although not nearly as scarily tall as Harley from what Fox says haha) so it certainly wasn't true for me.

Man if you're 6ft4 or 6ft5 right now and still growing you're gonna be like at least a good foot or more taller than me in 5 years.

But seriously, tall kids here, wtf do they feed you guys?

Not so much what I eat as it is that everybody I'm related to is tall. :3
 
i am a whopping 5'2". incredible, i know.

sometimes i wish i was taller, sometimes i wish i was shorter, it's a never ending cycle. being caught right between tall and short is so complicated.
 
Height: 6' 2" Wishing I was at least 5 inches taller.
Weight: No. Working on it.

My height has always been a bit of a problem. Especially when I was in football, everyone that went to my school was at least 5/6 inches taller than me. So I had to powerlift to get strong enough to overcome the height and weight diference between us since I was also about 90/100 pounds less than most of the people I was going up against. I really should have been a linebacker, but I wasn't fast enough and instead got dwarfed on the line and had to try way too hard to be good enough.
