    I actually don't take notice of height unless someone is unusually tall or short.

    I am sure that would be a different story if I was on one of the extreme ends.

    (Shall refrain on commenting on Ashleigh's previous post out of fear of Matt.)

    I'm pretty short. And stocky.

    That's about it.

    As would I. In high school, I had a friend who was 5' tall, and I always wished we could switch heights...

    And all of you with younger siblings who are taller than you, I'm right there with you. I'm the second oldest of eight siblings, and out of all of them, the only ones who are not taller than me are 9 and 12...and they're almost my height already, so give them a few years, and I'm sure they'll be taller than me, too.

    thats a big jump....4'6 to 6'1....
    I'm about 5'6, I'm a couple inches taller than my mom and a tiny bit shorter than my dad, but I'm practically his height.
    I like my height for the most part, I seem to be on the taller end of average
    though I hated my height until now because I seemed to be taller than all the guys, but they all hit growth spurts so I'm good ;)

    I've got you beat, my 12 year old neice is taller than me! Don't even MENTION my nephew, he's 15 and growinggrowinggrowing...I haven't been taller than him in YEARS.

    Trust me, it sucks lol. I get so sick of being referred to as "small". Short jeans are too long, I have to stand on tip toe to reach simple stuff 90% of other adults can reach, people condescendingly pat me on the top of my head all of the time (or even worse, rest their arms on my head lmao), if the chair is too high up or the seat too deep, my feet swing instead of touching the ground/floor, etc.

    It's so awful! I would go as far as to say my height is by far my biggest physical insecurity.

    I'm pretty average height but I'm around giant freaks all day so I got a inferiority complex >.<. I'm about 1.70 (wait, looking for inches conversion in google...) 5'7" that is. mumbles about how the imperial system is weird and stuff
    I do that with my shorter female friends. It's funny for pictures.:rolleyes:

    I think it's funny usually! But sometimes it is a little embarrassing, depends on who does it, it can be condescending a bit at times.

    I have a female friend in the Air Force who is tall, insanely pretty, and she has the most ideal teeth I've ever seen in real life. Most girls at my last base were jealous of her....with good reason, lol!

    She reminded me of Barbie, to be honest!

    Unless you're in elementary school or in Indonesia, I can't see you being taller than all the guys. You sure the measurements are right?

    I was usually the shortest guy on nearly every basketball team I played on, and I'm 6'4. And ironically white people rank higher than black people in height in North America.
