[novella]

I'm 5'3. While I'd love an extra inch or two, I'm happy with my height.

 

[seanutbutter]

I'm 5'1". The worst part about being that height is finding clothes that fit me.

 

[yellowetpink]

I'm 5'3" and would like to be 5'6"

 

[caroollss]

Nobody seems to be happy with their height, the short ones want to be taller, and the taller like that 6.5 girl want to be....taller???!!!!

 

[yellowetpink]

I don't know. Maybe she got it a bit wrong? lol

 

[xPedro]

[RubyJewelStone]

I'm 5'1" at almost 17. The way I figure, I'm not growing anywhere! *sigh*

how are you 6.5 and wnt to be taller???

Maybe she meant 65 inches aka 5'5"? Whatever she meant, don't be greedy! Someone needs to donate some inches to me.

I'm almost 18 now, but last summer I was 5'8, and now I'm 5'9.25!! I thought I was done growing since I was 17, but it turns out I was wrong! So don't give up hope so easily!!

 

[modelbehavior228]

Still 5'9" 1/2 over here :whistle:

 

[jealous hearts]

I'm 5'6". I'm perfectly content with my height, but would love if I could grow just one more inch, though I don't know if it would be healthy with my current BMI

 

[spiritedwildfire]

5'8" A decent height, wouldnt mind being 5'9" though, but I'm pretty sure I'm done growing.. I am 24 already

I am 19 and only 4'11. It only came back recently from my bloodtest that my testosterone level is rather high for a female, and reserch shows that testosterone can block growth. (All that milk and exercise for nothing!) Not to say that I hate myself, but I am terribly uncomfortable with being short. I hate that everyone who meets me always trying to measure me against them, or anyone they could think of. They assume they have the right to ask for my height, make comment about my height, and ask for my age. I work in a very competitive enviroment, and trust me, it is five times harder for people like me. It also seem like because I'm short, people tend to not think of me as a person. I recently signed up for fencing class (and I had been fencing my whole life due to my grandfather, but I actually want to take formal training) and the guy looked at me like: are you sure you can do it? I won't even start on finding clothes. I have an hour glass figure but because of my height, my legs look like big turkey legs.

Another thing is that I am an art major. I carry a lot of stuff, and quite frankly, being taller would do me so much good because I would be more capable of carring a tripod, drawing board, etc. I don't like getting special treatments because of my height. So imagine people having to move away or checking with me to see if "can you see?...can you reach?"

The respect issue is...nvm. I hate to say it, but it's true that people will tend to act carelessly around you if you appear to be short. Also, shortness is always "cute", not beautiful. I'm not a girl anymore, and having someone telling me I'm cute is irritating. I used to be a face model, but I was unable to actually become a model due to my height sufficiency. It's not a problem since I never thought about actually working as a model. But it is hard living in a height-obsessed culture. They make pants for tall girls, but for girls who are petit, the pants are still too long. Plus, it is worse if you have curves and you're short, because...good luck! The best option is tailor clothes.

There are tall girls who would rather be shorter, but they don't want to be short. I rather be a giraff than a dwarf because I hate being made fun of. Especially since I don't know how to tell them it is very rude and inconsiderate. They always laugh it off as in like :"What? Why do you even care?" Honestly, this is the same people who would get offended if I say that I don't like their makeup brand.

^ I am sorry to hear that.. I am sure it's hard to deal with inconsiderate people. That's very childish of them. On the other hand, extremely tall people are made fun of as well. Once I was on the train and there was a very, veryyyy tall woman who got on and everyone was staring at her and talking amongst themselves. I too was shocked at how tall she was but I would never say anything bad about it. I was always the tallest girl in my class in middle school and hated it, I'm 5'9 now and everyone has seemed to catch up. Short or tall, whichever it is.. it's fine to me. As it has been said many times before on this thread, people are never content with what they have. You have air in your lungs, a full life ahead of you.. there is a lot of expieriences to have.. be happy

 

[kalli]

5'5" and I`m finally happy with it,but I would like longer legs.

 

[ashtray___girl]

I'm 5'1'' and ohhh I wish I was taller, but it could be worse. I was always way behind the curve on the growth chart when I was a kid and I eventually saw a height specialist who took a bone age test and a blood test and predicted that without growth hormones I would never grow past 4'10''. I was about ten and I remember crying and crying and crying... But my mother decided she didn't want me to end up being seven feet tall or having a third ear on my face from the hormones, and I never got the treatment (I didn't want it, I had succumbed to my 4'10'' legal midget fate). But I'm nineteen now and 5'1'' so shows them, they probably were fear mongering for the money. I'd love to be 5'4'' even but I'll take what I can get.

Also, my boyfriend bought me some calcium pills (Concerned about future osteo perosis, I'm not sure, he's amazing) and I've grown to about 5'1.5'' now so I can round up to 5'2''!

 

[castorpollux]

5'9 1/4" (but if i was an actor I'd just wear boots all the time and say 5'11")

 

[moirla]

I believe I'm 5'8" right now.
