I'm 6'2 seventeen year old and I wish I was shorter.... It's embarrasing when you forget to duck a little bit when getting off the school bus. I banged my head on the roof about 3 time last school year. Didn't help my reputation at a new school either....

I'm one inch taller, and one year younger ;)

I hate brushing my teeth sometimes cause I gotta bend over a lot so I can have a more comfortable position in front of the sink. One time I tried kneeling down, and that was a lot better. I shouldn't have to kneel down to brush my teeth :urg:

Also, when I get in the car, it's really small in there cause it's a coupe, and I have a difficult time getting out. I think one time I had to crawl on my hands and knees to get out! ._.

@nicekid76, don't double/triple post, edit your last post instead of posting a consecutive one.

I'm 16 and 5 foot 5 about 165 cm. When do guys stop growing? I'm about my dads height already which su*ks.

I'm 16 and 5'10". I haven't grown in the last two years though so I am starting to worry. I would like to be 6 feet. I just wouldnt like to fall in love with a girl who is taller than me.

I do something simular. I got a 1995 Honda Accord and I have to grab the roof to slip out sometimes. My knees sometime rub against the wheel when I'm driving...

I have been growing since god knows when. Hopefully it ends soon...

id like to be taller for another reason. its weird when you like a girl your age and go out with her and she is taller than the guy. i know thats a stereotype of relationships and that people could possibly misconstrue that as me being a pig but it just kinda freaks me out when if one day i wanna kiss a girl i have to look up or something

I suppose I'm happy with my height.

5'11" -ish, and 15, which isn't bad in my standards. I'll probably grow very little more, if any, but I suppose it's cool. :(

I'm like 6'2-6'3 personally I'd rather be a bit shorter... Like just 6 would be fine, being really tall isn't really that nice.

I'm 5'9'', but I've never been more than 132 lbs. For two reasons, I wish I were shorter. It's almost average height for a man, but it can be very inconvenient at times, such as when I sleep in a small bed. Second, perhaps it's because I'm so interested in Asian culture that 5'4'' wouldn't seem so bulky.

As for my mass of 132 lbs, it's slim, I know, but I couldn't move around as well if I weighed more. And even though one fair blow would seriously wound me, I'm not at particular risk for coronary heart disease. Pediatricians don't like finding out a child will be taller than between 6'4'' and 6'8'', because it puts a lot of strain on the body.

Same here and I agree. I hit my head all the gods **** time, can't fit comfortably into some cars, and I don't really enjoy constantly looking down at people. And hugging short people? One of the most awkward things ever. It's like, alright, do I kneel down or just let them tree hug me?

You just said "gods" instead of "god". In the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series (films start in 2010), they say "oh my gods" or "thank the gods" because it's based on Greek Mythology, which is polytheistic.

Especially when they don't know how to hug you, so they throw their arms over you, when really they should reach out and like you said, tree-hug you, which is automatically awkward. So many times has that messed up with me, then it's either: situation ends stupidly with a messed up hug, or awkwardly as we re-do the hug (although this is sometimes preferable depending on the person ;)).

Overall though, I enjoy being 6'3".

Let's not forget about awkward slow-dances back in the day. "You are soo tall!"

I'm a female, 15 and i'm 5'2. I hate it.. I'm so short, It's hard to model at that height. I want to be like 5'9 or so.

Am I the only one who likes being short?
I'm 4'9''/4'10''
Since I look young (for a 15 year old) I can get away with doing 'babyish' stuff.:p

I'm 5'4 1/2". Half an inch away from 5'5".
...I told myself when I was younger that I wanted to be at least 5'5" when I was older...
...And I've stopped growing. Ohshi-
