are you happy with yr height?

[beth]

comes from a conversation we were having in hxhd really.

are you happy with yr height? do you wish you were taller/smaller?

i am 5'3 (on a good day) and i've wished for a long long long time i could be taller. i'm 21, so it's very unlikely i've got any more growing to do. infact the last time i actively got any taller was when i was 13 (2003)...

how about you?

[jasey]

As you know already, I am 5'11'' but I will repeat it there for the benefit of HxF. I am very happy with my height, although I tend to be the less dominant guy in relationships and sometimes it gives prospective dates a complex if I am shorter than them. For dating purposes, it would be better if I was a bit shorter. Still, it is good to be above average.

I am twenty-one too so my growing is done. I hit the body changes early and stopped growing when I was still a teenager!

I used to grow 3 Inches every year when i was starting high school at 15. I was 5'3" at 15, 5"6 and 16, and 5'9" at 17, and at the age of 19 today i've stopped at 5'10" so yea im happy with my height-

[geo]

Um, well I'm 14 and I'm 5'7'' so I may grow more. I like my height as I'm not too tall or too short. I used to be quite short and found the tall people quite intimidating so I am glad I've grown. :P

i kinda find this, not everyone really because i like to think i'm loud enough and have enough of a personality to shine through over taller people, but when i'm in queues or in a crowd i do generally feel idk at risk LMAO. infact i was somewhere in a queue last week and some bloke (looked like a gypsy, ngl) pushed me out of the way to get in front and was like MOVE SHORTARSE.

so i was like :( okay then.

Oh my gosh, bless! You need a taller escort with you at all times to beat off the mean giants.

i'm 5'3-5'4" and generally i don't mind at all cause most my friends are the same height. then when i actually get in to town or around other people, they make me feel so small :/ i do sometimes wish i was taller cause all i get is "aww cute" but at least i can put on a pair of heels and bingo. there's a latvian girl in my class, about 6ft and she is so beautiful, literally makes your head turn but i doubt she wouldn't if she was shorter. i dont mind my height until i see taller girls :/
i think tall girls are hot and look so confident but its probably a case of the grass is greener. the only thing i think is bad about height is if your boyfriend is shorter than you or even only a few inches taller.

[Eric]

I'm 16 and i'm 5'11. People always say that i'm tall at my age and blah blah blah. I don't think so |-)

[Lamz]

I'm 5' 10 but I actually feel like I should be taller...

Sometimes when I'm walking down the road & I see some1 who I think is tall I kinda do a height judementation as I walk past them and I end up being/feeling as if I'm the same height as them so idk...

People say I'm tall but with my brother being 6'3 I feel tiny :(

[Mathew]

Hahahaha this thread is so cute. I'm 6'3" and I've always been one of the tallest in my year so I dont really know any different! :P I do like it though! :)

[Chris]

I'm 5'11". I would like to be a little taller, but I'm not that bothered!

[GirlNextDoor15]

17 and 5'4. I wish I am taller but meh. i'm old already

[wixard]

I'm 5'4 and a half.....
I love my height, I like shortish boys like 5'8 or 5'9 so it works out well

[Mikey]

I'm 6'3 and yeah i'm generally happy with my height. :)

[Neversoft]

Pretty much. I'm like 5'10", so a very average height, but I can't really imagine myself being any smaller or taller and I don't wish to.

[beth]

out of interest, does anyone have any average heights for like girls/boys anywhere?

i never noticed my height in school and all my friends from birmingham are around my height with the tallest being around 5'6 and the smallest (my best friend) being 5'0. but when i went to college and uni i found everyone to be incredibly taller. my best friend at uni (girl) was 5'11.

interesting apparently at 16 average height for a girl is 5'3.5 and 25+ 5'4.5 hmmm.

[Inseriousity.]

lol 5'3 on a good day? on a bad day, you get smaller? what do you do, shuffle around on your knees? :P

I don't know my exact height cos it's not really something I'm fussed about. That's because I'm okay with my height. It's not really something you can change so I tend not to worry about things outside my control :D

NO LIKE if i stand up really straight and like make my neck like a gee-raffe then i am just over 5'3 but if like im standing just normal it smore like 5'2 and a half LMAO :(

[Jazz]

im 17 and im about 6ft - 6ft 1. but i swear im shrinking, it feels like it. I want to be smaller, I hate being tall lols

[xxMATTGxx]

I'm 5'8"/5'9" and I'm fine with my height. Have no complaints to be honest! :P

[Vause]

I'm 5ft 5. I like it. Quite an average height. Wouldn't want to be any shorter :)

[MKR&*42]

I'm 16 and i'm 5'11. People always say that i'm tall at my age and blah blah blah. I don't think so |-)

This pretty much^ Same height, same age, same opinion :P

I'd love to be 6ft though aha.

[Cerys]

I'm 5'8ish, and it's an okay height.
My 'best' friend is 5'11 so likee :P

[Empired]

I'm only just 5'3 and I'm one of the shortest in my year. I don't particularly like it, but I couldn't imagine being anything but short tbh..

[Samantha]

Im 17 and I'm 5 foot.

I haven't been that bothered about my height, people just think I am an easy target but that's generally not because of my height that's because I didn't have much of a backbone and couldn't really laugh stuff off when I was younger.

Anyway, being my height can have benefits, I can get on a bus without a pass for under 11 so I pay half fare.

Can have limitations though like if I want to buy a lottery ticket and this guy observing this ride the other year asked how old I was and he didn't believe I was 16, (you have to be 12 to ride) they asked my sister too but didn't ask my cousin when he's youngest.

My boyfriends 6 foot 2 though, so there's a big height difference but I don't really care, only ever seen one girl look at us when we were in town together but I'm not fussed about that, he can protect me, woo!

I don't really care about being taller.

[brandon]

I'm 5'10, I wouldn't mind being a couple of inches taller but I'm not that bothered.

[Jurv]

i'm 16 and around 5'7.

i've not really got any problems with my height, it would be nice to be a little taller but i don't mind.

[Chippiewill]

6'3 and it feels good. It's like being a periscope, you can see everything.

[velvet]

5'9 and ******* love it

[Catchy]

Am I ****! I'm 5ft5" and I'm 19 it's so funny because all my girl friends tower over me when we go out clubbing in their heels!

[Jordan]

I don't have a clue what I am but I'm not tiny anyway like on the upper end of 5 foot. I would love to be slightly taller though

[Rozi]

I'm 5'6" and I wish I was like 2/3 inches taller.
I want to be tall, but not like giant level

[Lee]

Im 5'11 and its fine for me :)

[Chris]

Im 6'11 and its fine for me :)

Thats insanely tall. Are you sure?...

[Lee]

Thats insanely tall. Are you sure?...

Whoops lmao I meant 5'11 ;)

[Red]

I'm like 5ft 5/6. I was always the shortest in my year until i eventually grew at 16 haha. I like my height :)

[orientalframe?]

i'm like 5'8, personally quite happy with my height :)

[wiktoria]

i'm 5'8 or 5'9 and i'm 15. in year 7 i hated being tall because i was like the tallest person in my year it was so sad :( i don't mind now though.

[Describe]

I'm 5'6 but I'm hopeful I will reach 5'8 or so by the time I'm 21.

Off topic: What's with the 'yr' instead of 'your'?

i dunno what's with you being called describe? is there some kind of rule in place that i can't use yr?

on topic before some kind of moderator beats me: i am surprised at how tall some people on this forum!

[David]

5'11 at 18, not too bad. Apparently still to grow though.
doesn't bother me being this height, and in high school there were people taller than me, my age.
one guy was 6'4 lolol.

[dirrty]

i'd like to be a few inches taller (think i'm 5ft9/10? - i'd haven't measured my height in so many years so idk). but i'm fine being at my height tbf

[Amberr]

i'm 17 and 5ft4, i'm happy with my height tbh as i would say i'm sort of middle height. Even though i wouldn't mind maybe being a few inches taller ;)

[,Jess,]

I used to hate my height because I was one of the tallest at school but I stopped growing when I was like 14 for some reason im 5'6/7" I'm surprised though because my mum is 6ft and my dad was taller so idk what happened to me would like to be a tiny bit taller

[Hollie]

I'm like 5ft4 and i'm 16 so i might still grow a bit yet ;) would like to be a bit taller but i'm not really that bothered
