I'm not as tall as you, but I'm taller than my History teacher this year, and my Computers teacher last year. I'm a foot under your height, 5' 3 (63 in.).

*sigh* I remember when being 6 feet was considered tall, but now I'm surrounded by people around my height. So I guess I'm at an average height for an 18 year old.

I am tall, compared to most adults running around at school. Compared to your average child, I'm a bit short. 1,70 metres at 16 years old. I don't seem to be growing any further. Ah well, at least I don't bump my head against the doorframe.

13 and 5'11

[Wolfie]

17 and 5ft 11" to 6ft.
Pretty much average height. I don't think i'm gonna be getting any taller though
At least i'm already the tallest in my family though

This is a very unusual topic, so I just have to post: I'm 6'2"

[gamer10]

Actually the official average is several inches under six feet for American males at least. I'm five-nine.

I still have several years to grow yet though, and I'll probably be able to hit six feet before i stop.

Hmm..not that tall.....170cm.....one of YOU translate that into american or english measures!

Well, one foot equals 30.48 cm, and one inch is 2.54 cm. So you'd be approximately 5'7".

My own growth seems to have come to a complete halt now, with me having reached a height of 185 cm / about 6'1". I've been around that height for the last five years now, so I'd say it's highly unlikely that I'll become any taller.

Minque is 3 inches taller than me - I am only 5'4" which I think is considered short for a female nowadays.

I used to model junior-petite fashions for young teens when I was in my twenties - so yes, I am short. Gotta just accept it. I would rather be taller. My hubby is 5'11 1/2" and I think there are many advantages to being taller.

I can also see that there are advantages to using the metric system, it seems simpler than feet and inches ... but unfortunately, I don't know metric at all. I guess I could learn it.

[The Metal Mallet]

Even though at school we use the metric system all the time, I still can't picture people height and people weight/mass in metric. Like a centimetre is so small, and then a metre is big, and then no one uses decimetres so it's hard to see metric measurements on people. A foot just seems like a suitable length, though conversion-wise, Imperial is terrible to work with.

As for grams vs pounds (lbs), it's a little easier since I know that 44lbs is about 20kgs. I know that because the bags of salt I sell have both measurements

I'm 5'6 and 16 years old. I used to think that I was tall for a girl, but I'm the shortest one in my family next to my mom. My 13 year old sister is taller than I am!

[vaanic~one]

17 and 6'4.

[canis216]

22 years old, 6 feet tall. In athletics I play bigger, even though I'm not much of a leaper, because I've got an armspan of probably 6'3'' or 6'4''.

Being relatively tall has advantages and drawbacks. Having long arms is almost exclusively useful. My fellow rock climbers get jealous.

[Khajiit Overlord Rainer]

16 and 6'4''.

[Pisces]

6'2" and I'm 18/19 (can't let Ibis know which). Being tall has drawbacks? Less balance but long armspan and being able to tower over people totally cancels that out.
