As for me, I'm 5'11".
In 9th grade I was 5'8" and by the end of 11th grade I was 6'4" and 150 lb.
Now I just turn 23 and I am 6'4" and still 150-155lb.I have about 5-6 more years left before gain a lot of wieght really quickly (happens about 30 in my family go from underwieght to overweight in a very short time).
As for my hieght I wouldnt mind being about 2-3 inchs shorter. Then I wouldnt hit my head on so much stuff.

Peyton said:um, because people who are 4'11 might want people to believe they are 6'2 with blonde hair, blue eyes, and 98 pounds. I dunno
Well, I'm 5'2 and weigh 98lbs. and blonde.
5'4".
My boyfriend is 6'10
I live in an area where there are lots of tall people (it's their ethnic heritage). All of my (female) friends are taller than I am, averaging around 5'10. When asked what they want in a guy, the first thing on the list is always "Tall, ..."
And here I am, shortest of all, I've never needed to put "tall" on my list of things I wanted in a guy, yet I end up with Goliath. It's quite ironic.

Ahh, my thread was raped by Doctor Q!!!
I actually saw the old thread, but I decided to leave the past alone since height changes like emotions, or the wind, and I thought it would be a good chance for the youngin's to brag about their evolution...

Growth spurts are not all fun though.. I have nasty growth pains in my knees because I grew too fast.. Osgood-Schlatter disease.

I grew 6 inches in 2 months when I was 14. I hit 6'4" that summer. The pain was UNBEARABLE. No kidding, I had stretch marks in my lower back! The pain was mostly in the legs, I couldn't sleep at all unless I took 6 or 7 aspirin. Funny thing is, I pretty much stopped after that. I hit a bit over 6'7" when I was 16, then stopped. NOW, since I am 50 frackin' years old, I am shrinking! Lost 1/2 inch already. At that rate I will be my birth height at 75... 21 inches.
Now here's the ODD part... my feet are GROWING! I have monkey feet... a reall high arch. My second toe is the length of my wife's pinky... I was a 14 since 16. When I hit 40 my arch started to drop. Still REAL high, but my shoe size is 16. SO, with height and shoe size computed, they will be identical at some point in the future, making me a perfect right angle.

Wow.. that is some nasty pain. My knees are ok.. very very sensitive and extremely painful if they get knocked.. and I can't run for more than 15 mins a day - after the 15 I just have to limp. But its just my knees.. so I'm glad its not as bad as you had it.
5'11'' at 15... but guess what? In keeping with the rest of this thread, I'm supposed to be 6'2''.
5' 10".
While I have always wanted to be 6' like the rest of the males in my family, I find my height to be perfect for society.
I never hit my head on doorframes, I can fit easily in subcompact cars and airline seats, I am tall enough to see a concert in a crowd and I'm tall enough to date most women w/o feeling uncomfortable about height issues.

I stopped at 6'4" at 13 or so. Pain was really bad. Probably some of the worst pain I've felt in my life.

I am 5'10" probably just about full grow height wise. I am 15, 16 in september, and I haven't grown much in over a year.
I've settled on one for now.mactastic said:So have you dated most of them yet?
She's a nice 5' 6" tall.
A post in this thread reminded me of a couple I used to work with. She was 5' and about 95lbs and he was 6' 7" and about 235lbs.
I always wondered: "how the hell does that work?"
