,I'm 5'7" and still growing..
And I'm really young..
12 Mwahahah.. But I'm smart
When I was young, I grew quickly to about 5'10" and then stayed there, and it seemed like I had reached my maximum height. Then, when I was 19, I broke my back from falling off a cliff while rock-climbing.
When I was rushed to the emergency room, they removed all the broken pieces of bone -- but I was told I wouldn't have a "spinal fusion" surgery for possibly several weeks. (My spine was literally in half that whole time, which was really weird). After my second surgery, and then several months of rehabilitation, I began to begin the process of learning how to walk again. (Originally the doctors said I'd probably be in a wheelchair my whole life, but I proved them wrong! I use forearm crutches to walk these days).
Anyway, by the time my height was measured again, maybe about 6-7 months later, I was suddenly 6'1"!! It seemed strange to me that I could shoot up three inches so quickly, and the only thing I could think of was that they made me taller somehow with my spinal fusion (they took bone from my hip and attached my spine together, while also placing two metal rods within to keep it steady while it healed and became part of my back). Anyway, I've been enjoying being taller all of these years (I'm 34 now). Though the last time I measured myself (earlier this year), I was just barely over 6 feet.
I don't really get the height fluctuations, but there you have it... my height.

Depends on when you get measured. One can be %1 shorter by nighttime.
6', I never had one proper growth spurt or anything, just grew slow and steady from age 10-18, it was odd as I was just fairly average height then when I was about 15-18 I just slowly grew and grew untill I hit 6'1 and I've shrunk an inch down to 6' exactly over the last four months .
I kinda like being tall to be honest, it used to bug me but I have a very narrow frame so it works for me, the only downside is it tends to intimidate men who are shorter than me...

When I was 12, I was 5'9". It was predicted that I'd end up being around 6'2". Now I'm 17 (18 in a week), and I've been 5'11" for a couple years. I guess that's tall enough.
6'3" 195#. Who'd have thought that I'd be happiest with how my body looks at almost 40? I looked like a heroin addict in my 20s. I was rail thin- 145#.
I know what you mean, 6'2" 120lbs, I need to get some muscle.
Rail thin at 6'3"-ish 145lbs? No. Rail thin at 6'3"-ish 120lbs. YES.

Don't worry too much mate, my boyfriend's about 6'7", and I'm 5'4". It works.
(In spite of a stiff neck for the first couple of months )Apparently he was 6' at the age of 11.
