    How tall are sixth formers???
    Hey,I'm starting sixthform in september and I was just wondering how tall are people?I'm only 5"1(and a half ) because I went to an all girls secondary school there were still a couple of people shorter than me and people on average were only a few inches taller! But now there's gonna be guys! I'm worried I'm going to have to be constantly looking up to talk to people. lol To be fair I do usually wear heels, and when I can't be bothered to wear heels everyone feels the need to point out how short I am! So anyway, How tall are you guys??

    Honestly, that's probably going to be the case. But there were a few girls around your height when I was there too.

    well I got to 5'4" when I was 13, and I'm still 5'4" now at the age of 28. So no prizes for guessing how tall I was when I was in sixth form lol.

    I went to an all boys sixth form and I was the shortest there at 5'2". There were only a few short guys like me with the majority being above 5'7"

    Possibly the funniest thread title I have seen for a while.

    You can't generalise height like that, people will be all different heights - in our 6th form year people range from 5'3" - 6'2"

    Everyones pretty much as tall as they're ever going to be so it'll be the same as when you go out in town etc
    You dont sound ridiculously short though so you shouldnt worry its better than being huge and towering over everyone - you'd feel a lot more self conscious!

    Lol I love people's comments! It's funny because at school I generally hang out in a group of five where 3 of them are average height I'm the short one and then my friend Alice is the tall one. Both me and Alice complain about our height quite a lot and people make comments about it like "hello down there" or "ur practically a giraffe" So I guess people just can't take different! I guess any height has it's pros and cons. At least it's easy for me to hide behind people lol
