You say that, but have you tried being a female who stands at 6'3" without heels on? xD


Oh ****... I should've said, it doesn't matter as long as you're not ridiculously tall i.e 5ft 10+

My dad is 5'5, my mum is 5ft and I am 6ft. My younger brother is about my height too and still growing.

The top shelf thing has a real impact on my life. I HAVE TO GET ON TOP OF EVERY COUNTER IN THE KITCHEN. Makes my cooking like 10 minutes longer.

both of my parents are short and I'm 6'3. You're only 15 so you will grow more in the next few years

Aha xD It does have it's benefits but can get annoying. Especially when your family tries getting you in heels when you're already taller than everyone else xD

Just to clarity, I'm not ridiculously taller than my parents. I'm a 5'6 15 year old male and my parents are both 5'2. I don't feel as if I've had any major growth spurts but I was wondering how much taller than my parents I can get. My grandparents were 4'8 and 5'3 (dad's side) and 5'5 and 5'7.5 (mum's side). I also had a 6'3 great grandfather (mum's side). Is it too late for me to get a growth spurt and how much taller than my parents can I get?


i'm 6'2 and im the tallest on both sides of my family

My mom and i have the same height. We are both 5'5" tall while my father's height is 5'8". My 2 brothers are taller than my dad, the eldest is 5'9" and the youngest is 6 flat.

But i dont complain with my heights. i am already thankful because i am way taller than my girl cousins. Lol
