Yes, I don't think height is as important as people online make it out to be :smile:

No dont think so.

Saying this as a 18 year old girl, i am 156cm and 5ft 1.5 inch and my father is 5ft 9 and my mum is 5ft 2.5 inch.

Although, on average a male height is 170-175cm and a female is 160-163cm.

But genetics play a major role and boys even tend to grow even when they are in their 20s.
yes
