I'm very tall- 20 years old, around 5'11"... and a girl

Sometimes I appreciate my height, but most of the time it's a hassle. For more practical it is nice, but it sucks being taller then most guys.

I'm not as old as Zarrexaij and I'm 5.8 feet tall. Out of most my family (cousins, specifically) I'm about in third place in terms of hieght.... but the the two ahead of me are older by a few years.

By the time I'm through growing I'll be (by my dad's estimate) six foot something. (I'm taller than both my parents).

Ah, genetics... I'm 8 inches (~19 cm, for you folks on the metric system) taller than my mother and sister. Of course, I'm maybe 2 inches shorter than my dad, so I'm not really a family outlier (I'm 6 feet tall, my dad is about 6'2'', and my uncles are pretty much within that range). Most of the men in my clan are close to 6 feet tall (~1.83 m), woman on my mother's side of the family are short-to-average in height, and things get messy on my dad's side of things.

Maybe you better reword that sentance to "I'm taller than my mother and sister by 8 inches (thats...)". Right now there is a 9 word gap after you say "I'm 8 inches" before reaching "taller"

I'm pretty much exactly the same height as my boyfriend, but when I strike up the courage to wear heels I'm quite a bit taller then him- I don't think he appreciates it too much... an insult to his manhood or something I suppose

Oddly, I never have said anything in this one. (Perhaps it is my dachshund-like height-challenged nature to ignore it...) No- actually, despite my affinity for dachshunds and bassets, I am around 1.8 m (I think that's what 5'10" translates to...).
My dad was taller, as were most of my male ancestors- I blame my (5' or 1.5 m tall) mom....

Global warming to raise the Florida coastlines will affect the rest of the world as well, so you are not going to be allowed to do it.

Same here. I'm one centimeter taller than my boyfriend. Luckily his shoes have rather thick soles, so no one every notices it. I can, however, never wear high heels. Not that I'd want to, anyway, but you never know. I'm around 6'1" I think, as I'm 183 cm tall. My whole family is tall though. My father, my uncles and my nephews/cousings are around 200 cm tall. My boyfriend often gets laughed at because he's so small compared to the men in my family.

Average height is very dependable upon the country you live in, but as I know where you come from, average height would be between 5'8" to 6'2" for adult males.

I'm just under 5 feet 8 inches, but then I'm almost 15 and therefore still growing. My father says I'll be 6 something by the time I stop. *shrugs* I suppose I hope so, I like being taller than 3/4 of the people around me.
If I'm not mistaken that makes me 1'73 meters. Anyway........

I'm 5' 7" closing in on 5' 8". In another post I took a guess and said 163cm, but now that sounds way off. So probably more like 168-169 or something. Personally I love my height. I'm 16 and most of the peeps around me have stopped growing. I asked my Doc, and he said basically that my body is retarded and I can expect to shoot up over 6 foot. I'm good with where I am. I think that I am the perfect human being (minus some muscle mass). I'm lanky and agile. I have better balance then anyone I've ever met in my life, ever! I have this weird hidden strength, I compare it to aboriginal people, a strength acuired from activity, not lifting weight (but I do that anyway, lol). Oh noes! Ranting again, Oh shi-! 1/0 WORMHOLE
