So being that height is just fine, love your height. I'm 14 and 5'8" and I'll probably be 5'9" or be 5'11" one of these days. Being tall and short are both good things, either one that you are is always okay. They both have their advantage, no matter what height. [ LagunaBabe's advice column | Ask LagunaBabe A Question ]
orphans answered Wednesday March 7 2007, 2:53 pm: 5'6-1/2" is actually normal. I'm 15 & 5 months.. and I'm 5'3" & still growing. Being tall is a good thing. Short people are weird..and midgety..and..ew. Haha. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
BlackAngel answered Wednesday March 7 2007, 2:39 pm: Don't worry about it! I'm 18 and I'm 5'5.5", and my mother is only 5'6". I've got friends who were 5'10" when they were in 7th grade. 5'6" is pretty normal. [ BlackAngel's advice column | Ask BlackAngel A Question ]
thelaura answered Wednesday March 7 2007, 2:39 pm: It's not that tall at all. Most of my girl friends are this height and some are bigger. I'd love to be in your position, because it gets boring having people towering over you at the age of 18, and getting crushed/not being able to see at gigs etc ;]
You should be happy about it. If you haven't grown at all for a year, you may have stopped or might have a little more to do. Learn to love it! I know I would. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
