Gah, I hate being tall. My little bro is always makin jokes like "How's the weather up there".
I've heard that one EVERY year of my life....well except in my baby years. I always find it funny, I say "yeah, it's better than down there":DQuote:

I'm exactly 5 feet tall, and I can say that the world is not geared towards people my height. xD
I'm 5'9½" and I'm so much taller than everyone else around me. Again, I have no stories to tell. :(
Yeah, I hate being tall. I hate it so much I could puke all over my siblings and do the hokey pokey all day.
Well I guess it's not all that bad, I mean there is the the advantage of... well there's.... never mind.
More chance of missing the bowl when going to the toilet :(
Being tall is overrated. A solid 5'9" is where it's at.
I have an average height of 6 foot.
I'm 6'1" or 6'2", and I don't have any problems with being tall. It's great.
since I'm a girl, that *is* tall. It means stu gets intimidated when I wear big heels~ and I have bend slightly but uncomfortably to dance ;oQuote:

(I'm so funny.)
6'1"--which is really tall for a girl.
I think being tall has a few issues. I'm 6'4".
When you shop for a new car, there are a lot of cars you can't even consider because you don't fit comfortably in them. If you aren't careful, you can hit your head on things that a lot of people wouldn't. Neither of my couches is long enough for me to lay on comfortably. My feet also hang off the end of my bed, but I've become so used to this that it isn't a problem.

When I was tall for my age, the only advantage I can think of was having my yougner siblings be afraid of me. Yes I felt very powerful.
O yes, I bet you all have such a hard time being so tall. What with your superior muscle mass, faster movement, higher attractiveness to the opposite sex, lowered likelihood of drowning, extended lifetime and ability to navigate crowds without being pushed around constantly.
You people make me sick.
(SPOILER)I wish I was tall :(
I am tall, about 6 foot. I often bash my head on things. But then again, im just clumsy.
Also, in the back seat of most cars, my head is against the ceiling

Thank God im not the tallest in my school:D
5'1"
I wouldnt know. Im 5 and half an inch..
I'm 5'11'', but my bet is that I will eventually be 6 feet or higher. I'm only 16, so I've got a long ways to go yet.
Advantages:
-People rarely try to push you around when you're taller than them.
-You have good acess to hard-to-reach objects.
-You will find certain sports easier.
- Lots of girls like tall guys. (I know, I know, I just had to say that...)
Disadvantages:
-Hitting your head is easy.
-Some tasks (such as riding in an airplane) can become claustrophobia-inducing.
-Clothes can be harder to find.
Maxx said it the best. Get bent you freaks. Go hock vegatables or play basketball or something. Stop complaining.
I'm about 6'. But that's not so very tall, is it? Anywho, being tall has its pros and cons, I guess.
5'10, not too tall but not small either.
Tall people get paid more money. :)
Im small and I zipp through you people in a crowd like mad. Being short has many advantages too. Many.
I found out recently that I'm 5'4" which puts me really close to average for a girl (I think the average is about 5'7"ish.) and I was excited about that.
Otherwise, I can do things tall people can't, like run underneath some things and not bang my head.
YAH!:) :DQuote:

I'm 6'1". I was tall growing up and I liked it. Also, I love tall men. :D
Oh, RSL... come here a minute...

Averageness or shortness ftw!
I'm probably over 6", perhaps 6'2", I believe. I've cracked my head on ceilings several times. :( But being tall is good. You feel a little more significant because of it, somehow.
I don't know... I'm 1 m 65 cm! but my ex-bf was almost 2 m... it was terrible to walk around iwth him at street, I looked like a dwarf next him!
I'm glad I'm tall :p
yeh my friend is almost 2m tall, and everyone always comments on how he should play basketball, which he does... and he says that, prompting the usual response, "well, that would be because you are tall, isnt it"... yes, it would be...
I am 5 foot 8 and I am shorter than nearly everyone where I live. Minnesota/Wisconsin has a very tall heritage I guess lol
im only about 5'3 or 5'4... dunno if thats tall for my age
I'm 6'1", and I also have a high metabolism. It's friggin impossible for me to find clothes that fit properly. It's all the fat Americans' fault! (Not meaning to insult anyone here)
But yeah, I've also cracked my head on a ceiling or two. I used to despise being tall, but I've gotten used to it, and dont really care anymore.
I like being small [:
At a geuss, Im a probably 5ft3/4, and Im already taller than my Mum
I am tall. It is nice to reach stuff and use friends as leaning posts.
Disavantages are hitting your head on stuff and people assuming since you are tall you are tough and such.
I'm like 14 and I'm the same height as my dad and I'm about 5"7, so that means that I'm either tall or he's just short!:p
I'm 5'3" (I thought I had grown. I was wrong). I kinda like this height. Being tall must suck sometimes.
I think I stopped growing taller this year or something. I'm 14 and 6'0", so yeah, I'm tall for me age. I like being able to see in crowds. Sometimes, I feel... too tall, especially around some of my really short friends. I use them as head rests (though I have to bend down to do so) and their heads as cupholders. I go to the most ghetto school in our ghetto district, so I guess my height may defer some people from wanting to pick a fight. [/intimidating] There aren't too many disadvantages aside from standing out.
I never hit my head on anything, and am nowhere near touching ceilings and stuff. Everything must be short in Europe. :3
