I stopped growing when I was 11. I'm 5'2, it was bound to happen because both my parents are short. As I was growing up my mom wanted me to be taller than my dad who is 5'4. Welp disappointed her haha, I kind of like being short. Yeah I can't reach the top shelf or even the middle shelf sometimes that just means anyone who is tall becomes my servant muhaha. I plus I think I work it. I

Haha! That's a great way of looking at it -- that anybody taller becomes your servant! I wished I was taller too, but after some time you learn to appreciate however tall or short you are.

In infant school I was always the tallest in my glass towering about everyone else. Then like you - I turned 11 and havnt from an inch since. I'm only 5foot lol. I also like being small - especially when queuing at bars because I can squeeze in spall places and get to the bar much faster than any of my regular size friends ;)

I have you beat by 1/2". I have a reacher and a step stool. When I still can't reach what I need, I get my hubby to get it for me. My kids are taller than I am. Their father was 6' 4". They get their height from him.

I think I stopped growing at 12, or 13, and I'm an inch shorter. I'm 5"1. I don't mind it too much. Sure i probably wouldn't mind being an inch or two taller, but I'm still happy with my height.
