@nangayo We are tall people but we don't generally spend a lot of time thinking about it.

I am also taller than almost everyone in the family and my daughters are all tall too. I guess we have the genes of tallness.

My height is fine by me eventhough my working friends teased me sometimes that if I could only have an extra 2 more inches taller then I can apply for a beauty pageant thing

but I really don`t mind as long as I know I carried myself good

I am the short one in our family. My parents were both four inches taller than me. My seven siblings were all 4-10 inches taller than me. My husband is 7 inches taller...my children from 1-9 inches taller. By now you've come to the conclusion that I am short. When I'm with family...I feel short. I am in fact 5' 7.5" tall. I wear heels...up to 4". I carry myself with pride.

I am short and I have to ask taller people at the supermarket to reach up high for me to get something down if I need it. Why do they have to put things up high for people that cannot reach them.

That is the advantage we taller people have, we can easily reach things. the only disadvantage is that tall people cannot get short but short people can add their height by wearing shoes which are high heeled.

Haha I am also rather tall for a female - at 5'10 but I rarely wear heels. I dont like to tower over others plus heels are just uncomfortable for me. But good for you for embarcing it!

I'd rather be a bit taller, for seeing over people at concerts and for basketball. But I'm happy with my body overall. It's been good to me so far. I think people attribute "power" to height, among other things.

My height also has been an advantage to me. While in school it made me always be chosen in certain games which was a privilege for me.

Sometimes I wish I had two inches more in my height. But it is not an issue for me. I am an average in height so I think this is enough for me. That is good you are taller, you can be a basketball player.

My family is short, and I'm shorter than I like to be as I shrunk over the years. I'm under 5', which makes it difficult to reach a lot of things in the cupboards without a stepstool. I could use about 5".

Wow you really are short. I believe there is always a reason of each one of us being given their height. Imagine if all of us were short or if all of us were tall how could it have been.
