How tall are you?

[mzbeers]

I'm 5'11". When I was growing up I begged and pleaded with God to let me stop growing when I hit 5'8" - it didn't work. I was tall and super skinny. I don't have the super skinny problem any more!

I also wear highheals..but not all the time..im a flipflop kinda gal :)
and try finding nice dressy shoes that are 10-11..you can't! they all look ugly ..so thats the reason for my big flipflops collection

My mother and I are like that too. She is 5'1", with size 5 1/2 feet, while I am almost 5'8" with size 10 feet. She thinks I'll be huge when I grow up, but I'll stop growing a couple of years from now, so idk.

Here's a link to a Wikipedia entry on height:

Human height - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You will note that the average U.S. average female height is 5'4" or below. My personal observation is that the media slants our perception of the average by focusing on taller subjects.

I'm 5'4" also, and I'm totally going to steal that line!!!

I was short all through out school. I never thought I was even going to make 5'. Finally, by my senior year in high school I had my big growth spurt and reached 5'4".
