The height of females on this board

5'6" 1/2

I was supertall compared to other kids my age until I was 12, when all growth mysteriously ceased.
So I'm stuck at 5'4" (and a HALF!); but then, I'm not a professionally confirmed aspie.

Same with me. I was always taller until 12.

5'6"

Have been since I was 11 years old. I grew half a foot in the space of six months. It hurt.

I'd probably have grown taller in high school, I was told, except that I flirted with anorexia on and off.

I was 5'8 last I checked but it's been a number of years. I go to the chiropractor a lot, so I might be taller these days.

5'5" but I was suppose to be taller, about 5'8" to 5'10" according to my peditricians. I was tall for my age until puberty. Thanks to a stressful and traumatic childhood, my growth slowed down after 11, and stopped altogether at 13.

My mom ws 5' 9" before she started shrinking frfom old age, and my brother's 6'. I hate being the short one in the family.

I've been 5'6" since I was ten. Now my classmates are catching up to me in height!

I'm still the shortest one in my family, though My mom is 5'8", my older sister's 5'9", and my dad is 6'.

I shot up when I was 10 as well and remember it hurting a lot. I used to get stabbing pains in the back of my heels and needed physio to stretch them out. I couldn't touch my toes at all when I was a kid, but years of yoga / pilates stretching has really helped and I'm very flexible now. I've also had a few food issues over the years. Too much as a child, and then too little in my teens, but I eat well now I'm in my 30s and living in NZ.

I'm 5'5.

I'm nearly 5 foot 3. I have a long torso, short waist. Like several other posters, I'm the runt in my family, with a mom who was over 5 foot 3 until she began shrinking (she's now 77 and about a half inch shorter than me), a Dad who was 5 foot 11, a brother who is 5 foot 9, and two sisters who are 5 foot 5 and 5 foot 6.

i'm not the shortest. my mom is 5'1 and my dad is 5'7/5'8 my brother is about 5'7

Sounds like me! I'm almost at the 5'2" mark anyway. It gets tedious to say 5'1" and a fraction of...

I'm 1.8m (5'11) shortest in the direct family though

5'7"

I'm exactly 5'0" and have been since age 10. My mom is 5'4" and my dad is 6'0". Both my grandfathers were 6'2" and one greatgrandfather was 6'9". Myself and one of my male cousins ended up with the short gene as he is 5'3".

5'4"
