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 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 remember having a growth spirt when i was 10 also but i don't think it hurt for me, i was also one of the tallest kids through grade school too but i remember being at least 4' higher from when i was 9 to when i became 10. since then i have'nt really grown much in height so i've been 5'6" which i hear is pretty average around where i live..
