The tall and short of it
I have noticed lately that I am looking up a lot.People seem to be getting taller.All my life I have had to look down to look people in the eye,and now teenagers are taller than me

There is a 17 year old boy at the supermarket that is over 7 foot, my son is 6'3" an inch taller than me,and most of his friends are nearly as tall.Is this just the natural progression of things?

I have an 18 yearold sister-in-law that is 6 foot.

I am begining to really feel short

Anyone else notice this happening?When I was a teenager, not many people were over 6 foot,and now it seems everyone is.Just kinda strange

Better food, better medical and better ideas all help. My boy is 8" taller at 21. I'm 47and not shrinking yet, but I see it.

Hey. Hey! I said HEY!!

Down here. No, look down... oh, hi, how ya doin'?

Are people getting taller? How should I know? When you're 5'4", you have a limited point of view...

Hey no feel bad alright BC. I tease my bf lot for this
He is shorter than me and I am only 5'5 3/4"



maybe your kid's friends and ya'll just like to hang around tall peoples?

Life is too short to worry about who's looking up or down at people. Just blow with it and grin and not have a worry and have a great day.

My oldest at 18 is right around 6'2" and 250lbs and it is not fat. I have seen this kid pick up a 250-300lb woman with one arm while swimming and threw her over his shoulder. Me I am only 6' 160lbs now how am I supposed to punish my son. If I p!ss him off I might get my @ss kicked.
