I'm happy being 5'11"/180cm, which is pretty average, but I was really short as a kid. I remember often going with my friends to the kiosk to buy some gum during recess. I couldn't even see above the counter and I was 13 at the time! Never liked being so short, looking 3 or 4 years younger than my mates.
How tall are you? Does your height bother you?

@Licorice I'm 4'11" too!!
I'm 4'11" and I have been for the past 4 years heheh, I've given up on growing.
But it really bothers me ngl. I've been mistaken for a tween or something and rejected from certain areas for looking too young when I'm 17! Being very flat doesn't help my case either, I really do have the body of a 12 year old. I've had a hard time with dating people after talking on snapchat and then meeting in real life as they think I look too young and feel weird about it.
I'm the smallest person in my house of 3 women and the only one who's strong enough to do a whole lot of handy work and that's a pain considering I need to stand on chairs and tables alike to do anything.
For some reason, it used to bother me when girls 5'2" or more complained about their height because I was like "Uh, I'm not even 5 feet tall, shut up you're fine." But I've grown out of that little superiority complex or whatever of thinking that I'm the shortest so others aren't allowed to complain about being short heheh.
I have a love for wearing 4" heels to make myself 5'3" and feel closer to average heights. I'd honestly love it if I could just grow one more inch and hit the 5' foot mark but
I've been fighting the height thing a bit by styling my outfits in a more stylish(?) way, and not in the "trendy" clothes that girls from 11 to 18 wear, more like a 20 year old or an 80 year old so people can tell I'm not a little girl who wears crop tops and ripped jeans (not that there's anything wrong with that
)
But anyways... yeah my height very much bothers me, but I'm slowly trying to deal with it heheh

5'6"/5'7" last few times I was measured at dr office. (they need to figure out their system cuz i'm pretty sure I wasn't growing in my 20s >.>)
I do wish I was shorter. Chunky heels or or really tall heels make me look more amazonian because I'm not dainty... Plus, I like guys taller than me (despite what my dating history tells you.)
I am literally the tallest (...and thinnest...) woman in my family related by blood on BOTH sides of my family. They next tallest I think is 5'4". So I stand out so much more at family gatherings. =/

It is a blessing and a curse. I'm 27 and still have to show my ID several times to get into bars. I've had people ID me again when I'm already inside sitting at the bar. High school boys have hit on me too lmao. I cringe thinking about it. One time I was at work and this boy (he looked hella young) asked me if I go to school here in town....@Licorice I'm 4'11" too!!

I know I'll appreciate it when I'm like 50 years old and looking 20 years younger, but now it's a true pain.And I'm worried about that whole getting ID'd! What happens if they don't believe you and think it's fake? That'll be such a hassle :'(
I'm sorry you're hit on by high schoolers, but that must be fun to tell them you're 27!
5'6"-5'7" and in my early 20's so not bad.
It's not tall but it's not short. I don't hate it, but I wish I was a few inches taller which drives my family crazy since most of the women are barely or just over 5 feet. I grew really fast and I was like 5'4" when I was 10.

i'm 5’2”. it only bothers me when i go to things like concerts...i have to be at the very front or wayy up high or else i can't see anything. tall people who move aside to let the shorties stand in front of you....you are absolute kings
5’3 it’s hard to find pants that fit. If I ever find petite jeans in size 6 and they aren’t ridiculously expensive I do a little cheer and I don’t care who sees. Otherwise I have to wear the regular which isn’t too bad when I can hide the excess material inside my boots.
YESSSS. i'm 5'2" (5'3" on a good day) and finding pants that i won't trip over is a nightmare.
also to answer the question further, i hate being so small and i've always wished I was just a few inches taller.

I'm 5'10" and I've been tall my whole life so I've kinda just gotten used to always being the tallest girl. The above problem with pants is opposite for me they're always too short lol. I love being tall but sometimes it does bother me when I'm walking by people older then me and they're all shorter.

It’s annoying when flying, otherwise no.

For my age, I'm considered short, I'm 5' 3" or 4". It's annoying when I have to reach stuff above my head, if I was a little taller it would be easier. At the grocery store in the cold case with all the sour creams and such, I have to use the base of the case as leverage cause I can't reach all the way back by myself. I also can't reach on the top shelf all the way back, I have to really stretch to get somethin pushed back.
Also all my skinny jeans bunch up alot around my ankles and calves which is also really annoying, I hate how it looks. I step on my other pants too, work slacks and boot cut jeans.
