I am 43 yrs old and only 5'2 i am the second oldest of 6 kids.I always thought that i would be a decent height due to being one of the oldest.I can understand my brother being tall he is 5'11.All my other sisters are between 5'4 and 5,8.Some may think it is only 2 inches but due to my age i am shrinking.So i hope i dont lose too much height.Even my 2 kids have both reached my height.They are only 13 and 10.So for the second time i will be the shortest again.OH NO

Im the tallest at 5ft 9 :) You do shrink as you get older, you can expect to lose a little more height...

Mum was 5ft 6 inches as was dad.
The boys are between 5ft 8inches and 5ft 10 inches.
My sisters are 4ft 11in(the eldest), two sisters are 152 cm and i am one the tallest. My son is going ten in august and he reaches above my sholders. I just accept it. I reckon the world is better down here.lol

I am 54 and just shy of 5ft. I have always been the shortest in my family and it has never bothered me. You learn to adjust to certain things like using a steep stool to reach things and get to meet people in the grocery store as you ask them to get an item off the top shelf that you can't reach. I honestly never found being short a problem.

don't you worry!! do you know milk and the mineral water they give you the calcium and the cheeses are good for you also. not only make you taller but make your bones, and your teeth strong. am not the shortest in the house. but am not that at tall.
if you play the sport and exercise alot could help you because its stretch your bones. do you know people they grow up when they sleeping. after you exercise do you ever know at night when you go to sleep your legs may ache and you can't sleep properly because your legs are getting longer.

No I'm not.
My dad is 6'4 and my mom is 5'5.
I'm the youngest and the 2nd tallest.
My sister (oldest) is 5'4, my brother (middle) is 6'2 and I'm 6' even.

I'm the shortest. My dad is 6'5, my brother is 6'5...I'm a mere 5'10.
Of course I'm a woman as well. That could have something to do with it.
