Answer 1

Love your height! I bet you are leggy and model like. I was that height at your age and now I am 5'9 and absolutely love being tall! Love your height and love yourself, hold your head high and be noticed for how beautiful you are! :-) xxxxx

Answer 2

Nothing. You've heard if before, just be happy with the way you are. Sure, improvement is always a good thing; however your height is not something that need to improve. You are tall, definitely NOT the tallest person on earth.. If you are the tallest of your friends, then you're the tallest of your friends. That's it.

The grass is always greener. I am 5'3" - wish I was a bit taller; however I am not.. heels help, but I am simply 5'3" when all is said and done.

You may find as you get older.. that your height is an asset... Look in the mirror and love who you are.

If you're ugly on the inside, then you'll have some work to do; however I doubt that.. so enjoy who you are.

I wish you well.

believe in yourself, you are fine the way you are, sweet,beautiful and lovable ok
First of all start loving yourself for if you don’t, the who will.Be perfectly at ease with yourself and remember the others are just like you.Be sure of yourself, you are fine the way you are; and once in that mindset do what you have to.

Answer 4

Don't worry about your height, you really are not that tall. I'm 6 foot and wear heels.
Just remember:
Clothes look better on tall people.
You always look skinnier than a shorter person of the same size.
Men will aways notice you.
No woman is happy with the way they look.
Go out, have fun and be yourself.

Answer 5

Wow!! I am 5'7 and wish I were taller. I think it is a pretty normal height. Maybe try not to wear shoes with heals or stand to close to your friends when they are around. Have you talked to your friends? Maybe they feel the same way because they feel they are too short. I don't think this issue has anything to do with why you do or don't feel good about yourself. Try some positive self talk it works much better than anything else. You must love yourself first, this is not a dress rehearsal you only get one chance to live. Make the most of it and enjoy it.

Answer 6

when I am in the supermarket I just love when someone your height come along as I am 5"3 to help me with something from the top shelf,and doing windows and high dusting painting you do have your uses?lots and lots so don't get down you are a person with feelings not matter tall or small slim or fat everyone has problems,never feel weird feel 10 feet tall then your on top of the world

Answer 7

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. The question says you are 57, do you mean that you are 5 foot 7 inches? If you do I would hardly call you excessively tall as quite a few women top the 6 foot mark and they don't seem to think they're weird.

Most models seem to be fairly tall so perhaps it's your friends who should be worried.

Answer 8

At five feet seven inches you are by no means too tall. You'd need to be at least five ten to effectively become a model.

The late Princess Diana of Wales was five feet eleven inches tall.

The best advice is for you to seek the company of taller people. If you are from UK that should not be too difficult because the average height for a man here is now about 5'10'' and for a woman easily 5'6'' - 5'8''

You are not too tall. It's your friends who are too short.

Answer 9

Hey, well you don't say how old you are, but judging by the question you are young enough to think your height matters. It doesn't. You are actually a great height to be. Not to tall, not to short. You might not realize it now, but you will be glad for this height later. Just think, when you get old and shrink, you will still be able to reach the shelves, your friends wont :-) Don't compare yourself to those around you. You are unique, there is only one like you in the entire world...love you.

Answer 10

Ok so you are taller than your class mate's so I guess your suffering the effects of short persons syndrome, that being short people pick on people taller than them.
If being tall is such a problem why are high heels so popular?
Being tall means you won't get a crick in the neck kissing tall guys, true you'll never date Tom Cruise but isn't that another advantage.

Answer 11

being tall is a good thing! just try to ignore the fact that you're tall if it really bothers you, but no offense, 5'7, is not really that tall-i am 5'6 and i am not even that tall. you must hang out with a lot of small girls! try to also make friends who are your height or close to it. use your tallness for sports like basketball and volleyball-don't worry about it. i'd kill to stay at my current weight if i could be taller-like 5'9 or something lol!
