What age did you reach your current height?

I was always tall, but have no idea when I reached my adult height of 5’9”. Everyone in my family is tall, and there were many tall girls at my school, so I have never felt particularly self-conscious or conspicuous.

My sons are 6’2” and 6’4”, my brother is 6’4” - or was. He is 90 now and has shrunk, as have I. My mother was 5’8”. I have a nephew of 6’ 7”, who has a 9-year-old daughter who looks as if she is going to be tall, too.

It used to be said that women do not grow more than half-an-inch after their menarche.

So, I was my present height at 13.

That fits with my height peaking at 5ft 7” when I was 14, but I think I have lost a good inch now.

Mid teens, 5' 1". It's been static for decades but I wish to goodness the top supermarket shelves weren't quite so high, especially in the fruit and veg section.

Yes, Sainsbury I mean you.

You may not remember exactly but if you were extremely tall or short for your age you would be very aware of it.

I was the tallest in every year I was in, in three different schools. In school photos I am always about half a head taller than the others. For a brief 3 months a girl arrived who was an inch taller than me and we became great friends then suddenly she disappeared. By the time I was about 14 I was 5' 7" and 5' 9" by the time I was 16.

I was the tallest girl in my Primary School at the age of 11 and 5'6". I haven't grown a lot over the years but since reaching my 60's I started to shrink. Now at 78 I am 5'2".

I was about 16

Why? It is inane.

I don’t know how anyone would know the answer to this question unless they kept measuring themselves. I’m sure I haven’t a clue myself.

No idea but before I was 21 🤣🤣🤣
Now on the way down 🤣🤣🤣

Do we now have to post when we're scrolling on by? (checks GN rules 😁)

In reply to the OP - crikey, who remembers this level of detail?!

It was 11 and the tallest in my.class. I have a very old pic of my school mates to prove it, very proud of it now ! The following year just average height. Geez some folks are a bit paranoid - I guess they must have had some awful experiences in life. Or they live in London , I always think Londoners don’t trust anyone and I should know.

I don’t (now) live in London and I’m not paranoid. No awful experiences in life (so far!). It simply seems to me an odd thing to chat about.

I have no idea either
I know I was very tall at primary school but can’t remember when all the smaller girls caught up

I have no problem with (but no interest in) questions like this - but I always wonder why people want to know something quite obscure and what they then make of the info gathered?

About 14... But I'm shrinking now 😅

It’s ok, it’s not compulsory to answer, nor to tell us all you’re not answering 🤣

However, I think if it’s a poster we’ve seen before, it’s probably quite harmless.

Harmless questions.

I reached my max height at about 11 and towered over my peers. They gradually caught up. I am now losing height.

No idea 😀

About 15! I started off quite tall at around 11, then everyone caught up and overtook me.

I was 5ft 3”, but now am 5ft 2”!

About 14

I seemed to keep creeping up in height till I was about 20 - although biologically our bones fuse by 16.
