I come from a large family 4 sisters and 1 brother.Now my brother is the tallest which i expected he is 5'11.My other sisters are between 5'0 and 5'9.I on the other hand am 4'9 maybe only 3ins shorter.The problem is that i am the oldest and i would have thought i would be fairlt tall if not has tall has the rest.NO i had to watch everyone of them overtake me in height which i was annoyed about.The only people i am the same height are my twin niece and nephew who are 8 yrs old.They are my brothers children so they will be pretty tall.No one understands what i have had to go through all my life has being this short people dont believe my age.I am forever stretching or climbing on things to reach them.My youngest sister is the tallest so she has a good foot on me.Even taller if she wears heels i dont like wearing them too high.When queing up i am forever being looked passed at due to people not seeing me it is so annoying.What else can i do .

My name is Tony and i am a quite a shortish guy.My height is 5'1 and 45 yrs old.My brother is 5'0 and 43 yrs old.Then come my youngest sister at 4'10 she is 40 yrs old.Now both my parents are short mum tops in at 4'9 and dad is 5'2 he is the tallest.Now none of us expected to be giants so this works out really well for us.My mum does all our alterations on our clothes she is a dab hand at it since she has always done her own.My dads brothers are all the same has well they are between 4'9 and 5'4.With his mum at 5'0 and dad at 5'5.My mums side are short has well her 2 sister are both 4'10 and 5'0.With her mum at 4'11 and dad at 5'6.This has gone back years all our photo's are of short people.We all laugh especially has the tallest is my grandad at 5'6.I bet many people cant believe that hey.We have always been the shortest kids growing up even now our friends are nearly a foot taller than us.So i would just blame it on genetics.We can all wear each others clothes lol

When I stopped growing, I was 5-10 coming from a 5-8 mother and a 6-0 father. My younger sister is still 16, and I think she is going through a growth spurt and is around 5-8 now.

I have to disagree due to me being the oldest 25 yrs old and 4'10.My younger sister is 23 and 5'6 and brother is 21 and 6'2.Both my parents are 5'8 and 5'10.My dad was pretty cruel when i was younger telling me that i couldnt be his due to the height difference.I remember having to go throught the dna process and being told everything was right.This seemed to settle his mind.I was still called a runt by my dad and it is only now that we understand eachother.I knew when i was about 14 that was when i was in high school and my height was checked out at 4'10.Now my sister and brother were 2 and 4 years younger.I always thought they were pretty tall has around this time my sister was already up to my height.My brother was about 3 ins shorter but soon caught up 2 years later.My mum would always say that i will pick up my height but never did happen.Now we are all adults i try to accept my height more than before.I mean it isnt nice having to look up to talk to my sister and brother.

I am a s.s.male i am barely 5'0.To be exact 4'11.5.The only time i am 5'0 is when i wear shoes.I have a younger sister who is taller than me.I am 28yrs old and she is 26yrs old her height is 5'7 taking after my dad who is 5'8.I got my height from my mum and nan who are 4'11 and 5'1.I was always taunted about being older than my sister and shorter.When we were younger i was always about 3 ins taller than he till i reached 11yrs old.Before going to secondary school i was measured at a little over 4'11.My sister who was around 2 years younger than me stood at 5'1.Not much taller you think until she reached 17 her height was 5'7.Our last family pic was taken at her birthday party when she was 21.I was told to stand close by and with our parents also included i didnt quite notice the height thing.The pic was like Maddison at the back with my dad with mum infront of dad and me infront of Maddison.She was a good head and shoulders above me.I was always called her little big brother.lol lol
