I do not really agree or disagree because i come from a large family it is well known that we arent goint to be giants when we grew up.You see my mum is 4'8 and my dad is 4'10.Then comes all the rest of the family.
Jasmine is 14 yrs old and 4'6
Margi is 12 yrs old and 4'4
Marsha is 10 yrs old and 4'5
You see the girls take after our mum.I dont really think they are going to get much taller they say they will just be pleased if they be the same as mum.
haritar is 20 yrs old and 5'0
gratir is 19 yrs old and 4'9
Then comes me 17 yrs old and 4'7.
I couldnt even get to mums height and i have always been disappointed with that.
If my sisters stay under my height then i wont have too much of a problem i suppose but knowing me they will grow.
i was checked by the doctor only to be told that because mum and dad was short i would be the same.So i can only live in hope that what will be will be..

Coming from my country we are one of the shortest people anyway.I never expected to be tall just average would have done me.Now i come from a big family all together there are 9 of us 6 women and 3 men.Me i am the oldest and one of the men.This is how we go with our heights.
ME--------45 yrs old --------5'0
BROTHER---44 yrs old---------5'1
BROTHER---42 yrs old---------5'2
My 6 sisters are all below 5'0.
SISTER----41 yrs old---------4'9
SISTER----39 yrs old---------4'10
SISTER----38 yrs old---------4'10
TWINS-----36 yrs old --------4'7
SISTER----32 yrs old---------4'11.
Our mum was 4'8 tall and dad was 5'0.
Even all our cousins and outer family are on the shortness.So where we live is good has the tallest people in our village are mainly a few men they are only about 5'7 anyways.Lucky for us we all managed to get married an have our own families all my brothers and i managed to find some woman who arent too bad with our heights so we embrace it with love.

Being a shorter than average person is no different in my family has we all all on the short side. Both my parents are barely 5'0 and me and my brother take after them.Peter is 4'11 and i myself is 4'8.I blame it on Peter being the oldest so that is why is the taller.I never minded being this short is is other people that stop and stare.I mean it is not as if i am the shortest person on this planet.I have now been at work for 5 years and the workstaff accept me for who i am.Infact i have more friends here than when i was at school.Pupils treated me like a leper and i suffered with depression for a while.Now everything is good i am still on the lookout for a nice short guy has many guys here are pretty tall.I dont see many short guys so i try the internet to se what is going on.

Hi my name is Marti and i agree with older siblings being taller has in my case it is true.I am now 18 yrs old and 5'0 tall.I have an older sister who is 5'5 and an older brother who is 5'8.Then there is lucinda she is 13 yrs old and exactly my height.I have got a feeling that she hasnt finished with her growth spurt and may grow taller than me.Lucky for me when i left school Lucinda hadnt started so i didnt have the abuse of my younger sister being my height.My dad is 5'6 tall and mum is 4'10.All through my childhood i had my mum saying when you gonna get your growth spurt.It got on my nerves.I realised that when i was 15 yrs old that was when i stopped growing.i know that because i was friends with 3 other short guys and when they came back from the school holidays they were a good 4 ins taller than me.I was now on a par with being the same height of the new kids coming up.I was warned that i was never gonna be very tall by my g.p has the bone structure showed it up...
