yes, im 13 and I tower over everybody at my school, im 5'10 1/2 when most kids at my school are below 5'3
eh, i'm 15 and 5'6. out of the boys in my class, i'm one of the shortest. i get ripped on for my height a lot, but it doesn't really bother me that much. i wouldn't mind being taller though, and being 15 it'll probably happen, i just don't know by how much.
I don't think it is a big deal unless of course your job requires you to be a certain height or something.
As for people I know thought it meant a lot? I knew this one really small substitute teacher who made a big deal about her height before she began to teach us. We said nothing but she did this speech before class started.

im 6'3 and a tiny bit over. its a good size (for me in my opinion) and to each their own
It doesnt really matter to me, unless I see someone significantly taller than me and that's just amazement. This rarely happens though, since I'm 6' 5.
But height seems to be a pretty decent plus when it comes to women and dipshits who are looking for trouble.
I can avoid fights simply by standing up, even though I'd probably get my ass handed to me on a silver platter.

I put other, for a simple reason: I don't care about height at all, but something people don't consider is that its sort of awkward when your partner isn't close to the same height as you. I don't have that problem, but I know that it matters to a lot of people.
you would be surprised at how quickly thumping someone on the head ends a fight. i am 3.5 inches shorter and that is enough leverage to knock someone flat with little effort, not to say i would do that as they might get hurt... worse than they need to be.Bibliotekaren said:
OT: if you know how to fight, martially, then no it is not it presents it own unique bonuses and penalties, there are things that are more effective for and against you and less effective for and against you. At least it always seems to come down to looking like you would be better, or worse in a fight than anything.
Well, it isn't the size of the boat, it's the motion in the...
*others whispering* What? ... oh.
OT: Height isn't truly important. Unless you are trying to do something that being too tall or short to do would be dangerous or inhibiting.

Apologies if someone beat me to it:
Yes, height is important. Physical appearances are important in our society and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Short guys have a harder time finding dates. Tall people are more likely to be respected due to the simple fact that their figure is more imposing. It's not something that is insurmountable, but short people do encounter unique social problems due to their height.

I'm 6 ft and I'd like to be taller... however I like shorter girls, in general like 5 ft 5.
I'd find it a bit weird if a girl was taller than me :S.
Guess height really is important to me

Well, if you're too tall or short it can annoy you, but I'm not sure.
It's really down to the individual.

I'm 5'11, same as my older brother.
We commonly have height measuring wars. So yes it does matter to me.
