I am worried about my height?!


Question: I am worried about my height!?
I am 6'7 and i have just turned 16!. I'm wondering if society percieves me as odd as I don't feel that tall, but when i measure myself i am that tall!. I dwarf all of my friends and occassionally feel out of place when we get together!. How tall do you think I may get!? and do you think being that tall at that age, or any age for that matter is odd or strange!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

My nephew is 17 and is half inch taller than you!. He stands tall and is proud of his height difference!. The girls love the fact that he is tall too!. Don't ever feel out of place, you are a little taller than the average male but who wants to be average!. My whole family are taller than average (me included) and I wouldn't change it!. You may gain another inch or two but hey you are above average, what could be better than that!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Im 15, and im 6ft 3, im the tallest girl in my year at school!.
I don't find it strange because its normal to me!.

My mates are all 5'5 5'6 two of them are only 5'1 so they are real small to me, sometimes i feel out of place but i guess we just have ti keep our head up and get on with it!

6 feet 7 inches is above average!. Are your parents both tall!? If they are not above average it might be worth asking your GP to check growth hormone levels on the off chance that you do have gigantism, rare though it is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nope, your not strange at this point, however if you keep growing fast (ie approaching 7 foot) maybe worth talking to a doctor about growth prohibiting hormones or at least discuss any side-effects being so tall may haveWww@Answer-Health@Com

Unless it's affecting your health don't worry about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
