I should also note that I had little calcium intake growing up and even now, as I've always been lactose intolerant and I don't like milk anyway. I also just had a bad diet in general growing up, so this may have contributed to my shortness rather than just my genetics. My sister drank milk all her life and is much taller than me.

i'm about 5ft 9, wish i was a few inches taller Me too. And my friends are all 6ft+ which makes me appear like a midget. Solution: Find shorter friends. Otherwise consider moving to the philippines where you will be relative giant and rule the roost in their clubs.

5'4 and a half exactly.
Perfectly average for a lady (although not in HK).

BTW, does anyone know if tallness is a dominant or recessive trait or is it a combination of both parents? Like, if there was a parent that was 5'0" and a parent that was 6'0", what height would the child most likely be? Not that it matters to me, I just find it interesting because it seems like there is a law of dominance for all the other traits. Luck of the draw. I knew of two mixed sisters- one was 5 foot, the other almost 6. The (caucasian) dad was a giant; the (chinese) mother was tiny.

Usually I'm 6 foot, when I'm super tired though I can shrink to 5'9" O.o
Anyways my Family is quite tall, my Dad (who's white) is 6'2", my mom (Chinese) is 5'5".
I think my Chinese Granddad is 6'4", quite tall for an Asian ;D

I'm 5'9 which is tallish for a girl i guess. The funny thing is my mom (european) is average height at 5'5 but my dad (asian) is 6'2 which is absolutely gigantic for a Korean man of his generation lol.
