Zell Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 You need totake into account that you start shrinking when you ht old age, that's why a lot of us are taller than our parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaggis Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I always used to be short, and thats one of the things people associate me with. But now, I'm the same height as most of my mates (except for those really tall guys), I'm about 5 ft 8. Seeing as I'm only 16, I should grow a little more at least. My dads just over 6ft but my mums oompa loompa size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I'm 5ft10/11. My dad's 6ft2ish and my mums just a tad shorter than me. You can actually be a tall person if both parents are short. I think sometimes, quite rarely, it can skip genes =) So if one of your grandparents was tall, you had short parents, there is a slim chance you'd be tall.

Supergrunch Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 my question is how tall are you?do you think your parents heights effect yours ginetically? or do you think its the environment? or a mixture of the 2? Im 6"3, and im taller than both parents. personally, i believe that both ginetics and environment effect our growth. environment also takes into consideration waht you eat. Height is a textbook example of a phenotype that is caused by a mixture of genotype and environment, though the genetic component is generally thought outweigh the environmental one. Have a datum: my mum is very short (not sure how short), my dad is about 6 foot, and I am about 6 foot 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamba Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Nah, I think that being taller than Bluey would just seem dumb. I dunno why. Plus I get to be LOUD cos I'm small. My theory: Everyone has the same amount of personality but some of us are smaller or larger therefore the concentration of personality varies. So while I'm here being super-rocket-fueled awesome personality the rest of you have it diluted through out ya carcasses! Haha! (/jk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 ah haha means bluey can whack you round the head also. I think I need to invest in heels, go scare a few people, all I wear is pump girly shoe things or my converse/babychams =[, I have no presence except at work haha xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I'm not that tall! It differs every week sometimes i'm 5ft 6, sometimes i'm 5ft 7 and sometimes i have even grown to 5ft 8 But i always shrink again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although sometimes the length of my hair adds some on and i have shoes that can make me go from 5ft 6 to 5ft 8! They are not high heels.....
