God, you're so lucky. And 5'8" is a great height on a girl. It's not tall and it's definitely not short, either.
I'm the complete opposite of you. I'm only 71 inches tall, and I LOATHE it in words I can't describe. All of my male friends and colleagues have always been taller than me. And eight out of ten exes (women) have been taller than me. I'm "short, but not that short," according to others. Like any man between 173 to 182 cm. However, it doesn't matter to me. I wasn't meant to be a f*cking munchkin, down here in the women and children's section. I don't care if most people in the world are also short AF like that too; this sh*tty fate of being small and weak (like "most men") wasn't meant for *ME!*
This is all due to precocious puberty. I stopped growing at age ten. At that time, I was kinda tall for a ten year old, so my doctor predicted me to stop growing at 195 cm (6'5"). Obviously, that never happened and everyone else outgrew me. So I'm a Hulk trapped in the body of an Ant Man (shrunken, not enlarged obviously). I'll never not be furious at my own body betraying me like that. It's part of, if not the main reason, why I'll never have kids. I'm not passing along my *ridiculously* sh*t genetics along to another human being, not even a daughter. This cursed lineage ends with me.
So yeah. Short AF (but "not that short", according to jackasses) and stopped at age ten. The total inverse of miss @Genie23, as I said.
5’ 7” and around maybe 18 by the last bits. I was born in Peru and I am actually a lot taller than an average Peruvian man. An average Peruvian man is 5’ 4”, and an average Peruvian woman is 4’ 11”! All of my family members exceed the average Peruvian height. My sisters are as tall as average Peruvian men. But we also got European ancestors, but also Chinese ancestors, mixed with ancestors from Inca empire.
I'm 5'4". And I stopped growing at age 19/20, which is supposedly really late, especially for a girl in the US, but I also hit puberty pretty late, so it shouldn't be that much of a surprise
I was really short as a kid. At age eleven I was about the same height as the average six year old. My doctors estimated that my adult height would be around 4'6", max 4'10". Around the height of the average 10 or 11 year old, which I would be if I had stopped growing at the same age as most girls. But I just kept growing. I didn't have a big growth spurt. I just kept getting taller until one day I was no longer noticeably short. And it was strange for me, because I had always identified as a short person.
Funny enough, my brothers also both ended up being a lot taller than they were predicted to be, and didn't stop growing until later than average. I guess it's in our genes. But they were never that short in the first place. They just tower over me now. I'm still the shortest in my family by far.
I also still have the baby face. 😂
I'm 153 cm.
I probably stopped growing when I was around.. I don't know 11 years old or something xD
Suddenly everyone was taller than me.

I'm 4'10 and I stopped growing at 13
I had a similar experience, I was actually always really short compared to other kids when I was little. I had a few friends and cousins I hadn't seen since I was like 12-13. I ended up growing until I was 23 and stopped at 6'7" tall. People that hadn't seen me since I was little can never believe I grew until 23, nor that I ended up this tall.
The funniest reaction was my older cousin. He hadn't seen me since I was 13, we ended up meeting a few years ago and his mouth literally fell open. I didn't give to much attention to our height difference until he specifically stated out loud in front of me and other family members. "Just because you're so much taller than me doesn't mean I'm intimidated by you, I will always remember you as the geeky kid that played Yu-gi-oh." I couldn't help but laugh when he said that.
I'm 5"9" and stopped growing like age 21 I believe I could be taller, not sure, both of my parents were shorter, My late mom was like 5"2", My dad is "54" I know for fact I have five inches over my dad
u I think it was around 16 or 17, I don't remember... I remember that I didn't want to get taller and keep hitting my head in the bus
ohh i just beat you. im 5'9 and stopped around age 12-13
I got up to 6'3. went i was in the Army so I think 18 i may be stopped.
never thought being tall would be a blessing. but it kept me out of the tunnels in nam
6 foot 5 dont know when I stopped growing, but I know I start the old person shrinking soon.
Yes its a real thing look it up
I'm 5,5 think I haven't really grown ( at least not significantly ) since I was around 16
I'm 5'0". I'm pretty sure I stopped growing around 15-16.
5’10” and I stopped growing at like 17 when I was 5’11”almost 6’ 😢. Damn army made me shorter (compacted my spine cause of all the weight of the gear)
I'm 25 now. I thought I've been done growing for a while now but just the other day my work mate noted I looked taller. It's not like I changed my shoes or anything so I don't really know.
Think I was around 21/22ish when I stopped growing at 5’10”. I use to envy my baby brother since he’s 6’3” but I’m content with my height now. To many considerations needed for really tall men whereas for me, things are easy. My son is 6’4”. 🤦🏽♂️ That height gene just skipped me.
Wow you are as tall as me. That's especially tall for an Indian woman.
Stopped at around 20 years old, only 5’10” in height
I was a horrendous short arse (lol) ... I was literally the smallest kid at school until I hit 16... Luckily I was good at sport so managed to hide my lack of growth with being a pretty good footballer. Ironically I had a growth spurt at 16 and got up to (probably 5ft 11... which I am now) but by that time all the other kids became better at football than me lol
u I’m 6 foot 1 and I probably stopped growing around 23 years old
I'm 6'2 without shoes on and I've been that tall since I was 17
I’m actually still growing a little lol and last time I checked a few years ago I was 5’9-5’10 but I noticed I got a little taller.
6'2 and 21/22 from what I remember
I'm 5'4" and I'm pretty sure I haven't grown since I was 13/14
