I don't know why I'm so tall. My dad is pretty short for a guy, I think he's about 5'8". And my mom and my sister are both about 5'4", and I'm about 5'8" (but recently it seems like I'm taller than my dad). I always hated being tall in high school because I was taller than some guys. But now I realized being tall isn't so bad because it was good for playing softball, and I have a boyfriend who is 6' so it's not so bad.
