[quote=Anonymous]5'7" is fine. I'm 5'6" and didn't even realize I was short until I was like 30 years old. I was overweight in middle school so that was kind of my main focus on my body and I got bullied for that. So when I lost 50 pounds in high school and suddenly became "attractive," it just never occurred to me that being short was something people worry about. Almost all the girls I dated were taller than me (I ended up married with kids to a woman who was 5'9"). Looking back I can now see why some girls turned me down - I never realized height was something that entered strongly into the equation. Now I have two kids projected to be 5'11" and one kid projected to be over 6'. I don't think you should say anything to your son. Life is not all about height, not even 5% of life is about height unless you make it that way[/quote]
