[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes. my daughter is 6ft tall at 14.[/quote]

That’s tough.   Is she done growing? [/quote]

How is that tough? My daughter would kill to be that tall. You must not have any basketball or volleyball players. [/quote]

Really?   That’s what you think of ?    Being honest it’s just as tough being overly tall girl as being an overly Short boy. It’s not tragic but it’s easier not being an outlier.

As for sports my tall niece played middle school and varsity high school basketball because her mother insisted on one activity.   No clubs and she didn’t like it all that much. But she was tall so she was put on the varsity team.  Sports my family play are football, lacrosse, tennis and the toughest activity two of them are serious about is ballet.

The tallest nephew I have is 6’5”.   He did not play basketball. Zero interest.  Now he’s a college graduate and people constantly talk to him about his height.  Gotta be annoying.  [/quote]
