Prefer tall over short.

My children play basketball, lacrosse, and they swim. I HOPE they stay tall. They're tall now and everyone comments on it and my kids eat it up. It helps in their sports. It's only creeper when grown ups comment on their long legs. My twins are 12 and both 5'7.5" People always call them models because they're also thin but they're tom boy nerds. One wants to be a computer scientist and the other wants to be a dentist. I think they both have hopes of HS and college sports.

They are healthy and happy so that’s all I care about. I will say that I think overweight kids/teens/adults (particularly girls/women) get far more discrimination than those who might be on the shorter side.

But taller people carry weight easier so it's sort of related.

Ya’ll may be tall, but you’re still ugly.

WOW! My 12 year old is 5'7" and I thought she was tall.
