you are right. Most of my friends are 5'+.

My friends that we started playing basketball are national players. I opted for school and today I'm a chemical engineer.
Some of the are lamenting there if they know they'd have combine game with school.
I'd have behave like them if not that my late dad is a military officer. You know how they discipline their children.
Nigeria is not the right country to devote all ur interest in basketball and 5'+ is still short compared to most modern basketball stars

I am 6'3 in height and I am 19 yrs of age. I usually feel too tall when I walk around my age mates and what makes me feel insecure the most is when people start saying that I am long.

Tall people out there, how do you survive? I also hate it when people stare at my height when I am walking in the street because I am the kind of person that likes being conspicuous and unseen.

At times I just wish I wasn't so tall, so I would like to know at what age does one stop growing in height?
you are just looking for attention, you want to compare with what short people face everyday?

Are you tall or lanky ?

If you're lanky, try to gym and get muscle so that it won't be too obvious when you're coming from afar

Conspicuous and unseen. Wow, you actually typed that.. I will just leave matter for Matthias there.


Bone growth which is the determinant of how tall or short you become stops at around 19 to 24years. Do not worry over physical nature. Behavioural, emotional and social dispositions should be more of a concern to you

being tall is not bad and so is being short. But if the word "TOO" comes before any then it became bad. I have average height, not fat and not thin. You what am talking about? I'm happy with myself.

wow, how do you walk around short people, especially when people start calling you 'dogo'which means tallest,it is very annoying
Growing up, I had one bros close to me that's tall and people call him "dogo" , I didn't want to be called that, so I didn't want to be tall. Now i'm a bit taller than the guy, and now I can only thank God for giving me height. Height is everything.


Count yourself lucky! Some heights are funny-looking sha.

All creature comforts are made to fit the normal (i.e. average) demographic.

In the case of height, it will be nigh impossible to get a lot of things off-the-shelf if you're either too tall or too short, from clothes to shoes to beds/mattresses to things we all take for granted like toilet seats and shower heads!

Most things need to be specially made/bespoke, for you to enjoy them.

Still, too tall is waaaay better than being a dwarf or hobbit type of person.

However, it's the health issues that are scary. There's a reason why most really old people are "little, old men" or "little old ladies".

As a person of average income and average daily activity, it's better to have a compact body than too long or too short. The extremes both have their issues.

I'm 5-11 and sometimes, as I hit middle age, I wish I was smaller than I am. Young people enjoying their height, wait till you hit 50 and above......and pray you don't gain any weight.
My bad! Wanted to say the Nigerian Air force doesn't accept tall people for training as pilots.

Being tall is my biggest flex, I am 6”1, it gives me confident and courage, before you go wan body me, you go observe well, girls naturally love tall boys, boys as well may often compliment you, especially if you are good at a particular sport, turn your insecurities to strength

Because of how I carry and compose my self people often conclude I am some bold, rugged, and confident fella even before they say hi to me

The disadvantage of being tall to me however is that several or countless times I don nod doorframes because i miscalculated

Door and gate. Those shops frame don hit my head tire

I wonder why you are feeling uncomfortable with your height. I will understand if you are thin and tall. Please flex your being tall jo. Remain conspicuous and Unseen πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

Be conspicuous and seen.

I think it's a Nigerian thing. People also call me long here in Nigeria but when I went out , no one did except for the Nigerians I came across.
