What should i do about my sister

Question

i'm fully grown at 5-8 (20 years old) and yesterday my 16 year old sister was pointing out how short i was (she is currently 5-8, as well) and that i should have eaten more vegetables. i can't believe she's as tall as i am! i feel so short now. and the ironically embarrassing thing is that i promised her that i would get her a pair of like 5 inch heels if she ever grew taller than me. she is obsessed with being taller

Answer 1

5-8 is a normal height you aren't to small she is to tall. I am 22 and I am 5-8. Live up to your promise and buy the heals no big deal.

Answer 2

Well, honestly, there is nothing to do about your sister. You can't chop her legs off at the knee so she will remain your height or taller. You have to accept that. And you have to accept the fact that she is immature and will tease you about the fact that you are her older but not so big brother. It sucks, I know. Siblings often have rivalries and the "I'm bigger and stronger than you" thing is a common one. Buy her the heels, tell her good job for being just as tall as you are then encourage her to be just as smart...at least that one is useful. She'll get over it and eventually, so will you. And being a tall girl, unless she wants to model, play volleyball, or European basketball can have it's drawbacks as well. Either way, she'll grow up...not just physically but mentally as well. Take it easy. "This too shall pass."

Later!

People come in all sizes.

You are grown. It is time to ACT grown and quit obsessing about how tall or short or funny-looking you are. You are who you are. Get over it and get on with developing your character and ability and morals, etc.

Be proud how wonderfully well yorubody works and how many cute young tall and short girls are hot for you-if you have confidence and good manners and are a lovely person. Practice putting other people FIRST.

In your sister's case, get out the checkbook and buy her a pair of 5-inch heels and let her brag a little. Let her strut her stuff.

How does that diminish You? You don't have to put anyone else down to be up, right?

You will not get any taller or shorter for it.

But you will be a great role model- a person who keeps his word, can take a joke, and is proud of who he is--warts and all.

After the "new" wears off, she will be proud of you, too.  

  

Answer 4

Have some fun with this.  If your sister wears the 5 inch heels you promised her she will be taller than all the guys around her.  In order for her to look head to shoulder height with the guys, she will be required to have them stand on a small box beside her. Also, she'll have trouble finding pants that are long enough.  

One more note about the heels - you promised to buy her heels, did you specify whether or not she got to pick them out or do YOU get to purchase gold platforms for her?

Rest easy, girls reach their maximum height about 16.

Answer 5

I'm short. we shorties gotta live with it. and come on, get her the heels, as a brother you should've anyway even if she didn't.

Answer 6

i think 5'8" is normal. In fact i am highly attracted to shorter men instead of taller

I like a guy who is on my same level and i dont have to tippie toe to kiss him or look up at him.

shorter is better

there is nothing wrong with you

tell your sister to get over herself there is more to life than height

Answer 7

Who is the adult here. Why are you letting what a 16 yr old said

bother you. You are what you are get over it. Not everyone is happy with what they have, but that's just petty.

Answer 8

Lol!  Trust me, you are not short! 5-8 is around the average height for a man, according to my Dad who also is 5-8.
