Don't slouch and be happy to be tall - as a woman, you will command more respect because of your height, both among men and women. It's illogical, but that's the way it is, even though there's nothing anyone can do about their genes! I say don't slouch because a tall, older woman I know who didn't like being tall, so slouched to hide it when a teenager/young woman, now has a bad back as a direct result!

I'm about 5' 6" and have been for a long time now! I am taller than my mother was, and taller than my big sister, so that's pretty good!
