As the others have said, don't worry about it. Especially if you weigh around 100 pounds soaking wet :D . [I weigh around 180. :p ]

Really? I've always wanted to be tall like that. When I was in elementary school, I was the tallest kid in my class. Then, around 6th grade I just stopped growing.:D It has taken some getting used to.

But really, just about the only fun that comes out of it is teasing my girlfriend, who is well over a foot shorter than myself :D .

EDIT: That, and there's this other girl in my school named Lauren who is, shall we say, vertically challenged even by normal standards. I look up a bit when I walk, so I always bump into her in the hallways because I can't see her :D . Ever seen somebody the size of a 3rd grader try to take down somebody who's 6'10" ? It's quite the sight :D

And I fit in. Most japanese girls I know are actually taller than me...about your height.
You have nothing to worry about.
