I don't like how shower heads are placed so low either. I have to kneel down, or sit if I want to get anything above my neck wet.

Oh god don't get me started.  My dad is just as tall as me (A little taller) and my brother is about my height, so our house is like... designed for giants.  Our furniture is HUGE and our shower head is HIGH UP, damn it!

Still though, whenever I use other showers it's just... so annoying.

There are advantages and disadvantages of being tall and looking old.  As one advantage, I was able to see 15 movies without question when I was 13.  As one disadvantage in a similar vein, I'm now asked for my passport whenever trying to travel on a child's ticket at the train station (damnit, I AM 15!).

I'm tiny. They card me all the time when I try to get into a bar. I don't like being short.

I dunno, the train ticket thing is just annoying since a child gets over 90% off their ticket :P.

Guess I shouldn't have a problem in bars though.  Hell, if I didn't shave for a couple of weeks, I might be able to get in now.

Ha, at six foot four, people mistake me for someone much older. I sort of feel your pain, except I love it

 I look like an older guy that looks young. I'm not sure how that works. People think I'm older than I am and say I look like I could be younger than I am.

 My height is average. I have no interest in most 18+ things, so no real problem there. Not like I have a drivers license or permit. Let me tell you, insurance rates suck for teenagers for obvious reasons.

Really short people go up to my waist.  It's ridiculous.  I keep thinking I am going to step on one.   :-\

I'm 5' 7"ish, 17, slightly slim, and occasionally come into school with a face mildly in need of shaving, with "12" (for 12th grade) on my school ID, and yet people have trouble believing that I'm a senior in high school.  A lot think I'm either a sophomore or a junior, but some actually think "freshman."  It bothers me.

It's 18. :D

I was actually surprised to find that it was 21 in America.

Drinking age is 21 here because seniors in high school are retarded and buy tons of alcohol for their freshmen/sophomore/junior friends, who then go drive cars into trees.

Ah.

We don't tend to drink and drive. :D

Most of the high-schoolers don't drive, at least.
