10, 11, and 12 are special years in a person's life. We aren't children, but we aren't teens either. A lot of questioning comes at this age. Also, although you may have been the tallest in your class in sixth grade, you suddenly realize your not tall at all. My first serious crush called me bean-pole. BEAN POLE. I admit I did tower over him that year. But he was really really short, too. LOL Today, I'm all of 5'3 1/2". That's it, folks. Not exactly tall. I think were they to add this life-stage, it would bring back the 'shorter' kids for an easier transition to those tall strangers in our Sims' homes. I know my sons shot up. Before I knew it I was looking up at them.
