And what was your growth pattern like?For me i've never had a growth spurt i've grown around half an inch a year since i was 14 now 20.Don't know if im done but probably have.

13-14 and I knew it by 15.

Damn were you tall and mature looking for your age?Tends to be the case i notice.

Yeah it was nothing crazy though surprisingly. Say maybe the average person at 13-14 is 50% manly (Hair, face, height/size) I was about 65%. And that was the farthest I ever separated from the pack.
I lagged behind by many percentage points every year until I was finally shorter than about 75-80% of the white male population in the US.
I was/still am very athletic and agile. However it's useless and i'd trade it all for a few inches. Being the competitive and edgy smaller guy just isn't for me. It's a role to play but i'd rather just be taller and stay out of the games. Sad at such a young age I've accepted this.

How tall are you?Can't be that bad surely i feel for you though most kids are hitting their largest growth spurts at 14/15.Are you going the surgery route then?

That's totally my dad, was nicknamed Little Hercules while in the service. His sarcastic sense of humor would get him into trouble often, but he ever turned down a fight. Works for him, but not for me!

I'm 5'7" in the morning and 5'6".5 at night. Will be going the surgery route if I can afford someone that's half decent.
And @android lol it can definitely get you through life and you can be semi-happy. That is if you DONT have height neurosis.
-
At 5'7 i can understand what's your goal height?Not worth it for 5'8 imo.Im 5'10 and feel average meaning anything under 5'9 you will probably still feel short.

Looking to get around your height. That would be perfect.
Count your blessings sir.
However I understand your situation, another 3 inches and you'd be 6'1" which is an ideal height. Can't knock someone for that idealization fixated in their head.
-
Yea 6'0 or 6'1 would be great hoping i've got some natty height to go so i don't have to consider surgery.Hope all goes well when you take the plunge.How much function would you lose with 3 inches gained?
-
I'm 18 now and 5'10, I was 5'9 when I was 16 and a half, but I think my growth is slowing down a fair bit. I'd be lucky to hit 5'11 and 6'0/1 is the goal tho ::)
-
Well if it makes you feel any better i was an inch shorter at 18 compared to 20.But if i was you i'd already consider an ai to stop your growth plates closing.Yea it can fk with your endocrine system but i'd rather have screwed up hormones vs losing most of my athletic ability.But if you'd be happy enough at 5'11 then maybe not.

My proportions are decent enough to get it done. So barring anything complicated happening after full recovery and post rod removal i'll hopefully be at 75-80% of what I was before.
Could be a little to a lot more, can't see it being alot less. I would gladly trade 25% of my former athleticism for a few inches. If I can keep more i'd be thrilled though.
-
75 percent seems like decent trade of tbh.Even if you lose considerably more could you still lift weights improve your physique?That would be my main worry.
