Title: Height Prediction is BS
Post by: Ajax2thousand20 on December 20, 2014, 09:00:56 AM
Why do doctors predict the height of children? It nearly impossible to tell and they have no way to form a basis by just looking at a child how does it work? It seems like a pointless thing to do and when someone is at their final height and they're inches below what the doctor said, they're sold short of their dream height! It seems like a pointless thing to do in a child's physical what do you guys think?

I assume they are predicting optimum possible heighr based on genetics and lifestyle of the parents. Othee than that, natural factors such as eating habits may cone into play.

As to why i would assume to inform the parents what to expect of their child and to encourage the a childs healthy lifestyle.

if height prediction worked then all children for a given couple would all be the same height.

I agree its total bull . there is no way to determine which genes the child will get and express.

I never ever remember that my parents were that concerned about my height. They were concerned that I was short but they thought that I would catch up eventually. They had no clue how genetic and height worked, and both my parents are short they had no clue that I was going to end up as short as both of them. Since my whole family background is of tall cousins, my parents thought that I would eventually reach them. Unfortunately it never happened. Especially because I entered puberty early (at around 10 years old I was jacking myself off in the Living Room lmfao). I started to grow that chinese moustache at around 12, and pretty much at that age I have been using the same Clothing Size. I am barely X-Small size, it still fits me a little bit bigger. My parents never kept track of my growth in other words.

Anyhow, when things started to get serious, my parents took me to an endrocrinologist when I was 14. The guy obviously prescribed me HGH treatment, he knew that I was going to early puberty and he did not do anything about it, he instead prescribed me more HGH (which obviously I did not need). Surprisingly, I don't remember that he even predicted my height nor checked a growth chart. He just told me that I was way shorter than average and underweight. I never got the HGH until I turned 15. At 14 my hand growth plates were about to close. I started hurrying with the HGH at 15 hoping that I would eventually reach my father (he is 5'6"). Obviously, I just grew like 1 cm in a 4-months HGH treatment. We asked the doctor what was going on and he asked me for a knee growth plate x-ray and he concluded that I was pretty much done growing. I asked him if there was any growth chart or something that could predict my height and he said that those things didn't work, especially since I went through early puberty. He also noted that I went out of the percentiles when I was around 14. Probably when I was like 12-13 I was in-between and average range and in chances of being tall. But since my height stayed the same until my 14 years, he noted that I was pretty much done growing. At this point he only told me to "keep going with the HGH" and to expect a 2 cm growth on my spine. That was fking dumb as he was only trying to take us money. I got mad over the fact that he gave me HGH instead of something else to delay puberty (estrogen production which is what stunts your growth). Anyhow, he made me concerned that I still have a chance of growing a little bit on my back and is pretty much what I am going for right now. I hope I can grow 1-3 inches on my back during these last years of "puberty" I have (if so) in order to be at least around the average "manlet" height. I can't grow a whole beard and my voice still cracks up at times, and there are some spots left that need to be filled with hair in my body so that puts me around the stage 4 of the Tanner estimate.

There's a difference between 6'4" to 6'1". I have every right to lengthen as much as you do.

Feel bad just reading this, technology should have made it possible to influence growth by now. It is just so inherently unfair that some people grow up to be unattractive (or downright ugly), short, disabled or such and it's even worse that it happens so early in life. It really deals a hard blow when we're the most vulnerable.

It may not be possible to grow naturally taller after puberty. There's always a price to pay for toying with the anatomy of your body. I am hopeful for an alternative to LL but I don't think it will be available in my lifetime.

if your parents were more strict and made you eat well and sleep properly you could have been 6'0+, just to show how things can turn later in life

Hmmm. I don't if he did he stunted his growth by that much. Maybe an inch or two but I doubt it.
I wear size 14 US so I probably stunted at least "2 most likely 3"-4".

I'm just going to assume that you are ignorant.

Anyone growing up in a middle-class American family, short of drugs or massive famine, will grow up to reach their genetically-determined height.

I simply experienced precocious puberty, which stunts growth by several inches--in my case about eight inches.

Very earlier puberty, such as before nine years old in boys, can stunt growth. As to why, I'm not so sure. Normal puberty, starting at around 10-11, does not stunt growth.

Case in point: I started growing facial hair when I was 9-years old. I had a mustache and beard when I was 12. I was one of the tallest kids in my class between 4-7th grades (not that it helped me with the opposite sex; I was socially awkward due to Aspergers and shunned organized sports, as I thought they were silly and juvenile). When I turned 13, I was 5'6 (168 cm) and fully-developed in every way.

Interesting. I had early puberty as well which probably stunted my growth but grew several inches until I was late 15 or early 16 (allthough it's super common to finish growing around that age.)
I was predicted to be 6'4" and probably would be if I didn't have an early growth spurt. Had one around 8 then 10 then 12 and then 14. I grew an inch somewhere after 15 but don't know when and that was it. I don't know if I'll aim for 6'4" though because at my sitting height most guys with natural growth (allthough there are some rare exceptions) are usually 6'0"-6'2" 6'3" Max.

I doubt that you had precocious puberty. Precocious pubertal boys rarely pass 5'6-5'7 in final adult height. Your height was likely just a normal variation from the predicted height. The rule of thumb is that 95% of children will be between 4 inches of their predicted height.

Google research chemical "letrozole' I am not supposed to talk about this but I would buy it from geopetides.com or ruiproducts I took it and grew more but letrozole helped me from being 5 feet to 5 feet 5 inches but you need a lot and the hgh can be bought while it is not real my aunt tested somethings i bought from these sites and they are real when compared just not as a strong as a dose as the pill form if you can get that of letrozole also known as femara or somatropin is hgh i highly encourage you to try that dont take to much 2.5mg is what i took and it helped me but getting that much letro is very hard as the pill form i say is 2 times as strong when you take letro you feel it when you feel all dry and grainy however that dose is to high reduce it till it close to to where that feeling is but less in dose.   Take it every day and it's not expensive i still grew taking it to nearly 5'6 now i really think you can grow more and you said something about having small hands and feet to be honest that is worse for your life i would say having small hands makes doing   impossible and it would enlarge the muscles.   Be careful to cycle off and taper off of everything and read on anabolic sites more about it.

It really helped me no one cares about short people or our strength or life but if they were in our shoes they would hang em selves to be honest i feel.

According to pediatrics, traditional height predictors are between 95-99% within a four inch range of a predicted height. The more reliable method is to double your height you were at age 2 and add about an inch. Of course, these methods only work if you have no history of medical problems.

4" is a lot to be off by hell, even 2" can't escape being noticed! I'd say being off by 1" is the most Id forgive a doctor for but then again I was a stupid 12 year old boy and didn't know any better and now I'm devastated Im nothing close to 6'4". I know some people are gonna be angry at me but no one wants to be measured shorter than they think they are or at least by a lot.

I agree, at 6'1 why the f*ck are you even considering LL. Even if you live in the Netherlands which I doubt, 6'1 is average. I don't think LL would cure your height dysphoria (if you even have it), it may be better and cheaper for you to see a psychologist. I don't think you have just as much right to lengthen as much shorter men who are way below average. I don't even think you should be allowed to lengthen. Why pay so much and risk so much to go from tall to taller. If your quality of life is so bad at 6'1 I highly doubt it'll change at 6'4. Its not your height, its your mentality. Stop bitching so much.

Well I do actually. It's my life and I can do what I want with it. And I deserve to be treated with respect. There is always someone who will look at you as inferior regardless of how tall you are. It was my dream to be 6'4" at 12 years old and when I was 14, it's all I wanted. At 6'4" your super human. I was hoping I'd be at least 6'3" and my dream was crushed when I reached only a pathetic 6'1". There are just too many men 6'2" and up to consider myself tall. I never did face height discrimination but guys in high school would be like "I'm taller than you so (guy would stick out tongue). And think about it, wouldn't you be sad if your doctor said you would be 6'4" and you ended up being 6'0"? No one wants to be shorter that they were predicted regardless of their height.

How can you say 6'1 is pathetic. At least you have the body of a man and not of a child like most LL patients. I would be sad if I was told I was going to be 6'4 and only ended up 6'1 but there's no way I would ever consider LL to be 6'4. And especially not after joining a forum like this and realizing most members here are manlet size and medically need this surgery so that they won't be shunned everyday of their lives by a culture that idolizes height. With 1 inch lifts + sneakers you can easily walk around at 6'3 which is above average anywhere in the world. Also how tall are your parents? And if you feel comfortably answering, how old are you or what age group are you in and what part of the world do you live in?

I live in the SF Bay Area CA. My Dad claimed he was 6'1.5" when he was my age but I highly doubt it since he's now 5'10.3/4" at aged 60. He was probably 6' or 6'0.5" and added an inch like any person would do. I'm 28 years old, live off a minimum wage job. The only thing that pisses me off about my height is I wear size 14 us. I thought Id be 6'2.5" at the worst with a shoe that big . I do wear lifts and my life has changed 0%. I can just cope now without worrying about guys being taller than me and calling me out on exaggerating my height. I'm probably gonna have to go to an indian doctor though but will consider 4cms on tibs and femurs just to remain safe and not over stretch my muscle tissue.

No,its not maybe that average is for rural not for capital city and middle class people.The average for big city around 5'9 to 5'10. Yeah 5'7 maybe for whole country.
Compare with new generation now i am very small .PS   It is not phycho in my head .it is real statistic for reality in capital city .
I will do femur 5 cm and tibial 4.5 cm to reach 186 ,This height in asia is very tall.

No,its not maybe that average is for rural not for capital city and middle class people.The average for big city around 5'9 to 5'10. Yeah 5'7 maybe for whole country.
Compare with new generation now i am very small .PS   It is not phycho in my head .it is real statistic for reality in capital city .

Smh...the extent to which people with height neurosis will lie. The average in Beijing is nowhere close to 5'10. Yes it is in your head. Seeing five or ten people taller than you does not equal the whole country.

You have already judged by your self.Also you have biased already.
I said "new generation" .I am not live in China .I lived in Korea  ,Japan and China due to my business
On rural area maybe 165 cm is average whole country a little bit more
You want to compare your height with people in your region or whole country?
I want to compare my height  with my region not whole country with nearly generation and background.
Average height in Us is 5'9 that's right?
And this is for whole country that right?
In reality most healthy american taller than this average right?May be in better class average shift to 5'11 to 6 right?
Same my region shift average to 5'9to 5'11 but not for whole Asian.Please do not bias .
In nowaday university student like Newyork U, Stanford U ,Mit usually taller than that average or not.
Or it almost 5'9 in whole univerties,whole country. Then i can summarized that almost  American must be 5'9.That's right.?Or it is just random & Sampling.
You must wittness with your eyes and live in talked area for years ,not use your sense or just visit & siad .

"Please no bias" is gonna be my new catchphrase. Anyway from what I can tell most young people here in Scandinavia are on average between 178-188CM. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the Koreans are at least 5CM shorter than that.

I thought you were from Sweden?

The average male American mens height is 177 cm, which is 69.7 inches, which is approximately 5 foot – 10 inches tall. (for white males*).

alex ......... find a large mirror........ then look at yourself........ and yell like a crazy mad man these words every single day of your life at the top of your lungs to your own face.
 

also........
well...... der......... height isn't your problem. its your personality. its your mental complex. you have other problems in your life which make you not cool, and your just blaming height as an escape goat. lifts and leg lengthening surgery will change nothing.

did you ever consider that people will give you respect if you stop lying and bullcraping to their faces...... people get pissed of when you try to bullcrap them as if their fking stupid...... and you think that the problem is your height. people respect integrity and honor and truthful people.


Disagree. His height is his problem. It's mine too. I don't think I have height disphoria but I would rather be 6'2"+ than 6'1" below. People who are 6'3"+ generally get away with being angry more than 5'10 and below guys "allthough I'm much taller than 5'10" thank god!" But I'm glad there's LL.

- The Scandinavian peninsula in northern europe is home to Sweden and Norway. Usually Denmark and Finland is added to that group since these "Nordic" countries are very similar in almost every way -for example us Swedes are as tall as the danes or norveigans.

-I disagree with your disagreement. You are 185CM which ranges from tall to slightly above average in Europe -another 5CM will not change your life in any significant way.
It is certainly beneficial to be 190CM rather than slightly shorter bit it is not "your problem" in singular. I understand that you want to be taller -I would too- but you fool yourself indeed when you blame it for what most likely are surpassable problems and imagined disrespect.

For example: don't know exactly what you mean with "getting away with being angry" but I can tell you that I've had my share of outburst and "got away with it" while I've never really met an angry tall person.

Security guards in night clubs. They can disrespect you and you can do nothing about it and they spit in your face and get away with it. But even at 5'10", your life won't change much either at least in America don't know about in Sweden. But you have the same lineage as me so we're bred to be tall.

5'0"? Devitos like 4'10". But he's proportionate, just a really tiny person unlike dwarfism where you have the body of a child but look like an adult.

Haha shut up. If I ate right and got more sleep I may not have been 6'4" but most certainly taller than I am now. But there's no point regretting the past so just invest in overpriced ll.
