Or consider yourself to be? In my instance I believe it was just constant childhood sickness
combined with having a short mother.

Genetics. Mom is 5'0 and dad is 5'10.5. I got the middle at 5'5.

For me it was probably partly genetics. With that said i have no doubt i would have grown taller than i am now if not for a few other factors:
I come from a poor country where the food is scarce, my parents where starving, which is especially bad for the mother during pregnancy, that thing affects how big and strong the baby gets. I was born 2 weeks earlier than i should have as a result of that, and only weighed about 2 kilos which is very small, and i had several sicknesses during that part of my life.
Then being adopted and growing up being dark skinned in sweden where there is very little sunlight, i most likely was vitamin D deficient during most of my childhood, and i didnt eat much either and had big problems with sleep.
Despite growing up in a poor country, my biological dad was about 1.80 cm tall (i know this since i ahve a full body picture of him with my adoptive dad, both barefoot and the same height, and i know for a fact that my adoptive dad is 180)
My biological mother was probably quite short tough, dont have any accurate idea of her exact height though.

Genetics. One of the ways to predict a child's final height is to double the height at age 2, which put me at approximately 5'6. That ended up being quite accurate.

It's my nephew's second birthday in March, so I'll give that a try and report back here.

Why am I short?
I heard that watching too much porno in your puberty could stunt your growth. So I guess that would be one contributing factor. And my uncle was saying that I didn't drink enough milk, which was also true.
... beside that, both of my parents were short.

So I should suffer!

I'm short since I used to be a Nazi doctor in my previous life. God punished me in my reincarnated form for my past sins. Before deciding my position and form for this particular lifetime, I used most of my skill attributes on dexterity and intelligence. I had very few attribute points left for physical sex appeal.

At least you're taller than the Akash dude in the documentary. He undergone LL to be at your height :D
If you undergo 2 LL at 3 inches each, you'll be at 5'8. Still a good life!

I am from the genetics school of thought. If you live in the west and have a half-decent diet and moderately stable home life, I think you reach the majority of your genetic potential.
