Interesting article what this guy went through https://www.nypost.com/seven/04032007/enter...dy_straker_.htm
<div class="quote_poster">Legacy Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Good read. That sucks for the guy. 5'2 isn't that tall either. AllNet how did you get to be 6'8?</div> I'm actually 6'9 1/2 now. Or I was last time I checked about 2 months ago. I should of stopped growing when I was 21 so I shouldn't be any taller. Hope not anyway. My dad was fairly tall so that might explain part of It. It's a random thing. You never know how tall one could be. My mate is 6'4 and his dad is only 5'10 so sometimes It isn't just about how tall your family are. If I have a son in the near future doesn't mean he will grow to 7'0+ just because his dad is really tall also. Funny thing about the article was this quote <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Just the other night I met a girl at a party, and in order to talk to her I had to lean down to hear what she was saying. This may sound really weird, but the fact that I had to lean down was amazing.</div> Makes me wonder, geesh..how small was this girl?

Yeah height is rather random, there was a guy in my high school that was 6'8" and both of his parents were under 5'8". Also AllNet, many people actually don't stop growing until they're past the age of 22.
<div class="quote_poster">Mercury Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Am I the only one that thinks the title is a bit misleading? </div> lmao, yeah I thought the same thing when I got on here. I was like "Oh no, someone has hacked into AllNets account and is posting spam"
<div class="quote_poster">I-Miss-MJ Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I can think of much better ways to spend $100,000.</div> Hey give the kid a break. The average height for women in the USA is about 5'4 so at least he's around there now.
Damn, 5'2 is still really short. I figure my height (5'8) to be short as well, but I realize I take it for granted. There's a lot of people who wish they were my height. A lot of my friends are 5'10-6ish, which is where I want to be height wise. It doesn't help that my brother is 6'1 while I'm on the average side.
When I first read the thread title, I thought it meant something else...... I saw a story on the health channel about a 2-year program this midget chick went through to grow a foot. they put in tons of hardware and screws, then broke the bones. Maybe the article says they did the same thing but I didn't read it, sorry if they said this
im 5'8 and a junior in high school, i don't feel to short but sometimes i do. when i was in 8th grade i was just like this kid i was 4'10 i was the 2nd shortest kid in my class it really sucked, also seeing how my parnest are 5'4 and 5'7, idk i feel 5'8 is fine i dont want to be too tall or too short, i also felt that my dads height was a height i would like to be at which i have passed (funny cause all my dads brothers are over 6'0) but i feel for this guy being 4'10 and 18
I wish I was taller, I'm only 5'11" and I feel so short when I play basketball cuz I'm like the shortest out there. Then in baseball when I go shake hands after the games, I feel hella short cuz the players look so small from the dugout My dad is 5'9" and my mom is 5'7" but all my uncle are 6'0" to 6'3" on both sides of my family. I guess my grandma's brother from my mom's family was 6'5" and grew 7 inches in his last 2 years of HS and through college.
<div class="quote_poster">authentiq Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">i'm actually hoping i don't grow taller (i'm 6"3').</div> For real I'm 6'2" and feel the same way...I'm projected to be 6'4" but I'm fine where I am.
<div class="quote_poster">thedude9990 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">lol it seems no one is satisfied with their height in this thread</div> Unless you are playing pro sports there isn't alot of use being so tall. You can't help It but in life being really tall hurts you in terms of buying clothes, going through doors, sitting down and having bad problems. I guess It helps If you have guys trying to pick fights knowing you can beat them down pretty bad but really It's not alot of fun. Realistic you don't want to be any taller than say 6'4-6'6.
If someone had to make fun of me for anything ... back in around 8th-9th grade. They would say I'm short. Im 5'6, thats 2 in. below average. Ofcourse I wish I could be taller ... but I be stylin hard while im 5'6 so its all good. 1 question, is this true? The taller you are the bigger your hands will be. Because many people have told me I have big hands for my height. And many girls be like man... u got a big ........
I'd like to be about 5'8-5'9, I'm 6'0, and while I'm not really that tall, I'm pretty tall compared to most people. If I was to be tall, I'd like to be really tall, like 6'9+ Height isnt really that big a difference anyway, I have a friend who is 6'7, and he is only like a head taller than me.
