If he lives in a pretty developed country, but severely depressed, extremely sleep deprived (0-2hours a night) and eat tons of carbs without vitamins and proteins since 5th grade?

How did you come up with this arbitrary number? 3cm would make a great difference to me, not a totally different world, but a GREAT difference.

Did you know if you had symptoms of malnutrition?  Also, are you sure that your average sleeping time were 2 hours? Those are factors that could stunt you growth rate by a good amount of cm, but you have to know if you are not exaggerating. Severe malnutrition is what I am asking for.

Malnutrition stunts your growth. But it depends if you are actually malnourished or not.

Genetics.

 Height is 80% genetic but not in the sense that 80% of your height is genetic, but that 80% of the deviation from what your prospective height was supposed to be is due to genetics.

 Let's say that according to the formula your height was supposed to be 180cm. That means that 80% of the 12cm difference between your 168cm and 180cm is due to genetics while 20% is due to lifesyle and such... So 0.2X12=2.4 which means that 2.4cm out of the 12cm is due to lifestyle.

In genetic linkeage studies using SNPs scientists were able to pinpoint participants height accurately (by a margine error of 0-3cm of difference from what they expected).

I'm positive of the sleep thing.

I didn't malnutrition, but I used to eat mostly a lot of rice and little chicken or egg because I thought it was cheap. and my mother used to teach the habit of not eating the chickens/fish too many because other family members also wanted to eat.

That's why it became a habit that I preferred to eat rice more eventhough my family was far from being financially challenged. I didn't realize I was fking myself up. So didn't I when I decided to sleep 2 hours a night. Sometimes I didn't sleep at all and went to school directly.

I had sleeping problem, I was under too much pressure during my school time which made me prefer to be awake at night so because my subsconcious knew that if I slept right away, I'd be facing the morning directly.

Okay, how do you explain my 5'11" friend, with a 5'6.5" father and a 4'11" mother.

We are in agreement. 3cm is a huge difference just fking lol. This highly invasive surgery yields a 5-10cm gain.
