Im 5'8 and was never bullied about it. The insecurity started when i found out i was shorter than my dad and lil brother i taught it was because of my bad lifestyle. Then i found out it is just genetic because i ate a lot of protein, was never ill and athletic. Now i still want to be taller but im not insecure about it since im not really short and it wasnt my fault. Whats your story?

I can relate too. 164 for a male is hell
No one here whose depression started by thinking its their own fault because of bad eating habits? I think bad eating habits cant effect your growth if you in your teenage years, didnt had signs of malnutrition and wasnt ill. Look to rivaldo (footballer) he hasnt teeth due to malnutrition and he is 6"1

But hey, at least I'm 5'10 and that's really not a bad height, although it would be really, really nice to be tall, and I always expected to be since most of my male family members are very tall. So I used to be extremely insecure about my height. I still get uncomfortable when in the shorter third of men in a room.
Im the same as you, played almost everyday football at age of 14 (wanted to be a pro footballer lol) and did taekwondo from 9 to 12. Didnt eat a lot of veggies but ate everyday bread with cheese and chips. Funny thing is that i was tall as a kid and my dad and lil bro where short as kids. Glad this is reality cuz it shows it wasnt my fault
Quote from: Taller link=topic=2670.msg41729#msg41729 date=1I'601116Yeah I was really tall as a kid too (90-95th percentile) so I was told my whole life growing up that I'd be at leasatand possibly as tall as 6'6. So that's why 5'10 came as such a huge disappointment.
I just didn't grow very fast once I hit puberty and only grew an inch after 17. Interestingly, my dad was 6'2 by the time he was 13 or 14 and fully developed by 15. His brothers grew more slowly and are much taller than he is.
My dad is 5'11 and was a late bloomer. He grewed till 21/22. At age of 10 they expected me to be 6'1. I started quit earlywith having spotsaround age of 11 and had a semi thick mustache at age of 12. Now im 19 and i look like a man. So i have almost nothing of my dad. Only the same toes. I look like my mom who is 5'3. Ive seen on a lot of sites that eating unhealthy and not sleeping enough is quit common under teens.

Possibly because we feel like we did something in our youth that made it so we didn't hit our father's height; whether we had control over it or if we were coded to be this height.
Thats true, if my dad was 5'6 i would nevrr ever worry about height. I dont think i stunted my growth cuz almost every teenager lives unhealthy becuz of smoking etc. But once you are involved in this its hard to forget it all

Quote from: Penguinn on September 19, 2015, 09:53:10 AMDon't generalize because you're too lazy to research good doctors in other countries.
Im not lazy but i cant trust a doctor in a poor country without any health laws.
