I'm guessing there is a psychological element we all have, where if we don't at least hit our father's height we develop a sort of inferiority complex: height neurosis in this case.
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: Taller on September 18, 2015, 06:26:45 PMI might not have eaten enough because I was a track and cross country runner, so I tried to stay lean in order to run fast for long periods of time and this was during ages 14-17 (critical growing years), so that might be why I didn't grow as much as I thought I should have. When I began to realize I wasn't growing at age 17, I panicked and quit track and cross country and started eating 5x a day. I only grew about an inch afterwards. It's impossible to say exactly why we're short, though. It could be sleep, nutrition, genetics, or all. There was a kid on my track team who grew like 6 inches in a year, despite being very lean and not sleeping that much. He ended up much taller than his father to. You just have to accept that life isn't always fair, and there are much worse things that could happen than ending up shorter than you hoped, so, while it sounds corny, we need to be grateful for what we've got.
Yes this is more or less my situation as well. I'll never be as tall as dad unfortunately so I'll remain the shortest man in my extended family but if I can at least get to something around 183-185 I'll be satisfied. Proportions are important to me but then again I will likely have this one chance to increase my height and a lifetime of improving my looks by building my shoulders or even lengthening my arms. Maybe I'll push it a little and if worst comes to show just wear thin shoes to avoid looking bad.
if i had not studied engineering (i'am an engineer) i would not consider this surgery, since i would not have the money.
This surgery is only made for rich people, those who earn 1500 euros a month can't do it.
I always worried about my height,when i was 13-14 my sister who is 2 years younger than me was my height maybe even 1cm taller.But at that time i was 50/50% at my classrom. But then suddenly i grew 10cm for 18months(puberty),also the most of my classmate grow about 10cm. At age 16 still was 50/50 at class and tallest at house. But since 16 grow just 1cm,and the most of my classmate grow couple cm and was shortest in class at senior year.

Don't generalize because you're too lazy to research good doctors in other countries.
I kinda became insecure when my mom told me that I haven't been growing for years. Then insecurity high rocketed when I was refused dance from a girl. Friends laughed and told me I should wear female heels.
But later insecurity diminished when I discovered that insecurity will just slowdown my work and I Will NEVER BE ABLE TO SAVE UP THE MONEY FOR LL.
This surgery isn't for rich people exclusivlely, a lot of people (who are not rich) buy cars for 40 000-50 000 I'd just rather have LL instead. It all depends on the patiens you have collecting it.
