Quote from: zaozari on February 20, 2022, 10:09:18 PMGood! I only wrote it to encourage you to be united and because it's so frequent that people here, when talk about their supposed "bad genes" also are harsh for their parents one way or the other. I think even the expression "bad genes" (sometimes some call it *uck up genes) is disrespectful for our parents. If we were to be judges of genetics (sounds bad, doesn't it 
? ), contrarily, we should be grateful: almost all of us here didn't inherited a severe lethal, painful, handicaping or 100% dependency disease. And even less one of those genetic diseases that doesn't even give people time to tell.
TBH, I never thought of anyone who is blaming his/her parents for having them to be short is mentally matured or even normal. They are more likely to be just blaming their parents' wrong(at least in their perspectives) ways of bringing them up in their subconsciousnesses instead of actually purely wrong ways of getting them taller to certain heights. IMO they are just implicitly whining about their parents' faults about raising not about height-related stuffs. But anyway I am always laughing off any stuffs like 'You are short and your parents deserve punishments for it!', 'Your parents are not good parents cuz they didn't take any care of your height!', 'Your parents are garbages. You don't deserve this!'(I really came across this sentence in one of China's forums). I am just not willing to dispute with them over this kind of incel and extremely unmatured viewpoints.
Sometimes you don't need to waste your time on those guys. They are also helpless and desparate. I can relate to their pains but not their hilarious and absurd viewpoints. 
Normal to stand only at 162cm born in a nutrtional family of not short parents?

Very stupid argument I agree, they don't realise that they wouldn't even be who they are right now if their parents were different. Wishing to be someone else is also another dangerous mindset, self improvement is the better route.

Yeah. I will not get astonished that they learn some lessons after certain life experiences about how important their parents are actually are and what they are actually contributing to their children without any deliberate revalations. Some boys will ever be 'boys' even after LL they are still 'unmatured' in their mentalities, unfixable even by LL LOL.
Parents are not omniscient and if someone is blaming his/her parents for not bestowing their wanted lives to them then I'd say parents do not deserve this kind of children either. Parents are not your servants or employers or whatnots. If they are raising you absent-mindedly then yeah you can blame them for it if not then the answer has been already pretty self-explained.
You will only know it after having consultation with orthopedists and endocrinologist. However based on the heights of your family members, I suspect you are just short and you don’t have any disorders.
"Genetic information is passed down from our grandparents to our parents, and then from our parents to us. ... However, on average, you do have about 25% of your genetic information coming from each grandparent."
My brother inherited the height of my grandfather (shorter than my mother)
I inherited bow legs from my other grandfather (parents have normal legs)
I don't understand why this community is ignorant enough to not understand that you (can) inherit a good amount of genetical information from your grandparents. Everytime someone is shorther than his/her parents, this community blames malnutrition. Height is 99% genes. Even a hungry or abused child grows tall if it's in his genes.

Mind citing the resource? Or am I out? I don't think geneticists have figured out the mechanism of height inheritances.

In April last yr I checked my GH through medical examinations and the resulted showed 'normal'. I also checked all of other panels related to endocrinology and all revealed normal. So what you said makes a lot of senses.

To be honest I just googled this information based on my assumption that this fact had to be like this, because I am proof of this myself.
Let's disregard this information for now, and look at the facts:
How did I get passed down a "binary" characteristic such a bow legs from my grandfather, while non of my parents have this.
If height was completely random, how come families and cultural groups stay within a certain ame cluster of same heights and other characteristics.
Here is one of many sources:

Kinda complicated and unintelligible sorry. But anyway grandparental genes are for sure scientifically passed down to their offsprings and maybe I inherited many short genes from my 2 grandmas or similar.
