Most of you had probably seen that my main struggle are my proportions. In my opinion, proportions are more important than height. Having a nearly ideal proportioned body I find it hard to decide to do LL or not. Some might just say "fk it and go for it" but in my opinion I don't think it is that way. I am not just short but I also have short arms, short torso, and SHORT LEGS. I don't know what to do anymore. I guess LL isn't even a choice for me. If I was 5'5"-5'8" with a nearly ideal adult-shaped body then yes but since I have a body of that of a pre-teen then I don't know what to do.
I included finally a full picture of me, covered my face ofcourse. Also I am in a dilemma for if my head is too big for my body or too small for my height: http://oi58.tinypic.com/e5r3bm.jpg
Proportions, the only reason why I won't take the risk
The shirt also fits me like 4 inches longer from my half height. Check as well my friend's height for reference, he claims being 5'9" but I think he is 5'10"-5'11", especially since his shoe size is 12 USA (my size is 6.5): http://oi58.tinypic.com/33o1eeu.jpg

Nah its fine thsnks man, you know, that seasonal depression that hits everyone also hits me as well. + more reasoning and concerning when you have your confidence low due to the height... feels bad, but we need to coop with if. Generally I start to get hyper by April lol
Quote from: Uppland on January 15, 2015, 05:39:05 PMYes except that I would split it into two surgeries. It would be safer and look better both. Littlewhiteman should ease up on his proportion rules in my opinion. Since he is very short extra height will benefit him immensely.
That's what I mean. Probably I am short but I am proportionate. I know a lot of guys who are 165 cm tall but they have long-ass arms and torsos. Upper body looks perfect for them and it simply seems like their legs were stunted. I usually compare myself to my 5'4"-5'5" pals and most pf them have the same length as me, probably only half an inch or an inch longer in total. I have noticed that the majority of a short guy height's comes from their torso. Again, I hope I can hit if much 5'3" so I would be able to live with it.
No one even understood it, I don't care about increases by surgery, that's a big no I am going for now. Not even for 5 cm (that's a stupid idea, if I even do it it would be around 8 cm). Anyhow, my main concern is not how tall or short I am, it is actually how proportionated I look. I feel like I have a kid's body but it is again due to my short upper body not because of my height. I had seen a lot of men a little bit taller than me (but not so tall) with a manly upper chesy. And I am not also talking about mass either, it is just their bones. I hope I am a late bloomer or something but I doubt it since my hand and knees growth plates are closed by now.
I don't know anymore, most of you think that LL is the solution for everything but it is not the option for everyone. Again we all have different proportions and some might look great with the LL, some might not. I wish there was a safe way to lengthen the spine again... I am just going psycho guys... I just don't know anymore what I need at this point. At one point I thought that my legs were short but I also find to realize that my torso is as well. This fking sucks... I feel like a child because I am literally trapped in a child's body... with children proportions...
P.S.: I know this indian guy at my school who is 5'8"-5'9" and he looks extremely weird, his legs are too long for his upper body and whenever he sits he seems short as hell... idk if he is a late bloomer or he had LL or anything but idk he grows moustache already but is skinny as hell so...
Thanks Uppland and Rothbard yeah I just over think things... ugh you know, winter is the worst of the seasons ever, yet my favorite one because I get to know little by little my real weaknesses.

Your profile says that you are only 16 years old? What makes you think you stopped growing? I've known guys in high school who had major growth spurts in their last couple years, and even guys that growth spurted after high school. How tall are your parents?
Also, it's hard to tell where your crotch/inseam is in the photo. Can you post a better photo?

My Wrist growth plates are closed, as well as my knees. The doctor gave me a last hope of a spine growth spurt but he told me to not expect a huge spurt if much to expect only 1 inch growth. That was since 6 months ago and I haven't grown anything at all since then and before (been 5'1" since 12-13 years old and I am starting to grow a bears by now).
