Fkn unluck.
According to your signature, you’re 173 cm. But didn’t you say you were 167 cm in another thread? Anyway, your brother is really lucky. 😱
bitter truth, long hegiht is dominant gene and world average will increase by timely gradually
Im filipino
The vast majority of us is short only due to our genes.
It is stupid for someone with a 5.7 dad and a 4.8 mom to think that he became 5.6-5.7 because he didn't sleep enough. In reality, he is very lucky to even be at that height with that parents heights, especially an almost dwarf mother.
I have a 5.9 dad, a 5.2 mom and ended up 5.65 which is completely normal with my parents heights.
I smoked a little at 16yo and started gym at the same year but telling that I stunted my growth for that reasons is completely bs.
I may have ended 1-2 cm taller if I didn't so what? Stunted growth is not 1-2 cm but at least 5-6 and today only in countries with famine children face problems like these.
All of us here have our heights at 99% due to our genes.
Sleep, healthier nutrition and all these may have given to some of us, not even the majority, 1 inch at max, nothing to make us not thinking about LL.
So stop thinking stupid reasons and just accept that our genes made us the heights we are (or were for veterans like me).
Yo dude u r8 to some extent but it is definately not 99% with genes its more like 60 to 70%...coz my parents are 5'7 and 5'1 probably and am 5'8 nearly...but my cousin mom and dad are 5 or 4'11 and 5'5 but he is 5'9 or 5'10 so yeah nutrition especially during puberty is very important coz my cuz surpassed my height only during puberty coz he had better nutrition at home and i was shipped off to some ty boarding school with poor food supplies there...but i did get good marks though😅..and am a lot more intelligent thn him..way more..and he is doing some kind of non academic job with nearly no income..and am pursuing a mbbs degree.
If i was 15 again i would kill myself for trying sigaretes and alcohol at 15.6 years old (i was around 170-171 cm at that time), and would look for hgh asap
Also i never really have/had any troubles with sleeping but still i would have sleep as much as i can at this time
I think naturlly i would never end up like 190 cm or something(because of my short parents) but still could get an extra 5 cm +

Spot on!
Heritability allows us to examine how genetics directly impact an individual's height. For example, a population of white men has a heritability of 80 percent and an average height of 178 centimeters (roughly five feet, 10 inches). If we meet a white man in the street who is 183 cm (six feet) tall, the heritability tells us what fraction of his extra height is caused by genetic variants and what fraction is due to his environment (dietary habit and lifestyle). The man is five centimeters taller than the average. Thus, 80 percent of the extra five centimeters, or four centimeters, is due to genetic variants, whereas one centimeter is due to environmental effects, such as nutrition.

The effect is not negligible with stature shortened by over a third of an inch boys from divorced families, and almost an inch for those who lost a parent through death.
Also, did you read the whole study?
Height is a heritable trait [44] so it is possible that short parental stature is passed on to children, and is also associated with a higher likelihood of premature death. This potential confounding is not possible to test with these data as we have no information about parental height.

You could still get 5cm in your mind.
Not in reality.
At least half teens do alcohol, smoke etc and many of them become very tall.
Other kids never did things like these and ended up short. So anyone would think that he could become taller for an X reason. But in reality, 90% of time he wouldn't.
Not everyone is born to become tall or average. Some people here can't accept it.
