Do you guys think part of the reason you are short is because you started puberty early? What I have noticed is that short people usually stop growing earlier, so unless they used an Ai (like arimidex) their growth plates fuse by 16 even though males usually grow up until 18-21

Quote from: myloginacct on February 26, 2018, 04:43:24 PMI did always have the impression that people with later puberty tend to grow up taller. That might be true.

One of the few exceptions I've noticed were in people of East African ancestry. They still seem to grow tall even when they start puberty early.

What do we consider early puberty, before 12?
I also thonk facial/body hair might indicate how much growth a person has left. Though some people did say that facial hair is not correlated to height growth

Quote from: YourSpaceBoyfriend on March 02, 2018, 03:40:32 PMYes, around 11yo

That's very interesting. I have heard that when people get facial and chest hair they are at tanner stage 4.8+ and have either stopped growing or will not grow for much longer. I would say that your experience is rare (though many wish it wasn't).
