I 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.
Saw this thread on /r/tall a few weeks ago, it's all over the map. Some early, some late.
All the tall people in r/tall say they have personal problems with being tall but I call bullsh*t, nothing is worse than being discriminated by society. Fu*k all of those "No space for my legs in cars/airplanes"

Many there are actually really tall (190cm+). They have legitimate problems.
However, it's like the difference between the small and big... male genitalia... communities. One community's problems aren't... as big as those of the other one. They also both have communities on reddit.
Didn't mean to derail this, wasn't expecting rage. I was curious about how many growth spurts there were and came across it via Google, not specifically searching within /r/tall (I don't even lurk there, for obvious reasons).
Sorry about that!
I apologize if I have offended anyone, you are right @myloginacct I didn't see the perspective of those that are above 190+ cm. I think it's disingenuous of them to downplay the benefits of being tall while saying they have less room/space for their legs etc.

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
