Is falling off my growth curve a big problem (or will I just grow in college)?

[jamespilroseiv]

Since the age of 2, I've been in the 90th percentile of height growth (I entered the 93rd percentile when I was 12). However, between the ages of 12 and 18 (my current age), I've fallen about 75 percentile points (only grew from 5'4 to 5'6.5) on my growth curve. I'm now only in the 15.5th percentile on my growth chart. Now, all of my male relatives and ancestors (going back three generations) have been between 5'11-6'1 (with an exception of my uncle being 5'8), and all of my female relatives and ancestors going back three generations are between 5'6-5'8 (with two exceptions of my grandmother and great-grandmother both being 5'2). Now, I'm pretty sure I don't have any growth problems (don't have any symptoms of gh deficiency or anything), but it is reaaaaaally freaking me out that I'm six-and-a-half inches short of my projected height of 6'1. So, is this something to be concerned about, or am I just going to grow those "lost" six-and-a-half inches in college?

I better have a chance. I don't have the money to spend on six inches worth of limb lengthening surgery.

There ain't no jumping back on the growth curve son

It's not like your mom, where you can just jump right back on her and get another free ride in

I was like 5'10" when I was 17/18.

By 19/20 I had grown a feck-tonne and hit my current height. Who knows, you may grow yet.

[GyMoneyGirls]

You don't know how much I hope you are right. Chicks already hate me with my Aspergers--I don't need to be short, too.

Unfortuantely, yeah

[Mastermuffin]

I grew about an inch after high school, from 5'11 3/4 to just under 6'1. so maybe ull make 5'7

Limb lengthening surgery? Come on OP for once don't be a *******.


If it makes you feel any better my grandpa grew 4 inches when he was 18

Hell naw--seventy-three-and-a-half inches or fight!

In all seriousness, I'd be fine with six-foot. Six-foot is the minimum height I'll accept.

This, same thing happened with Dennis Rodman, there's still hope left op.

[WeWillMakeIt]

thats not how growing works, you were never meant to be 6'1, you got manlet genes get over it

[CHARBACK]

Why the fk are you asking misc? Ask your doc to x-ray your growth plates.

[jamespilroseiv]

Height predictors say I should be 6'1.

[jamespilroseiv]
