Even if you got an x-ray for your left hand, that doesn't mean that all the bone has hardened. The vertebrae should open for a good amount of time after puberty is "finished," along with many other parts. Although, some cases can be delayed growth patterns in which the body will sometime grow uncontrollably for a short time to make up for what's lost, but it's a rare feat.

I started puberty when I was ten, and it sucked seeing all my friends get taller later on only to stop acknowledging me.

I started when I was eight. It was some real bull .

What's odd though is that our best basketball player in my highschool started puberty when he was 8, but he finished growing around 12-13. What's even more peculiar is the fact that he is 6"2.

So that rose my confusion in the precocious pattern...

Same thing with a dude in our highschool. He's about 6'6 or so, and he started puberty with me when he was only about 2-4 inches taller than me.

My dad also started puberty at eight years old. He was 6'2 (188CM) and stopped growing by the time he was 12 years old. By 13 he already had all his wisdom teeth. I started puberty at a later age than him but am still much shorter. Genetics is a funny thing indeed.

It's all bull , no one knows for sure what exactly makes us grow because it's such a complicated process. Taller parents equal a greater chance to be tall and growth hormone might help -it might. Other than that you just better hope you're one of the lucky ones because this shiet is all a lottery as  far as we are concerned. I feel kinda bitter thinking about it -if I had grown just 5CM more I'd be so much better off -5CM! That's like nothing when you are 12, it's insignificant when you look at a ruler but now I gotta do some surgery straight from hell just to be 5CM taller -it really, really sucks.

We don't have to, we want to. With braces, we want straight teeth so our peers won't shame us into extrinsic disgust. With LL, we want a tall stature so our minds don't shame us into intrinsic chaos.

This wouldn't be the case if our surroundings didn't pressure our mindsets to dysfunctional perspectives, desiring what we can't.

What a messed up world we live in.

Man you are 5'7" not 5'6" dont even get upset. We share the same growth chart by the way. I was expected to be 5'6" at first, then at 12 I was expected to be around 5'11" but then that was when I stopped growing and now I am stuck with 5'1"... i hope I can manage to get to 5'2". As for the HGH, it didn't help me that much. I went through 4
months of HGH treatment and if much I only passed from 153 cm
to 154.5 cm IN 4 MONTHS which is insignificant. i hope i can still grow 3.5 cm more from my spine to get to 158 cm and later do LL and be 163 cm tall proportionate.

Hey Slim_tim have you ever been in the shower and then you were cleaning your ass, and then you put a finger in your ass, and then it felt kinda good?

Also: who is the real bitchh, the bitchh or the guy bitching about the bitchh?
