Hey! First post here.
So I turned 16 like a month ago and I’m 6’3. I have some friends that are a year younger and they are already very close to me in height. They are like 6’0 or maybe even 6’1 tho I don’t think so. I’m sure at least one of them will surpass me in height and i feel like height is my only “quality” or thing that makes me different from others.
I know this is just such a stupid take since I’m tall and I should not be complaining but this is still bugging me. (This is not a “how tall will I be” post, please don’t remove post or ban). I just want to know how to deal with this

At least everyone says I look A LOT taller than my height so there’s that

One year ago, my dick was 15,5 cm hard, now it’s 18,5 cm. Is that enough?

I’m kind of a tall girl and I love platform shoes and stuff but I’m too insecure to ever wear them. I got a boot that has like 3cm ish heel and Ik it would stupid but I still can’t bring myself to feel comfortable wearing it (even tho I love boots)

I thought I’d maybe ask in case any of y’all have advice or smth

I am a 16.5-year-old male standing barefoot at 168.5 cm. Standard childhood calculators predicted I’d cap out at 5'4" because my mom is 4'10" and my dad is 5'5", but I have already smashed past that. My dad’s sisters are quite tall at 5'6"–5'7", proving our family carries a strong, delayed paternal growth blueprint.
My body is currently in the middle of an active, late-bloomer growth surge. My voice is in a transitional phase—it cracked a few months ago but hasn't settled deep like my peers—and my facial hair is still just soft fuzz, confirming my development is running about two years behind. My metabolism has turned into a blast furnace, completely digesting a massive meal of four heavy aloo sandwiches in just two hours. This internal expansion is causing deep growth aches in my shins, involuntary heartbeat-like twitches in my upper calves as the muscles stretch, and a sudden breakout of acne across my jawline, shoulders, and back.
With my growth plates wide open and my hormonal peak hitting right now, my most realistic final landing zone is **175–176 cm (5'9")** by the time I am 18.5.
Is this realistic for me? Like atleast hitting 175cm

Hy. I am 18M Indian. My parents average height is 5'6". And my height is 5'5". I have grew from 5'4" to 5'5" only, in the past 1.5 years. I am insecure about my height and I also get mogged due to height shits. I don't know whether my growth plates are still open or closed. Anyone please suggest me something that I could reach atleast 5'8" or 5'9".

Don't tell me about the genes thing. Suggest something else I could do except these laser treatments or bone treatments that cost money. Suggest some natural or cheap ways.

Mine is 5.9 feet

If you are an boy and your height is 6ft+ or if you are a girl who is into tall boys,,, then you can dm me for joining the group

I am chatting with a girl for some time, and the vibes are good, chemistry, she laughs and makes jokes, etc.

Due to several reasons (severe accident, genetics, etc), i am very short (5,1ft)

The only thing that scares me, it seems from the photo she's tall (like 5,6) and i am afraid that might be a dealbreaker.

I don't want to ask her height, because that's akward, and then she will ask mine also.

On the other hand, not mentioning it, so she finds out when meeting in person might kill the moment as well. honestly, Don't know what to do.

I know height isn't the only thing that matters, masculinity, confidence, etc are very important as well, and those are fine,... only my height

Any sugestions on how to get along with that, and how to handle the height difference tactful?

Looking forward to hear your respectfull comments

I just in the usa and I am in highschool sophomore year at 16 turned last month ago. I just wanna know how it feels to be 5'10 1/2 or 5'11 in the usa. how people will treat me and how life will be for me if i dress drippy.

My son is 13 and 2 months. He was 5'11 and 1/2" on this 13th bday. Now he's 6 foot and 1/2". We just had to go get him some 13s for shoes as he outgrew his 12s. He's also got huge hands. His hand span from pinky to thumb is 10 inches. Obviously can palm a basketball easily.

Here's his height by birthday

10 : 5'1

11 : 5'4

12 : 5'8

13 : 5'11 and 1/2

I'm 6 foot. His mom is 5'8. So neither of us are short, but not tall. I am one of the shorter guys in my family. My dad (his grandfather) is 6'3 and most of my uncles/cousins are 6'3+. I have one uncle who's 6'9 and a cousin who's 6'7. He doesn't have any cousins or uncles so I can't compare there.

He hasn't really had any pain but his ankles and feet crack so loud when he walks lol.

No idea if it correlates but both my wife and I grew 7 inches from 13-14 in one year. Then an inch or so only after that.

Yes, he plays 🏀 lol...anyone have a similar growth scenario/genetics? Where you end up?
