AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around concerns about height and growth potential, particularly for individuals around 18 years old. Participants share personal experiences with their heights, noting that growth can continue into the early twenties, depending on when puberty occurs. There is a consensus that growth spurts are linked to puberty, and once growth plates fuse, height will not increase further. Some contributors express feelings about being shorter, while others share that height isn't a significant concern for them. The conversation also humorously veers off-topic, touching on unrelated subjects like penis size and personal anecdotes, but ultimately returns to the theme of height and growth. Suggestions for appearing taller include maintaining good posture and ensuring proper nutrition. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of personal stories, humor, and insights on the topic of height.

6. Does your teenager have Liberal political opinions? The weakness of mind brought on by Self-Abuse often leads to left-wing sympathies

Ahh... That explains some things... Ivan.. What have you been up to!

Russ, the prescription is masterbation every 4 hrs for the next 6months. Perhaps then you will beat your way out of the Kalahari. :biggrin:

INTEGRAL! :smile: I would have expected this from Tribdog, or myself, but you! That's funny.

Getting back to the actual topic, some thoughts on getting taller are simple: stand up straight. Really, good posture can make a difference (only slight but you will look taller if you stand straight). Get a healthy level of nutrients for bone growth. Don't smoke (don't know if it helps or not, but you shouldn't do it anyway). Don't drink coffee (years ago they said it stunted growth, I don't know if that was true or not).

5'6" doesn't sound bad to me. I'm only 5'2"...it's easier to have a conversation with men if I'm not straining my neck to look up at someone a full foot or more taller than me.
I bet they look down your top more often than short guys too.

Thats the main bonus of being taller than most birds. I am about 5'10-11 or maybe 6ft I am not sure.
