SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the age at which individuals typically stop growing taller, with participants sharing personal experiences and insights. Many contributors suggest that growth can continue into the early twenties, often linked to the timing of puberty. The consensus indicates that while some may experience a final growth spurt around ages 22 to 23, others may stop growing earlier. Factors such as genetics and hormonal changes play a significant role in determining final height.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of human growth and development stages
  • Knowledge of puberty and its effects on height
  • Familiarity with growth hormone and its role in physical development
  • Awareness of genetic factors influencing height
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the role of growth hormone in human development
  • Explore the impact of puberty on height and physical growth
  • Investigate genetic factors that determine height potential
  • Learn about the effects of nutrition on growth during adolescence
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for teenagers, parents, and educators interested in understanding growth patterns and the factors influencing height development during adolescence.

I'll show you mine
how big is your monitor?

Tribdog, my monitor got a shower with hot tea after i finished luaghing i realized i burnt my legs as well :smile: :smile: :smile:

Saint, as a matter of science, chill out, it is "proven" that the width is more important than the "lenght" of the [it]. As a matter of sociology, in my frame of reference, any man/women change a biological thing in themsleves [unless for medical/health reasons] are nothing but a *****.

P.S: Why did i say "sociology"? I actually know the answer :biggrin:

Saint, enough already! sheesh!

Saint, go back to basic math. The question was about height, not length or width.
 
  • #36
Are you 12 years old or something? Your questions sound like it! Normal men grow out of talking like that. Actually, I'm not sure normal men ever talk about stuff like you do.

I think there was a thread on this sometime ago. I'm 5 feet 5 inches, not too bad for a girl. :biggrin:

Chiropractors can't do anything for your height. If your problem is a lack of growth hormone and your epiphyseal plates in your bones haven't fused yet (that's what stops your growth), then you could get growth hormone from an endocrinologist, but results are variable and controversial. Anything more drastic than that surely isn't worth the risk. Being short isn't the worst thing in the world. I get to laugh when people bump their heads on things I just walk under. :biggrin:

Are you kidding ! Sure they do. At the age of 7 of course :biggrin:

Anyway, there was another [thread=43017]thread[/thread] about shoe sizes, if anyone is interested in statistics :wink:

Saint ! You must be joking !

Intensive urine testing: Science has discovered that men produce sperm cells constantly. All that sperm has to go somewhere! If an unmarried man doesn't masturbate, all the sperm cells he produces end up in his urine. It would be very simple to require unmarried men to submit frequent urine samples, which could then be examined under a microscope. If an unmarried man has a low concentration of sperm cells in his urine, it means he has been having orgasms one way or another! Therefore he is guilty of either Masturbation or Fornication and should be imprisoned! Random urine testing in the War On Drugs has been a very powerful weapon! We should not hesitate to harness it for use in the War On Masturbation!

Just unbelievable to me ! :bugeye:

What does this have to do with the thread topic? Seriously Saint, I think you're just trying to start controversy. It's funny but it's really getting annoying.

EDIT:

having read through the site, it's obvious it's a joke. No one could be this stupid.

"4. Does your child listen to "Rock And Roll" music? If a teenager has rebelled against God far enough to listen to the Devil's music, then he or she has almost certainly rebelled enough to try Masturbation.
5. Are there semen stains on your son's bed sheets or underwear? There's only one way they could have gotten there! Line up all of your sons at least twice a day for a family Prayer Meeting and Underwear Check!
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.
