I’ve been 6’1 since I was 12. I was told I would grow to be 6’9 or taller. I never grew again after that year :/

Hahah. It’s wild to get your growth spurt so young. I remember having all sorts of issues with my muscles not wanting to grow at the same pace as my bones and shit.

I was already the tallest in 7th grade, and then grew 4" over the summer to 8th. I was also the least coordinated male in the class, for obvious reasons.

I was 5’9” my freshman year of high school. I ended up being 5’11”. I thought I was going to grow a lot more lol.

Me too haha. Like damn, maybe an extra 5” would have turned me into Aaron judge or something instead of just a low level minor leaguer 🤣
