This is somewhat similar to me, but to a lesser extent.
Was taller than almost everyone my age forever, but then stopped growing at 6' in 8th grade or so. Then tons of shortmos I grew up with ended up being taller than me.
Do this day it blows my mind when people say they kept getting taller during high school.

This. I started lifting for sports at about 14 or 15 and ate right so always wondered why this happened. Just genetics. My mom was 5’1 but my dad was 6’0. Wanna make sure it doesn’t happen to my sons. My wife is 5’8 and her dad is 6’5 so hopefully it works out.
Would much rather be 5’9 and stop growing in 6th grade than the opposite where I was 5’2 in 6th grade and limped to 5’9. When you were “normal” at some point the changes sort of blend in and you don’t get made fun of. Never really thought about my height until I found this board.

Damn bro. Opposite here. Was waaaay tall for my age but stopped growing at 5’9 in 4th grade. Started again in 9th grade and didn’t stop until sophomore year of college. Now I can’t fit in airplane seats or compact cars it’s 120 being freakishly tall.
