    I was 5'5" in 8th grade and stayed at that height until a small final spurt at 18 to reach 5'8."

    I don't know man, I'm still trying to get over the fact you're admitting you need 4 more inches. :eek:

    Well you know, I'm not sure that there's a guy alive that would turn four more down. ;)

    I grew 6 inches in 6 months during 10th grade.

    I stopped growing by 12th grade at 6'1".

    We are talking about non-genital growth right?

    I'd been praying for the opposite... I stopped growing since 15-16. In fact, I was aways the shortest among the boys and girls in my classes. When I was around 13, my mother started feeding me different kinds of chinese herbs to 'enhance' my height, especially tienqi (Panax Notoginseng). Maybe it did help, I'm 5'3" now.

    I'm 5'3"-4" now...curse these Asian genes...and I'm 19. I think I'll just wear these Lugz boots for the rest of my life. Add an inch and a half. Plus, they're black, so I won't have to paint them like George did on Seinfeld.

    Anything? You know, there's a treatment where doctors break your legs, and when your bones heal, they are extended very slightly. So they break your bones, wait for you to heal, break again, etc. Do it over 2 years or so. I hear it's very painful. But since you'll do anything, just thought I should let you know of that option.

    I have an Asian friend and he's 6'1''. I don't think it's Asian genes, just your genes.
