I'm 5'7 with european dna, my grandmas are both 5'5 and grandpas r 6'0 and 5'10. How tf am I 5'7 I turn 17 in like 2 weeks, I really have no clue how I'm the shortest guy in the family did I get the unluckiest shit oat? I'm 2.5 inches under my mid parental height too which is 5'9.5. Its so fucking over I get heightmogged by small asian guys in my school :feelswhy:.

Ok but where r these recessive genes even coming from, if my family all sides around is taller than average.
think of it likke this: Tall genes = big letters (T), short genes = small letters (t)

ur grandma: Tt (looks tall, carries short)
your grandpa: Tt (average carries short)
your mom tt (unlucky got both small letters)
Your dad TT or Tt (tall)
You: Tt or tt (got mom's short side, dad couldn't save you)

Your family looks tall on paper but the genes are mixed. You got the short stack
didn't sleep enough, didn't eat enough, didn't exercise enough, i can go on
I've played sports all my life, and I've eat proper diet my whole life. I sleep 7 hours a day for the last year, and from 13-16 I slept like 8 and half lol its not my fault.

from 13-16 I slept from like 10:15-6:30. And starting this year I've slept from 11:15- 6:45. Sleep is cope anyways my dad is 6'1.5 smoked weed, and didn't sleep well during puberty its all cope.

Well its ur mom's fault if ur dad is 6'1.5" that means your mom is 5'0.5" according to the mid parental height formula.

yes ik but her sister is 5'6 I think she had a gh deficiency or smth. Her parents r 5'10 and 5'5.

You need to sleep more and sleep earlier if you want to save yourself

Cope. Your mom is short because she got the same genetic recombination as you did, and you are inheriting that shit. If her parents were 5'10 or 6'0 dad and 5'5 mom, that means your aunt got lucky allele segregation, so she inherited the grandfather's tall variants on the X chromosome. Your mom inherited your grandmother's short alleles along with other short alleles. GH deficiency is also cope because if she had a true deficiency, she would be under 4'10. She just had bottom-percentile genetics for her family, just like you, it seems.

I'll try but is there even a point anymore I am bone age 16.3, my knee plates r still open but idk
This is good news for you. Look up heightmaxing threads on this forum and try to delay the fusion as much as you can with AI's and do HGH.

Not cope 2 generations back the shortest male in my moms family was 5'8 other than her brother who is 5'7. It really doesn't make sense though, all of her second cousins r 6'0+, and shes british isles, Norwegian dna.

hgh is cope no? I've been denied hgh by endocrinologist she said it would barely help me and its not covered by insurance.

How is my grandma short at 5'5? She was born in like the 50s, 5'5 is still above average till this day.

No, there is a phenomenon called regressing toward the mean so it's a statistical tail where short parents produce average offspring. So your grandparents the same as him means you got the height potential that skipped your dad

This makes no sense I've been told by my doctor my whole life I am going to hit 5'9-5'10. I went to the endocrinologist at 13 and she gave me a range of 5'7-6'1.

Because she carried short alleles that didn't express in her but did in your mom because she is 5'0.5". I'm saying you inherited that same shit and your dad's height coudln't even save you there.

damn so two generations of unlucky gene recombination holy fuck its over. No wonder one of my sisters is 5'6 and the other is 5'1 is there any shot I hit 5'9 naturally dude?

well yea your sisters prove it. Shot at 5'9" is unlikely unless you hit another growth spurt or are a late bloomer. Realistically you can hit 5'8 or 5'8.5 if you lock in sleep, protein, d3/k2, loading exercise. Your sister got a good roll, and you didn't. Brutal

I'm a late bloomer I hit puberty at 14.5, and I've grown 2 inches in the past year. I look a little younger than my age rn I look like 15 and I turn 17 in 2 weeks.

that’s not how it works bhai it’s a lot more advanced and you actually need to do some calculations for it to work :owo:

Literally none of this matters, as long as he has meat eggs and dairy incorporated into it which if he's saying he had a good diet I'm 99% sure he has at least these 3 then thats a good diet lol

short explanation, height genes being polygenic is what allows siblings to have differing heights even though they have the same parents and genetic lineage. height genes are split into tall genes that are expressed and short genes that arent and you inherit both naturally from your parents, if you get unlucky enough to not inherit much tall genes you wont be tall vice versa. so when siblings arent the same height assuming they have the same gender and assuming the lifestyle is relatively the same, it's because of tall gene inheritance.

"I am a doctor" 1. that isn't evidence and 2. I don't think a doctor would ever been on a fucking looksmaxxing forum telling people to kill themselves jfl:lul::lul::lul:3. If you really are a doctor (obviously not) you are one fucking retarded doctor

It's not really about "where did it come from" lmao it's moreso just luck and coincidence, you could just randomly be born and be a short gene carrier. The same way someone can just randomly be a sickle cell carrier but not have that gene expressed in them, it doesn't have to be prevalent or have aetiology in your family.

literally lmao, it's cope to some degree tho there's people that were completely sleep deprived did drugs ate like shit and just stopped growing at 14 15 because of it that i know, brutal.
