Has anyone figured this out yet? I keep reading things like "maybe if you ate your greens you would've grown more", but what about people like me whose parents cooked every other day and fed me healthy food. Lots of meats, greens and very little junk food. I got plenty of exercise, was an athlete in high school and still I didn't grow to average or above average height? By comparison, one of my best friends in High School ate nothing but junk food (candy, sweets, etc).
They say that height is 80% genetic and 20% environmental. Anyone have any insight as to which genes play into height and what a person can do to mitigate short stature? Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I'm curious.
I did NOTE vote for Trump, but I want you to think about this. When Trump announced his candidacy, no one thought he had a chance in hell. When he was busy debating ahead of the primaries people laughed at him, made jokes at his expense and expected him to fail. When he received the republican nomination, people said he would never be president. Others even conspired against him to ensure he wouldn't have a chance.
Sound familiar? As short men, we are underestimated all of the time, ridiculed and when we do well, others take it as a threat and do everything to protect their own ego. Trump is a well known heightist and has said mean things about short men, but this win is a win for every underdog around the globe.
It is so wonderful that a place like this exists. I found this place by googling "Short Guys". I'm 5'4, 26 and am a Guidance Director for my district. When I was in my late teens, I was in denile about how "important" height was. When I got to college I complete understood what being short men to society. I am successful by anyone's imagination but deal with heightism from time to time.
Anyway, I look forward to chatting with all of you!
