I thought I would talk a little about my growth spurt and would love to hear others


Anyway back in the day, 11 year old me decided that it was time to get BIG. I had never been a small kid, pretty average i guess, having stretched from 4ft10 to 5ft4 over the space of two years. However my body was sick of waiting and decided to kick things into gear quickly and in the space of six to nine months this little boy got very very BIG.
I don’t remember that much of the spurt just that i knew i was growing and was growing fast. I was the biggest boy in my class, towering over everyone who ranged from 4ftsomething to 5ft6 at a stretch. I looked out of place, i felt weird. I Remember getting funny looks from this older man who told me i should be hanging out with kids my own age, mistaking me for some tall teenager standing amongst a bunch of little kids rather than just another normal boy who just happened to be bigger than everyone else his age.
At the time there were things that were very difficult about growing to this size but being big for my age had its benefits and gave me lots of attention.
One thing i remember very clearly about my spurt was growing through clothes very quickly. This pissed my mum off a lot as she had to buy me so much stuff until it got to the point where she had to start asking to borrow things from people because we couldn’t afford it.
I remember as i got closer to my 12th birthday i was outgrowing my stepdads size 8s very quickly and mum being in a panic as I needed new black shoes for school photos. My cousin Paul, who was 24/25 at the time was happy to help as he was one of the biggest guy i knew at the time at 5ft10. He had huge size10s and there was no way i would go through two sizes so quickly. Although they were a lil big for my size9 shaped feet they were much better than the little ones that too tight and uncomfortable.
Two months later though and having stretched to 5ft9/10 and a half my feet had become too big for these adult shoes. At size 11 (a month or so away from my final size of 12s) my feet were now bigger than my adult cousin.
Soon Big Foot became one of the many nicknames i got at school and who could blame my classmates who were still in the child size sections shopping for things. My size 11/12s look ridiculous compared to my friends 3s and 5s and even my school teachers feet were dwarfed by me. I was now the same size as my age and i got loads of attention as a result. My mum was happy that i didn’t grow anymore and so was i at the time.

Any questions about my spurt feel free to post here or message me oh and Please let me know about your spurt :)
(please keep this post clean)

I tried to find the post on the old board, but could not find it.

It was great going from being the youngest and littlest to the youngest and biggest in the space of about 2 years (11-13)


I'm not overly tall (6-1, 230), but my family is short and scrawny. My Dad & my brothers (all older) are all about 5'8” and they all wear the same size shoe, 8. Back in their teenage days, my brothers were in the 130 pound range and my Dad was about 150. Even now, they're no more than 150. I outweighed my brothers by the time I was 12 and was as tall or taller by the time I was 13 or so. My 2 oldest brothers are twins. I don't recall how much one of the twins weighed when he was a high school freshman, but I know he tried out for the football team and the basketball team all 4 years and never made it due to his size (or lack thereof). I think he was the only brother who was sensitive about his height. For a while, he tried to deny that I was taller/bigger than he was, which he could do if there's just an inch or so difference and a few pounds. But eventually, he had to give that up. One time, when he denied it, I didn't say anything...I just went over and stood next to him.

Awesome story! My story is very similar to yours with regard to big feet. I ended up size 13 by the time I was either 13 or 14. I outgrew all 3 of my older brothers and my Dad by age 11. (I think I posted the story on the old site one time) How tall did you end up?
I also was size 13 when I was 13!
An real tall for 13-y.o. I was to hit a growth spurt. But I started smoking a lot, even more than other boys.
And my growth slowed down drastic. But my feet kept growing fast.
So, I'm 6' tall now, an got size 17-18 feet.
Cheers!
Nick.

If you didn't start smoking you probably would have reached 7ft...

Yeah, prolly bout dat, man!
Our swimmer Ian Thorpe got size 17 feet, an he is 6'5".
An I'm only 6' tall and got feet size same as him.
Damn!
But there was another guy in old heightgroup, Outcast.
Same age as me, same foot size. Cept he was bout 5'11' - even shorter than me.
I asked him how dat happened.
He wasn't smoking, nothing unusual. Just his height growth slowed like mine, an his feet kept shooting forward.
His mom was taking him to doctors, but they could not find anything.
So, I dunno if dat was really smokes that stopped me growing real tall.
Cheers, bro!
Nick.

I had a few massive spurts as a teen. I was always the tallest in my class since I was 7. I had a spurt at 11 when I grew from 5ft6 to 5ft11 in 18 months. I remember in September when I went to school a lot of my friends were horrified by my size! I could palm their heads easily and pick them up. Then I started playing basketball which I think helped my growth massively and went from 6ft1 to 6ft4 at 14 and was officially the bigfoot. I couldnt wear normal socks anymore and I was the bully of school haha, finally I ended up from 6ft4 to 6ft7 in 6 months when I was 17 and stopped there.
