i reached my current height at 13. Thought i was gonna be a giant being 5'5 at that age, towering over my dad and than stopped growing... EVERYTHING stopped growing!
Was a shock to me. Cause my dad being so short i was afraid i would be short but when i reached 5'5 and towered over my dad i thought i was gonna be tall to average. I LOVED that idea and than it all just stopped and i still ended up short...That is interesting that you would stop growing at 13. Very unusual.
I think mu fascination with tall people comes from my dad being so short. He was always picked up and tossed around by much bigger men and even boys. Was quite an experience growing up seeing him that powerless to other men and even young boysI stopped at 14/15 - I was 6ft5 so everyone assumed I would be much taller, and I think that's where my fascination with taller people came from. By the end of the Upper Sixth (18 years old) 2 boys had overtaken me. Interestingly I had glandular fever (mono) and was ill for months and that's when I stopped.
For me, when I was 17. Grew to 5'8" and that was the end for me. My best friend, whom I used to be taller than until 16, kept growing until he was 19 and stopped at 6'2." He never let me forget how much I teased him when I was taller.
