I was really really really short up until around 9th grade (4' 10"ish), they put me on growth hormone for a while (a nightly injection, it didn't really hurt though) and now by the beginning of my senior year im 6' 0". A bit taller than I was expecting... My dad is 5'10" and my mom is 5"3"-5'4".

Lucky bastard. I wish I was put on growth hormones. I'm 5'4.

Well, supposedly the doctor determined that I actual needed it. My body was putting out much less than it was supposed to, which could have caused a lot more problems then just being short. They didn't just put me on it because I didn't want to be short...I could have cared less.

I'm like 6" taller than my mom and about an inch and a half shorter than my dad.

edit:

Mom: 5'2"
Me: 5'8"
Dad: About 5'10"
13 yr old bro: Almost 5'9"
And my little 7 yr old bro is slated to be taller than my 13 yr old bro.

I got stuck with the short genes.

Taller than both.

Mom: 5' 5"
Dad: 5' 9"
Me: 5; 10"

I think my dad has started shrinking though, and that's why.

Taller than both. My mom is like 5'10" or 5'11" I think and my dad is 6'2". I'm just under 6'5" and my younger brother is just over 6'5".

shorter than both.

my dad is 6'3", and my mom is 6'1". my sister and I are both 5'9".

we're both in our early 20's, so it seems safe to say that she and I have stopped growing :(
