[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son grew nearly 12 inches from the beginning of 6th grade until the end of 8th. It still only put him around 5ft 2 inches. He topped out at the end of HS around 5ft 5in. [/quote]

Your son started 6th grade at 4 foot 2?

Damn.[/quote]

Yep. He was the smallest 5th grader in ES including the girls. [/quote]

Oh and he has purple stretch marks all over back. They’ve faded a lot though. They started on the left side of his back halfway down and then went down the left side and up the right side from the bottom. Like starting at 9pm on a clock and going counterclockwise until the went all of the way around back to 9pm. [/quote]

That’s what happens when you have rapid growth spurts.  My 18 year old niece is 5’8”, very thin with a waist at about 24”.   After it seemed her growing was over her breasts grew very quickly to maybe a C/D cup and she got deep purple stretch marks.   They have faded too but it still sucks.  It’s pretty common though.
