[quote=Anonymous]Male here in his early 30's.

I was a a major late bloomer...always in the 5-10th % in height growing up, can't remember weight (I wasn't super skinny but definitely small, maybe 10-20th %).

I was 4'11 and 90lbs going into my freshman year of high school.  My bone age was about 3 years delayed (so at age 16, I had the bone age of a 13 year old).  I graduated high school at around 5'5 130lbsd.  I can't remember exactly what year of college I grew, all I know is after graduation, I had a bunch of old HS classmates comment on how they couldn't believe I was their height now.

In my early/mid-20's, I levelled off at 5'8 and 155-160lbs.  Not a giant by any means but certainly not an outlier anymore and definitely not a detriment in the dating game (although I was always able to pull the "cute" card off pretty well growing up :) ).

There's hope!  Also, my parents decided against any hormone therapies that were recommended by some doctors, because they didn't want to risk me growing three heads years down the road...I'm thankful for that. [/quote]
