[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 14-year old was 5’1-5’2”” most of last year.  He is now 5’9” turns 15 next week.  He still has a lot of growing- no facial hair.  He was one of the shorter kids on his team last year and in school.

His younger brother is even shorter for his age.

My brother and I both grew in college.  We are definitely late growers.

5’7” is not too short.  He will be fine!  The average American woman is now 5’3”-5’4”.[/quote]

Thanks. My son turns 15 in three weeks and he is 5”4 :([/quote]
My son is 15 and 3 months, and he is not even quite 5'4. But, he hasn't hit puberty  yet.  The only visible sign is his leg hairs are getting thicker.   Delayed puberty runs in the family on both sides.  His dad is tall, but I'm super short.[/quote]

My son is 5'4" at 14.  My husband is 6'4" but grew 8" in college.  When we went to his high school reunion it's all anyone talked about all night long.   I tell my son to not give up hope! [/quote]

What? That’s pretty average[/quote]

DP. 6”4 is certainly much taller than average! And so is growing 8” in college. But DCUN folks are truly terrible at statistics. [/quote]
