[quote=Anonymous]No. I was often the shortest kid in my class for many years but now as an adult I am average-to-slightly-above-average height (5'5" woman). Part of it was that I was and still am very small all over -- just a very lean frame. If I'd shot up taller when I was little I would have been painfully skinny. I didn't really get my height until puberty and at that point I had a bit more bulk (still not a ton but a lot more than when I was 7) so while I was still pretty petite I wasn't rail thin. I have a DD who has a similar build to me and she recently went through a growth spurt at 8 and we get comments on how thin she is (which I shut down). She's healthy and growing with no body issues but just shot up two inches when she didn't have much weight to spare for that extra height. I'm hoping she fills out a bit more before she gets taller![/quote]
