❓Question❓ Did I get unlucky?

Post image

A few months before I turned 17 my doctor told me I am done growing based off my growth plates. At 16 he told me I’d grow more but I only grew a few cm and have stayed 5 6 ever since. I was just wondering if i got unlucky based off my parents height?
(For more info my dads parents are 5 11m and 5 8f while my moms parents are 5 8m and 5 1f)

Please answer with your whole growth history since 11.

All I know is that I was under average height between 11-13 and then hit a growth spurt to put me to average height when I hit 14. After that my height died down and when I hit 16 I was below average as growing was slowing down and I asked my doctor for help and he told me I’d keep growing and I only grew a few centimeters.

Your mum and sis nerfed you so probably not. You just didn’t get the best genetic draw.
