My dad was born in the United States and I too as well as the rest of my sibling were born here in the US) and I remember a long time ago in a video call with my doctor (before 2020 lol 😅) and he said based on the X rays he took I could potentially grow up to seven feet. I’m sixteen and 5’9 and a half and according to the results of my physical I’m actually pretty tall for my age (67 percentile) but I doubt I will ever grow that tall 😢…
    Well it’s not that big of a deal at least it’s better than being 5’6 or 5’7. I think I’m going to choose a 5’6 woman and hopefully have sons taller than me (5’6 is above average for a woman and if a woman is that tall she definitely carries the genes for height. I know that in my case I inherited most of my physical characteristics from my mom’s side of the family and I’m the oldest so I’m sure my eldest definitely will as well…)
