@CastletonSnob1 Dude. We hashed this out with you a month ago. How are you thinking that bumping your own thread will give you any additional information?
To reiterate what you have already been told:
- Yes, you are shorter than your parents, but not so short that it could not be explained solely by genetics; it’s unlikely, but not impossible.
- Having been born prematurely, in and of itself, probably does not explain your shortness.
- Having been seriously sick as a young child, however, might be a partial explanation.
- There are several conditions which might be related to your height, as @DSeid has repeatedly explained to you, but random people on the internet simply cannot do more than speculate as to whether you have any of those conditions.
If this is eating at your mind – which it clearly is, as you have created several threads here to talk about your height – the only advice worth getting from any of us is, as it was a month ago, is: talk to your doctor.
Moderating:
Here is our rule re thread bumping:
Bumping threads . Thread bumping – that is, posting a short message solely to get a thread moved to the top of the thread list – is permitted once per thread only. Thanking thread participants for their contributions does not count as thread bumping.
This is the second thread you’ve started on this exact same issue, so this is more akin to a third thread bump. Since the issue has been thoroughly discussed previously, I’m closing this thread.
Do not start another thread to discuss the issue of your height. Doing so may risk your posting privileges.
