My daughter has "Idiopathic Short Stature" -- meaning she has normal levels of human growth hormone in her blood, but for unknown reasons, she isn't growing much. Taking shots of growth hormone six nights a week is hoped to boost her eventual adult height by three inches or so. She just turned ten and is a touch under four feet tall. She is very excited at the prospect of getting taller.

Follow up 9/23/10: it has been a year and my daughter has grown exactly 4.0 inches, which is double what she would normally grow in a year.

  • Im a male 17 and 5'11 and i feel short - :( no peer pressure either - i just hate my height - wish i was taller!!

  • @karchun9860 --

    (1) you probably aren't done growing

    (2) 5'11" already puts you above average for a US male.

  • awes there's no issue of being short.

  • @mYcHeMiCaLCaThY --

    "awes" ? What does that mean in this context? The only use of "awes" I can think of is like this. "Jane awes John with her mathematical abilities."

    Ignoring that word, adults I've spoken to who are under five feet tall would disagree with your assertion. I'm glad it doesn't matter to you, but many people are unkind, and there is the simple inconveniences of living in a world designed for taller people.

  • @zachfresh -- I'm not a doctor, so I advise you to go visit yours to find out from someone qualified. HGH isn't a risk-free magic bullet, so don't trust what you might read off the internet or ads touting miraculous results.
