I m a 20 year old male I started smoking about 10 ciggarettes a day from the age of 15-20 (quitting slowly) and was around 5 11 at 15 so kinda had a growth spurt while smoking, my dad is 6 0 and mum is 5 6 and older sister is 5 10 and older brother 6 2.5 and I m only standing at 6 0.5, I also didn t eat too much at around 16-17 due to anxiety and was put on anti-depressants from 17-19 and they are shown to stunt growth from studies, as well as smoking. ( i didn t know at the time ) not too sure how much I grew but from what i ve gathered ive grown around 1.5-2 inches from the age of 15 to now. I have a similar body to my brothers but just skinnier and shorter oh and my armspan is 3.5 inches shorter than my height and from studies again have said they should be the same length or longer. Online height predictors say I would be 6 1-6 2 but i m soo confused! So this is why i would like to ask a professional on the matter. Thanks.
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I can conclude from the description that your anxiety is clearly due to unnecessary thinking. You can think about your health but not excessively. Every people living on this earth have some cosmetic problems on their body. They always neglect those problems mainly because they have something better to do. Don't you have anything better to do other than thinking about your build, height and arm length? Please concentrate on your education and career. Leave other factors to the nature.
