a question for short men?



If your mother had the chance to make it so you reached average height, would you have wanted her to take it?


My sons projected height is 155-160cm and he is shorter than ALL boys his age, he is now eligible for human growth hormone, which in australia is free for children with short stature. Should I take this chance to get him to average height or do I let nature take its course. I myself am only 147cm due to illnesses at birth and was severely bullied so my heart says to get him to average so he is less likely to go through what i did, but im not sure if that is the right reason to try this treatment. sorry for the long winded story and thankyou for your time.

  1. Well I’m not short, but I know alot of short friends who hate their height. They said they don’t want to be tall, just average height so they wouldn’t have to be looked at weird all their life.

  2. If he is eligable for HGH go for it. He will thank you later

  3. that’s about 5ft right? well that is a hard decision you really need to just weigh your options, pray about it, and think about the risks and benefits. that is shrt but it could be worse
