The irony here. Commentators immediately want to know the height of the dad.
We all know who got all of the fun and who got all of the responsibility.
Brutal.
This was pretty brutal, but not surprising or as abnormal as people want you to beleive.
I remember being very frustrated with my parents for not doing this for me.
A lot of doctors and journalists say that this practice is 'unethical'.
My answer to this would be to question, especially the women who criticize this practice, how tall their partners are.
Growth hormone is paying for it on the back end. Rejecting shorter men as partners is practicing the same approach on the front end.
They wouldn't want it any other way and the ones saying 'they don't care about height' would be the ones freaking out like the parents in the article, or have their height filters set to 5'11+ on the random dating app.
Can anyone come up with any of the other myths that exist as a "means of getting taller". And by myth, I don't mean snake oil. I mean conventional supposed healthy eating habits during childhood that are supposed to make you grow taller. I have friends who drank nothing but soda, sugary drinks and ate junk who all ended up well above 6 feet.
As a kid, I drank milk constantly (parents made sure I did), ate lots of meats, drank glasses of water a day, played sports and got lots of sleep. When I chatted with friends in the past, they swore up and down and that I just didn't eat healthy enough as a child. To make matters worse, I remember an event where a friend of the family told her son to drink milk so he didn't end up like me. It made him change his picky eating habits immediately. It didn't occur to them that they're instilling the idea that shortness is a negative virtue.
Anyway, what are some of the myths that we're told to do in order to get taller?
