I was a very short kid. Abnormally short. My doctors thought there was something wrong with me. My brother is two years younger than me, and people started confusing us for twins when I was four and he was two. After another two years, people started assuming he was older. I think the time that there was the greatest dichotomy between my age and height was when I was eleven and looked about six. My brother was nine, and looked it, and our other brother was four, but looked about three. (He was very short too, albeit not as much as me.)
He was taller than me until I was fourteen and he was twelve. For some reason I started to catch up with normal height around then. I say it’s puberty, but statistically, kids who are as short as I was tend to stay short. They grow during puberty. But not quite enough to catch them up with their peers. I still look rather young, but it’s not because of my height. My college friends are very confused now when I say that puberty hit me like a truck. But it really did. It changed my height a lot, and very quickly.

Yeah, it sucks. Obviously I'm tiny to them now which is awful and have been for a while
Any questions on it, let me know
Men tend to get taller later than women because women tend to hit puberty first. It's pretty common.
I stopped growing at 16, I saw others getting taller than me.
I'm 174cm while my girlfriend is 181; my sisters are 176 and 178 and my female best friend is 178 too.
I’m short as shit, so personally I really just feel less than a taller guy, but really it’s not too bad.
