Although neither of my parents were tall (mother 5'6", father 6'1"), I ended up so damn short due to Precious Puberty, and probably other things, like malnutrition, a lack of sleep growing up, not getting enough cardio during puberty, etc.

The unofficial formula for height growth is to take the middle of your parents height and add two inches if you're male and subtract two inches if you're female. Meaning a 6'2" father and a 5'6" mother with two kids growing up under healthy circumstances, should end up with a 6'0" son and 5'8" daughter, respectively. Ideally, you would want a tall mother and a tall father, with not that much range between the two, if you were to end up tall. Those who don't end up tall with a tall father, usually have their short mothers to blame.

Of course, parents only determine your potential height range, and those with taller parents have a larger potential height range they could end up in. Environment determines what your final height will be, and whether you will meet the expected height (average of your parents, +2" or -2" inches for gender), surpass it, or fall well below it. Nine to ten hours of sleep nightly, a diet healthy with plenty of vegetables and protein, and daily cardio, is what maximizes one's height potential. This is why student athletes end up so tall. Not because of the sports itself, but because of their lifestyle surrounding it, especially cardio-heavy sports like basketball and volleyball (much less so with football or wrestling, which relies more on muscle).

I'm an inch below what the height formula predicts, but six inches below what my height should've been (two tall grandfathers; both were 6'5" and I still ended up a shrimp).

Did you end up shorter or taller than your parents?

There's people advocating for this and it blows my mind. This stems from transgender people trying to suggest there are no biological differences between the sexes. Despite the fact transwomen are dominating female sports and breaking records, while transmen are consistently getting destroyed by men.

There are undeniable physical advantages to growing up male. Women are the ones suffering and frankly I feel sorry for young female athletes these days.

Im picking no, I have a good friend he's gay and like 5ft 5 and skinny, He literally runs faster that all the girls in my school and he's slow compared to the male track runners.

There are five Social Classes people fall into, in this fictional sci-fi society. Which one would you end up being born as?

The PERFECT Class - Alphas. They are typically celebrities, politicians, CEOs, etc. Not very humble. Men are around 6'1" (185 cm) and women around 5'10" (177 cm).
5% of the population.

The LARGE Class - Omegas. Typically soldiers, cops, firefighters, security, pro athletes, construction, etc. Not very smart, but very obedient. Men are around 6'10" (208 cm) and women around 6'5" (195 cm).
5% of the population.

The MEDIOCRE Class - Deltas. "Everyday" pawns and drones. Sheep and followers. NPC's. Not very freethinking. Disposable and useless on their own. Men are around 5'9" (176 cm) and women around 5'4" (164 cm).
70% of the population.

The RESILENT Class - Gammas. Followers and subordinates. Most have a very limited education and can only barely read and write.

The DEFECTIVE Class - Epsilons. The testers and audiences. Though handicapped and disabled, they are still more respected in society by the Perfect and Large class over the un-respected sheep of the Mediocre class. They effectively serve as adult children and the innocent and pure-hearted of society. Males are around 5'2" (157 cm) when standing and females are around 4'9" (145 cm) when standing.
