I am 184 cm and rest of family below 178cm. Y tall? Play alot of basketball and drink alots of milk during puberty

I am 182cm. My mum says that it is because when I growing up she give me drink a lot of peanut roots soup.

I got no idea whether that is true or not lol.

if by any chance u diet whn u r on a growing period, u will b short...

i regret myself on dieting during younger days..

Too late. When young, drink those fresh milk from Bhai that comes on motorbike every evening.
But nowadays, a lot of it are diluted with water. Difficult to find non-diluted ones.

Average ones are 165-170cm. But the two fellows who drink since small, the guy is ~190cm, the girl is 180+cm

No need to regret.. A lot of pretty asian girls out there are below this height

Ya my mom also boiled this soup for me to drink wor no wonder i m 178 and my sis is 152 coz she dun like to drink lol

hmm,, im more regret why im not born rich.

168 not really that bad i guess

168 is not bad la..

don't feel down TS

just try to wear properly fitting clothes, this will help a lot.

i tend to think that height is all genetic. my dad is 164cm n my mum 160cm. but luckily for me i managed to grow to 180cm. but my bro is only 170cm. my maternal side r pretty tall especially the men. but my paternal side r all shorter than average height. so i got more dominant genes fr my maternal side n my bro the opposite LOL

177cm here, and I have a friend who is 155++

almost 170cm already so no need to worry much, it's normal.

Male.

That's my height. and the answer is no. For my generation, that is significantly above average.

For today's 20 year old though, this would be below average.

Genetics + Nutrition + Exercise

What asians normally lack is nutrition esp chinese, seldom consume milk. Worst my parents dont like milk or eat much meat.

I was severely malnourished when young from eating home cooked food. However I gained significant weight and height when I started eating out and doing sports.

But still a bit too late, since growing up years are most vital.

i'm 186 and got troublesome with some men's toilet urinal sink ... some place build too low ... zzzz

168cm = money banyak = amoi mari

180cm = money banyak = amoi mari

i dun see any diff?

this is why

eating nasi in the morning , u think is healthy

look at the UK & US , they eat youghurt , cheese , cream , salad in the morning

we eat nasi lemak

nasi shit

IMO, i think 168 is ok. It is more than enough for everything you will need/meet in daily-life.

Some-more, being smaller usually mean a better/faster agility also.

Both parent not more than 160cm, but me and my brother is 180 and 177cm.

guess that...sometimes its genetic, and what you are born with...not happy one can go do surgery, rumors there is knee surgery that makes you taller.
