I'm 5'9 at 13, turning 14. My dad is about 5'7, and my mother is a 4'10½.
I know you can get tall from other genes in the bloodline, but my brother who is turning 13 is only 5'2. it isn't any different from my grandparents, my grandmother from my mom and dad's side are both around 4'11-5'1.

you hope that someones genes provided good sensitivity in the growth plates to growth pathways that matter
or you blast research chems and hope for the best
but most importantly, you mark as solution
