For some additional context, I wear a size 14W shoe, have tall parents, play basketball casually, train in boxing for conditioning, and I’m American. Right now, I’m on a diet and workout somewhat to stay in shape. I’m planning on majoring in business in college when I’m older to work in the basketball industry
I’m 15 and 6’6, AMA

What are the downsides to being your height?
Are your parents similar height to you?
my kid was 6’9 by the time he was 14. basketball was a no brainer but because he grew too fast his joints clapped out by the time he was 17, the whole running and jumping thing became an issue, has to do some pretty serious weight training these days to keep muscle mass around to support himself. do you have doctors giving you a heads up on the possible health shenanigans that could be on the horizon if you keep trying to defeat the vertical challenge and gain a few more inches?
Do you have siblings?
We’re you a chubby kid before you hit growth spurts?
What do you say to someone who also wants to get tall
