Yeah more or less the same. I never had a growth spurt or anything. I'm pretty sure I stopped growing before that age. I never cared to measure, really. I was a chronically sleep deprived, caffeine overloaded, stressed, depressed, terrified kid. Both my parents are taller than me. My dad was always ashamed that he made such a short child, to the point where he would make fun of me in public about it.
People who weren't close to my situation told me that I would regret not taking care of my body and therefore stunting my growth. But I wasn't really able to anyways. I was using up all of my energy just to survive. And when I finally survived to adulthood and escaped the traumatic circumstances, it began to haunt me how disgustingly short I was, and how that really wasn't "natural", as in I can't just say it's genetic because my parents were much taller. It was because I didn't grow up the way I should have. It's a reminder of the unspeakable, and it always will be one.
