okay, i know this is pretty weird, but i read on this health site that if you take your height from when you were 2, and double it.. it`s your adult height. does anyone know if this is a true fact and if anyone has their height from when they were two and you are fully grown .. can you let me know =] thankss!!
Additional info, added Wednesday August 17 2005, 2:45 pm: um, for all of you that say ur only like 2 ft tall when ur two, maybe for you, but everyone that i know was wayy above 2 ft.. i personally was almost 3ft .. but okayyy lol. Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category? Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos? orphans answered Monday August 15 2005, 3:07 pm: no..that isnt true.think about it...say your are 2 feet and your 2 years old..and then your umm.. maybe 34¿we'll say? your not only going to be 4 feet tall.
Dakmor answered Sunday August 14 2005, 12:11 pm: Er, no. When you were 2, you were probably about two feet, or something like that. Unless you have dwarfism, that's not going to happen anytime after you're 7. [ Dakmor's advice column | Ask Dakmor A Question ]
K2204 answered Sunday August 14 2005, 10:26 am: im sure that that is not true. I am sure that it just has to do with giving you a big range otherwise known as a "ball park" of where your height could be,
some people may get a growth spurt @ age 2 some @ age 3 and then eventhough the doubled height says that the person with the growth spurt @ 2 should be taller, the person with a growth spurt @ 3 was.
sorry, I dont know if I spelt that right, and sorry its confusing!
xomegaroni answered Sunday August 14 2005, 8:54 am: i think that's untrue, because you can't really predict. like guys grow slower than girls, so they're heights would be diff, and stuff w/ growth spurts..so yeah that isn't true.
LoveNJstyle answered Sunday August 14 2005, 8:29 am: no its not because for boys it was at 3 years old and it can vary...i did that and it said i was gonna be 5 foot and im 5'3 and not fully grown. so then i guess that no, its not true. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
HectorJr answered Sunday August 14 2005, 1:31 am: Hmm I've never heard that before. But of course there are many factors that can contribute to that. Playing a lot of sports, especially basketball might actually help you become taller. Also, for guys, weight lifting at an early age could stunt growth. I've heard that generally you will be around your mother's height. Hope that helps. [ HectorJr's advice column | Ask HectorJr A Question ]

icey0990 answered Sunday August 14 2005, 1:14 am: yeah this is definately false. i mean first off ive seen plenty of two year old boys who at the time were like 2 ft something and now they are 6`3 + [ icey0990's advice column | Ask icey0990 A Question ]
MFS answered Sunday August 14 2005, 1:10 am: I would say that it is crap. Your height from age 2? I know someone who was just over 2 feet tall at the age of two. Now that person is well over 6 foot. There are a lot of factors that will determine one's adult height - from genetic to nutritional to environmental effects. To declare that your height from age 2 is half your adult height is weak and based on poor assumptions. Doctors can, however, look at the spaces between growth plates on your bones when young and approximate what your final adult height will likely be. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
