peebles7 answered Friday August 24 2007, 10:52 pm: it's all about hormones. boys usually hit puberty later than girls and sprout up in a short amount of time, so it is weird that he is already that tall. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, that'd be pretty cool if he was really tall. I suppose it's possible that he could have some hormonal defect, but i'm sure a doctor would notice that, given his height. He'll be taller than all his friends for a few years, but so what?
A guy i know is 6'5" and he started growing around twelve, so your brother will probably be pretty tall, but you'll have to just wait and see! [ peebles7's advice column | Ask peebles7 A Question ]
