What was everyone's biggest growth spurt? When did it happen, and how did you change as a result?
My biggest growth spurt was in the 8th grade. Before it, I was a small 4'10". Then I grew 8 inches in about 6 months or so. While 5'6" isn't tall, and I wouldn't reach my full height of 6'6" for another few years, I felt gigantic at the end of the spurt. It was close to a 14% increase in height in a short period of time. I also felt a lot heavier, but it a good way, since my increase in weight was not getting fatter but more height, wider shoulders, stronger legs and arms, etc. Before I was short compared to my friends, but afterwards I was more normal sized.
