Guess I should done this first before posting elsewhere. LOL
I'm a 15 year old guy who had a growth spurt over the last year that took me from 5'8" to 6'3". I outgrew a lot of people.

I was outgrown by so many 6' plus 14 year olds they didn't get near 6'5" though. I think that year may have added to your maturity so you didn't have to overpower older/shorter HS kids all the time. Although it would be interesting to see some try to abuse a big incoming freshman like you. Any POV on this? |

I wasn't in the position of being this tall and insecure about starting hs so I did not have the opportunity to overpower shorter kids. Now, it seems pointless.

I am sure your smaller, shorter classmates are thankful that you are so chill. You would make a frightening bully at your size! It's great to chat with you here!
Humbly yours,
Stu

You remind me of a tall HS Sophomore neighbor who is not comfortable with his height.... he outsized me @5"11" as a HS freshman. You also confirmed my thoughts about the extra year and maturity. Your size alone would deter most from being aggressive, even with your insecurities. Imagine being insecure & at least a foot shorter than you are...., its not a pretty picture, back in an era where bullying was not in the spotlight.

I was talking about insecurity from starting his, not from height.

realize that, just trying to show you how much better it is to be tall, rather than short. I hope your insecurities have eased. You do seem to be mature. Hope you use your height to defend a bullied kid and make more friends, and better girlfriends, not that you are having problems in that area at your height. The better adjusted you are the less insecure you will be. A bully is someone who is so insecure that he would need to overpower a smaller dude, it would not be "pointless" as you put it to him, as his insecurities create the need for him to feel this power. Many tall kids have no problems attracting women, and I have seen some get chased as I was in middle school. but I have written with many who have a desire to attract older woman, and the way to do that is to act more mature, and being a positive force as I suggested above. More advice upon request.
