1. Yes and they're also hitting puberty earlier.

3. My oldest,23, was 6'1" at 18. My 19 yr old is 6'3". My 14 yr old is as..

tall as I am(5'10"), and will probably be taller than his brothers.
Their shoe sizes are 12, 13,1/2 and 11,1/2 respectively.
Yes they are growing bigger. Probably from all the hormones in the food supply.

4. My 14 year old is 5'5"

has not hit his growth spurt yet. Is eating everything in sight and wears a size 11 shoe. (He is like a puppy, has to grow into his feet)

5. Food hormones, or so I've been told. We put all this crap in the chicken

, etc., and that's what happens.

Seems to make sense to me...but, I can't believe big business would hurt us!

6. Not mine. They're bummed.

7. Even the girls in my family are that big

I have a niece that's 6'4" and only 15. OK technically she's not my niece which explains why I'm only 5'7" but on my mom's side of the family all the guys are at least 6' and can grown beards by the time they're 13.

8. Our part time secretary at work is 6'3" ,she just turned 20.

She sez all her brothers and sister are all over 6 feet.
