I was like that kid, shortest in my class and some kids would pick on me, one year I went from ~ 5'1" and came back after summer and was 5'9". Needless to say, payback was a b**** for a couple of those guys! From there, I grew up I grew a whole lot, a whole inch. I was bummed because I wanted to be a basketball player and just never had the height nor the extreme athleticism to make up for the lack of height. Turns out I could roll a good doobie with a single hand, in the wind. LOL.
