The weirdest part was watching friends catch up. At 12 I was a full foot taller than a lot of my friends but by 18 most were 5'10+, one or two in my school year even overtook me eventually and hit 6'3 - 6'4.

"Slowest" grower I've seen was a guy who was shortest in the class all through school, well under 5' when we were 12, still only maybe 5'7 when we left school at 18. I ran into him on a train when I was about 25 and he was easily 6' tall . Who knows, maybe he never stopped and he's an 8' giant now.
