tell me about it lill I have to jump up to slap him lmao he towers above me now god I hope he stops soon we can only get trousers to fit him in lengh in one shop in the whole area lol .

Worse thing is because he is so tall he stands out in a crowd and you get idiots trying to pick fights with him because of his size.

He might be tall but he can use it to his advantage, there is nothing wrong with being tall atall. Think of all the "shortys" who wanna be a basketball player but cant cause they are too short. Guys can carry on growing till they are 25. Sure your son is tall but the tallest guy ever was like 7"4.
