Height, status-obsessed parents rush to inject kids with growth hormones

One pediatrician dubbed the trend “cosmetic endocrinology.”

Giving children growth hormone that may increase heart disease so that they aren’t short. Wow.

That parents will do this, though, shows how the vertically challenged are discriminated against.

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick ‘em up
Just to say hello

And here I thought you were talking about the teams that have to play Purdue in March Madness.

My #3 daughter is 5' .000000001" tal and of course her name is Karen. .. And lives up to the name everyday.

They got little bittie cars that go beep beep beep.

I'm 6'3, the wife 5'4.

My kids thankfully are not taking after their mother in this aspect of our gene pool.

Nahhhh Marks ok. 3 kids, 3 different dads. With her being a Karen, I wouldn't call her a spinner, more like a tilt-a-wirl. I can own my truths, he cool.

Recognizing discrimination exists is a step along the path to being called woke. Just a warning.

Randy Newman. A classic.

Because I'm not bothered with easy tasks like getting things down from top of shelves or back of shelves.

From the article:

She added, “Right now, it’s looking like he’ll be 5’4 when he’s done growing, but if I can help my child not be 5’4, I’m going to.”​

I'm 5'4". It's not been any fun, but I resigned myself to it a long time ago.

Depending on the actual risk involved (everything has a risk), I'd have much preferred to not be short and called Stumpy and not been able to have even a modicum of success in sports and all the other things that went along with it. I wear glasses too, and put up with Four Eyes and such. I doubt getting HGH or contacts would have made a huge difference in my later life, but it would have made my youth a lot less shitty.

I'll always have value.

So would you pay this for your kid?

Short people live longer. It's science.

OMG, it’s a good thing you didn’t join the Navy! 😜

And take up fewer resources. Want to save the planet? Kill all the tall people.

Now that I think about it, I may not be needed as I get older.

I'm ****ed.

 

[Baller23Boogie]

It's true.

They don't hit their head on things that hang from ceilings or have to duck under low staircases.

 

[UncleMark]

So would you pay this for your kid?

Perhaps. Would like to know more about the "risk" beyond "may".

Kids get Lasik and braces, too.

True. It's not the bit about it being cosmetic or tied to vanity that I worry about. Like with the trans kids, it's injecting hormones into a healthy child. Seems dangerous.

We'll let you live, Lars. Need someone on the mountain to scare off the bears.

If you bastards would lay off the Woke ideas around not picking on short kids with glasses then it might not be worth considering. But noooooooo........

Shit you’re a spinner. Describe yourself any more and you might find yourself on Lars’S men he likes most list

Lasik. At least you can see the clock at night.

Unless you're far sighted . . . .

Unfounded, but still.
