Yeah well, growing up I was a year younger than anyone in my classes at school. Couple that with the fact that I was small for my age anyway. (I am still fairly thin.) I tended to try to cover up anything that made me any more "different" than I had to be. In fact, I was at one point tested for HGH supplementation. Turns out my Doc was right, I didn't need it, I just didn't start growing taller until I was about 17. By age 18, I was taller than most of my friends, so it all worked out OK in the end.

And to think, they were even discussing moving me ahead another year in fourth grade. -=shudder=-
