Growing UP: You are of average height? How does an 18 year old stunt their growth when their growth is more than 50% of other humans? And, how is a teenager diagnosed with low testosterone and how did you cause this if it is true? It sure sounds like you have depression and that can be dealt with in therapy and/or with medications. But, really now. You are not in any way abnormal.
