Has anyone here had a growth spurt of 5 inches of more in height?

I remember I was the tallest kid in 5th grade and the summer before 6th I put on anothe 5 inches. Was probally 6'1 or 6'2 in 6th grade. The school accutally made me go to a doctor to see if I had any growths on any glands but everything turned out to be normal.

I always played a lot of basketball and I remember a lot of kids giving me a lot of grief about the height thing until my mind caught up with my body and I wasn't ackward with it.

Probally about 2 years later, I hadn't grown at all in the mean time, I added another 5 inches over summer. School had me check it out again. I was bout 6'5 or so in 9th grade and I stoped growing.

Growth spirts suck because its impossible to not be a bit ackward about it at first but it also has a lot of postives. You blow by a lot of other kids.

I'm kind of expecting a growth spurt. I'm 6'0" only, and am basically the shortest male in my family right now. My uncle though, he was like 5'4", and then grew about a foot his last year of highschool.

I honestly don't want to grow though. It'd be good for basketball, but I don't foresee myself playing anything competitively into college, or beyond, just maybe intramurals, so its really no big deal. 6'0" is the money height as far as I'm concerner for normal living.

I've grown about 2-4 inches every year of my life since I was 7. I might've grown around 5-6 inches from 6th grade to 7th or 7th to 8th, but it's been very consistent overall. Even between last year and this year, I've grown from 6'0" to 6'2".

I was a small child but when I was about 10 I started growing. At 13 I was 6'2, and averaged probably about 2.5 inches a year before that. Now I am fully grown at 6'8. But never 5 inches

I grew about 7 inches over a summer (In between 8th grade and 9th grade), went from about 5'2 to 5'9 and then just kept on growing at a relatively normal rate after that. I figure I'm about done growing by now... but yeah, I had a crazy growth spurt.
