I did a project that studies youths height compared to their parents height to see if the studies that I have been hearing are really true about children getting taller than their parents throughout the generations.  I found out that it is true that youth today are growing taller than their parents.  Females growing stage is slower than males, when males grow they usually have drastic height change in a short amount of time.  I surveyed youth from ages 12-18 years and tallied graphs and charts to show my results.
