Too tall? Take some drugs

This is the first time I have heard about taking synthetic hormones to prevent girls from growing too tall. Of course, as it turns out, there are short term effects such as weight gain and menstrual problems. Its only recently, that a long term effect is starting to be recognized.
Growing pains over hormones will give you more details about the long term effects.

I guess it could be a pain and really awkward esp when you're a teen to be towering everyone else. Would reducing their growth hormone have helped?

Is it genetics? If so, then if you're a really tall person, then even though it makes sense for you to be with another tall person, maybe it is better to be with a shorter person, for your children's sake. Haha... on the other hand, this will look a little funny and there is no proof this works. Just a thought.
