Good to know that teens look pretty much the same all over Japan. I have been noticing junior high students shooting up and a lot of them are now as tall as me.
I don’t know how tall you are, but I haven’t seen anyone as tall as me yet (I’m 1m87). But it’s true that just like in Europe (and I assume other places in the world. Australia?) Every generation seems taller than the previous one.
Hi David, Wow! You are pretty tall. I am around 183cm which is average for Australia but tall for Japan. Every generation seems to be taller than the previous, but I have noticed the difference a lot more in Japan over the last 15 years. Must be all that milk that drink with the school lunch
My guess would be that nowadays (in every developed countries) kids have less and less crippling diseases and such that used to prevent a healthy growth.
