130. Not testosterone, not at 12

At this age, elevated levels of testosterone would actually stunt his vertical growth. At over 6 six feet and 12 years old, it is unlikely that he has a high level of testosterone. Testosterone is mostly related to muscle mass and bone density, which are not related to height though partially related to weight, as well as development of sexual organs. A good indicator for high testosterone in a child is early facial/pubic hair. This child's height may be be related to high levels of growth hormone, which is not testosterone and is in fact inhibited by it. This is an important fact to know for highschoolers who may be tempted to use testosterone to get an edge in the weight room over the other kids. It will make you short, among other things.

The point is, the other poster was likely correct and your assessment was way off, as far as biology goes. You know, the point where you were corrected could have been the point where you went to go look this up, instead of coyly making another uneducated post.

ps - As for your other post. You can tell he has a high percent of body fat from his picture. Hope this helps.
