Dont worry, I have a “uniquely” short friend at school. And I love her for it. She is always positive and see’s the brightest in things. You may be short, but to me, they have the tallest influences.

I’m 24 and 4’7″ and have been this height since I was about 10, 11. Yes, I get jokes about my height and I’ve been used as an arm rest on more than one occasion but my height is my height and there’s nothing I can do about it at this point so why stress?

I also happen to be a kindergarten teacher and it can be quite embarrassing to be mistaken as a student in the older grades (like 5th, 6th graders) but I’ve learned to dress more “business formal” and that helps elevate, haha, my status in the school so that at least the students don’t mistake me for a classmate!

You don’t like, you don’t read.
It’s that simple.

I’m 19 years old and 5’1 ..Being short is awesome! Although putting up with height related jokes are annoying ..:)

I can see it for what it is… taking a frustrating part of life and reminding us to lighten up about it.
5′ (150cm) tall, it’s never stopped me from achieving anything (fortunately I never wanted to be a basketball player) and as my mum said, I had the pick of the boys because they’re all taller than me!!
Two more AWESOME things –
1. Finding shoes that fit! AWESOME!!
2. Moving to a new place where people ate a traditional diet (ie free from artificial hormones fed to chickens) – so the average height is shorter – so I don’t feel so short!! Absolutely AWESOME!!!

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! Empathy for diversity here.
Life is not so black and white.
A friend recently walked me throught the coolest visual of a moonlit night, snow in the meadow, her old dog, a stallion, star-lit sky, the mountains, barns and farm fences in the scene…it was magical…it was an awakening to realize this, there are even shades of grey in grey.

Well..its better to be a short angel rather than being a big size stacked shit…ur inner virtues matter alot..I am 5’6 and im proud of wat i am..infact if God asks me to be anyone in this world i would chose none but myself..just maintain ur physique and the tall guys would wish they were you…be charming …if you dont like urself in the first instance then dont complain others for not liking you..be urself and love urself….i believe wherever one stands its because he/she best fits there…people like you for wat you are ..who knows if you were someone you wish to be then people might start disliking you..you are perfect if you start believing it once and for all :-)

I feel like your trying to sympathize with people, and the “awesome” thing is that many shorter people can be confident and not take sh*t from people. You don’t deserve the crap people are giving you here.
