I’m so lucky I inherited my mum’s family’s genes. The women in my dad’s family are all 5’3″ or less, whereas the women in my mum’s family are 5’7″ or over! There is nothing wrong with being short (every girl and guy should be proud of their height and shape!), but I’m so happy that I’m tall! I’m 5’8″ and I’m not even done growing yet!

“I always have to ask for help when trying to get something on a high shelf, and for some reason, people always find that really amusing.
You make me laugh – this happens to me every bloody day!

At least clothes stores have decided petite people exist in this day and age!

Hi, my name is Jennifer, I am 16 years old and 4’11″. There are no women in my immediate family that are tall at all. My mom is 5 feet tall, my grandma is 5’1″, my auntie is 5’1″. My great grandmas are both 5 feet tall. I always knew I would have no hope of growing over 5 feet, but I’m not done growing yet so hopefully I will get to that. I had ancestors that were shorter than me when they were done growing. Until not too long ago, I hated being short, absolutely hated it, but then I realized there were so many advantages. You are less likely to break bones, will on average live longer than tall people, are less likely to have heart problems, and you are never taller than any guys. For a while I thought that guys didn’t really like short girls, until I met this one guy on a trip with my older sister to Florida and before I left he said that the next time I see him I better not be any taller. It hit me then that being short is a good thing and I need to learn to accept it.

I’m 20 years old and 5’0″. All the women in my family are on the shorter scale but even I’m tinier then most of them. At first I hated it, everybody always told me when I was younger that I’d have a big growth spurt and I was always waiting around for this magic to happen.
Aaand it never did. But it wasn’t until I was about 17 that I just accepted it and found myself trying to find the positives. I started importing clothes from Hong Kong and China, which actually saved me money in the long run, I can get any size heels I want, if I’m not wearing makeup and trying to save money I can get a child fare on public transport, it’s funny to see people’s faces when they find out my real age, in a few years I’ll still look young.

Life is too short (lol) to worry about something you can’t change. So look to the bright side instead!

Im 15 and I am 4’11…and I have been that way for the past few years. I guess you just have to accept the fact and get on with it, but its so frustrating while buying clothes

im 19 and almost 4’10. I wish I could reach atleast 5’3. I love wearing heals but people get the chance to say im trying to cover my height with high heels. Im a media personality and i have to go very far in the field of showbiz so i wish i had some extra inches but i know that won’t matter much coz i know i have a pretty face and a good personality but it just feels very bad when someone tries to put me down by my height issue!

I stopped growing when I was 13 and I’m only about 5’2. Sure, sometimes – when I’m at a concert or sth – I wish I were at least 5’4, but other thn that I never had a problem with it. On the contrary, I always was the most agile on every sports team I ever joined, and I never had any troubles sleeping all curled up in an airplane seat. The only thing that REALLY keeps annoying me is people making stupid comments about it and calling me a dwarf. oh and of course when my mom, who is a bit taller than me keeps asking me if I have a problem with being short. NO I DON’T. its not a desease so it doesn’t affect me in a bad way. she doesn’t believe me and whenever I do sth out of the ordinary she thinks I am to develope a complex or sth. annoying, like I said
