Other - Family & Relationships - 24 December 2007

Im nearing the age where i will no longer grow anymore 21 in 5 months... And i begin to notice my own family is beginning to discriminate against my height. I stand at 5'6 inches tall and skinny build but toned. My own mother treats me like a preteen, i asked her why she treats me with little respect and not on a adult adult level and she said boldly, "because your short". I was shocked. My cousins who are younger than me make fun of me, like "im only 16 and im taller than you *6'1'' kid" At a sit down last nite my family said, "he probably doesnt have a girlfriend because hes so short." And saying stuff like "I dont get it why hes so short and his parents is so tall." 3 of my cousins began to hit home saying "Hes always so depressed because hes short, if he was tall he wouldnt be." Im now in college again after a break and i notice its getting worse. Women bring it up, guy friends bring it up. Even my prof discriminate against my height. Does it get worse as you age and wont grow any.
