First thing people say it’s genes. I’m 5’6, but my mother is 5’11, my dad is 5’9. My sister is 6’0. All of my moms’ brothers are 6’3, all of my male cousins on my mom’s side are 6’1, and all of my female cousins on my mom’s side are around 5’11.
My dad was oddly the shortest of his brothers at 5’9, while the rest of them are 5’11. My male cousins on his size are around 5’11, and my female cousins on my dad’s side are around 5’8.
I’ve wondered so much as to wonder if I’m even my dad’s, but we do looks alike, and have the same birthmarks, so that can’t be either.
I always ate very good nutritious food; I’ve been on a swim team from age 12 until today at 25. It can’t be because I didn’t eat well, and it can’t be because I wasn’t active enough. It’s not because of genes.
Why am I short?
