Answer 2

Don't worry about something that you cannot control. Exercise is great but it wont make you grow. At least you are five feet tall. It could be alot worse.

Myself, I am 6'8". I understand that people can say stupid things that they don'y realize are annoying. People tell me all the time,"Wow you are tall". (As people may tell you that you are short.) I usually kind of laugh it off. In reality that really annoys me. As if I was not completely aware that I tower over most people. Thanks for stating the obvious.

In the end, its about being comfortable in your own skin. I used to be uncomfortable because I am not like everyone else. Now I try to embrace the things that make me different.

Look at the advantages. You can fit into compact cars. You don't have to worry about being taller than a guy.

Everyone ends up with physical parts of themselves they don't like. About the only thing I can think of for height for a girl is lots of protein and not sugar / high carb junk food. Keep in mind that you haven't finished your growth spurt.

If you are just 5 feet now, it's hard to predict whether you'll always be short or what. So you've got to build on your strengths. Sounds like being outgoing and smart are yours.

However, just like cosmetic surgery is personal, so is your fear about height. Start doing research on who's doing research on shortness. A good place to start is the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland. They have great internet research facilities. If anyone is researching shortness, it will be filed there.

For 7 solid years, my face was covered with so many zits that people would wince. 40 years later, I have beautiful skin that people are always complementing. The zits affected me because no one would date me -- let's face it, I was hideous. At least I had teachers smart enough to tell me to get good grades. I was prepared to help my own daughters through a tough teenage time, but as luck would have it, they had zero zits and their own fears.

Answer 4

Being 5'9", I've always had the opposite problem. Look at the bright side. Most guys like to date girls shorter than them, so you have a much bigger selection. And trust me, popularity isn't all it's cracked up to be. Be true to yourself and your friends. That's what is most important. Plus, it's not as if you're freakishly small or anything.

My Maid of Honor at my wedding was 4'10" in heels. She is happily married now, so her height wasn't an issue. It'll only be a minus point if you make it one.

You are beautiful in God's eyes and he thinks 5 feet is the perfect height for what he has planned for you.

Answer 5

I really dont think it maters how tall you are. If you were a great person i would still go out with you. Not all popular people are tall either. i just graduated from middle school and we did it by height, I was one of the shorter people in my class but peole still like me. Also maybe you just havent started growing yet and you could end up becoming one of the taller people in your class.

Answer 6

height is overrated. You'll notice soon that personality is trully 90% of a person's charisma. The U.S. can be a shallow society, but you can overcome it by being yourself. I am 22 years old and I am 5'1'', and I probably have stopped growing. What is important is to be comfortable in your own body, since you can't change it yourself. Even if a person is four feet or seven, their body is their tool, their temple

Answer 7

iam a lot older than you and i am only 5 ft 1 being short has its advantages dont worry about not being tall love yourself for who you are i have friends who are not as tall as me!! besides you don't stop growing untill after 18 so you can still gain a few inches. cheer up.

Answer 8

Monica.... We all want what we can't have. My hair is poker staight and my co-workers hair is naturally curly. I covet her hair and she wishes hers was like mine. I was always referred to as "the tall girl over there" (5'9"). I always wanted a boyfriend taller than me. See, we are what we are and nothing can change that. It is unlikely that you are completely done growing yet. The one thing you can change is your attitude about being 5' tall. Hold your head up be proud of the PERSON you are.
