Hi, I am 20yrs old and just 5ft 3in tall. It is really very depressing for me sometimes. I sometimes lose all interest in life because of this. Its taking away confindence from me. Do you think I should let my height bother my right to live a happ life?

What's so wrong about standing only at 5'3"? Whoever says it's wrong is a total ásshole. Don't wish to be someone else or be taller than you actually are. Just be yourself. You're given the same rights as the taller and the shorter ones has. So live your life the way you want it.

obviously, I think you should move on with life. What's so bad about being 5'3? (I'm 5'1!)
If it is girls that you are worried about- don't. There are a million girls out there that are short like me that don't want someone freakishly tall. In fact, the guy that I'm head over heels for right now is about 5'3; and works perfectly.
The deal is, people are always going to say something. I'm sorry about that, but for whatever reason, people always like to tell short people how short they are. (As if they had abything to do with being how tall they are!)
So, in conclusion, you aren't that short; and it could be so much worse!

Of course your heighth bothers you. You have probably been made fun of through your teen years or at least middle school and now it's an adult issue. You know, I have known many men who were not tall, but have hearts of gold and have tall wives! It's something you have to overcome, because we are all as God made us. Get some counselling about this, it sounds like it's pretty serious with you. Heighth, weight, we all have our problems...we CAN overcome. Good Luck and God Bless

Your GENETICS have already pre-determined what your final height will be. Nothing you can do - or take - to MAKE you grow taller. You cannot re-program genetics. The best you can hope for - is to have patience - & wait to see what all develops. You will not finish puberty until at least age 21 - or later.

Dude don't let being short bother you in enjoying your life! Heck all that matters is you live happy and stop worrying about that lil' problem of yours( pardon the pun)! just think of this everytime you're depressed about your height: you're not the only one who's short in this world!!! good luck pal!!!

Either follow Earl's advice or stand on a box. Stilts work well too.

Not at all. I hear they are doing a remake of The wizard of OZ and they need a whole bunch of little people to play in the roles of the munchkins and the flying monkeys .
