Answer 2

People who are small in the brain, or small in the ego, have a misguided need to ridicule others. They say more about themselves than they do about you.

Don't hate yourself because of their limitations. Find friends who can accept you the way you are, and that starts with you accepting the way that you are.

You are the perfect height for you.

Besides there are advantages to being smaller than average. I'm taller than average and I find that I am very uncomfortable in many situations - bus seats, airplane seats, bending over for low counters, my feet stick out the end of the bed and are always cold - just to name a few.

You may have disadvantages too but concentrate on your advantages.

Throughout history there have been many great people who were shorter than average - you may be the next.

Answer 3

First of all, why would you hate being small? I've been the same height since I was 10 because of growth hormone deficiency. I've been proud of my height ever since the day I found out I would be 4' 10" for my entire life.

The next time they say anything, tell them "Is there something WRONG with being small?" I would almost bet they'll shut up.

Answer 4

Amen, we as humans always seem to mock that which is not the norm. But if we look we are all different so actually there is no norm.
Sorry about the mocking, which i could say it will end. All you can do is make peace with your size...embrace it and then the comments won't hurt so much.

Answer 5

Well, they mocked me cause I was so tall, I guess that is why I love short folks, I think they are so cute. And, I work with kindergartners didn't realize that me being so tall scares them pretty bad, but that is the way it is, Because I don't understand why some people feel the need to threaten me, because I am quite tall, just trying to deal with their fear I guess. They mock you because you are so short it makes them uncomfortable, they don't know how to deal with that.

Answer 6

remember it is not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog. truthfully most guys would rather fight a big person than a small person. in a sense you have an advantage as being small many people will underestimate your abilities. this situation may be to your advantage as a military man should never underestimate his opponent

Answer 7

Insensitivity, basically. Some people just don't have manners, and think that it's fun to mock others just to make themselves feel better. They may think they feel better, but they just end up making themselves look stupid. Have you told your friends that you don't like it? Tell them, and your true friends will apologise. Just don't tell them as one big group, because there may be peer pressure. Talk to them individually.

Answer 8

People in general need to feel good about themselves,So making fun of someone else be it size color weight or any number of things makes them think less of the problems they have of their own. many people use this to divert opinions to anyone other than themselves.Try to understand why they are making fun of you and you might be surprized at what you see in them.

Answer 9

It is a test of your ability to rise above the meaningless taunts of your tormentors. If you fail, you will live miserably.
