Answer 1

Short People by Randy Newman

Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
`Round here

Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's A Wonderful World)

Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here

Additional: Get a sense of humour people. Randy Newman wasn't serious when he wrote that song. He was showing how ludicrous that whole thinking was with these lyrics. That was the idea behind it.

Answer 2

i have no idea...theyre just being superficial.
just ignore them or try to stay away from them if you can. you dont need people like that around you. there are plenty of people who shouldnt mind your height.

i always thought the girls wouldnt like the short guys instead of the other way since guys are naturally the tall ones. hmmm weird.

anyway i have no problem with short people..there was this guy i liked (not anymore but i still like him as a homie) he wasnt a midget but he was pretty short. 5'6 and he was 19 yrs old at the time. wowee! huh it surprised me when i found out. in his pictures he at first looked kinda tall. maybe it bothered me a little at first but i got over it quick. i thought that him being short made him cuter, didnt make him less of a guy because he was pretty strong but after a while i loved it. i thought that was good since i was still growing and almost as tall as him. id rather have that than a tall guy because then i wouldnt have to look up at him.


if youre worried that you wont find a guy who wont care about your height...im sure itll probly get better. you must be at that age where the guys are immature. whatever age you are...look around if you must, im positive that there is someone out there that wont care about it. you can find some good friends out there if you really look.

Answer 3

Hey shorties gotta stick together!
I think guys actually like dating people shorter than them
It makes them feel like big and strong
And it's much harder if your tall because some guys don't want to date someone taller then them.
I really don't think there is a problem with short ppl, most people actually don't care if your short or tall. Those ppl r just trying to get you mad or be mean, just tell them that if they keep saying things that your gunna punch them in the knee or something like that.

Answer 4

there is absolutley nothing wrong with short ppl its peoples percetions about short people like me for example i have a problem dating short guys because i am tall(1.81) and i just feel guys are too short for me and also because i wear high hills. short ppl are like anybody else. i believe its not about your hight but its whats within that counts the most.

Answer 5

I don't find anything wrong with short folks. My sis-n-law is about 5'0. I am 5'6. Her 10 year old daughter is taller than her!
She is the sweetest woman I know!
And my grandmother-n-law is 4'8. She is just as feisty as can be. But I love her a lot. So to me I don't find anything wrong with short girls. I never really teased them either.

Answer 6

love does not depend on hight or any size. What matters is the mutual attraction to each other!
So maybe you are hanging with the wrong crowd!

Answer 7

I wonder how old you are, because I was awfully small when I was a kid, and, for the most part, nobody said much of anything. Once in a while someone would make some harmless comment, but other than having some people think I was younger than I really was, it wasn't much of an issue.

I don't mean to "blame the victim", but I wonder if you're too aware of your height yourself and if you're unintentionally calling attention to it in some way. This is a dumb kind of example, but, say, if you're at a parade and at the back of the crowd, do you do things like jump or do things like push your way through and say, "Excuse me. I can't see."? In other words, do you do or say things because of being short that - even if you aren't specifically mentioning being short - remind people that its an issue?

Its hard for me to describe the types of things you could be doing, but maybe you know what I mean.

As a kid who was very short and as a girl, while I didn't like being so small I did decide not to feel or act small. I tried to wear clothes that didn't call attention to it and aimed for clothes that would get me taken seriously rather than looking "cute".

If you wear skirts if you wear longer ones it can play up "elegant" and "feminine" rather than wearing mini's and showing off how small you are from head to hips or how short your legs are. A longer skirt can make your whole body look longer. When you wear pants and tops if you aim for particularly pretty tops or layer things in a way that looks stylish and feminine it can make people see you in a way that is different than if you just wear a shirt and pants and sneakers.

If you try to think of yourself as small but feminine and elegant it can change your approach to clothes, but it can also change how you feel about yourself and how you project your self-image to others. I'm not saying wear prom gowns around. There are, though, clothes that have a hint of elegance even when they're casual and clothes that just don't.

Don't let your height define who you are. Many people develop a "short person's personality" the way some overweight people develop a "fat person's personality". If you think of yourself as just the same as everyone else and just forget about your height that will help shape how you behave, and if you do it right people won't even notice your height (or else they will but won't see it as "your thing").

Don't allow your height to make you feel inadequate in today's world where tall has become fashionable. There was a time when it was fashionable for girls/women to be small and delicate and dainty and feminine. See yourself as feminine rather than inadequate, and although I know you don't want to go around in ruffles you can still aim to be graceful and grown up with your choice of sweaters or pants or shoes. On the subject of shoes, wear shoes that give you another little bit of height.

When I'm talking about "feminine" and "elegant" and "graceful" I don't mean to the extreme or ridiculous point. I just mean you have a choice of clothes that are just clothes or clothes that have a hint of femininity with their cut or color.

One thing, though, is that your height is a real characteristic that people see (the way they see a person's hair color, eye color, etc.). It isn't something you should be sensitive about. Its how it is. If someone comments just see their comment as meaningless and move on. Someone else has to listen to comments about how tall she/he is, and someone else is sick of hearing about his/her red hair.

If you try to forget your height inside your head, and if you try to turn it from "inadequate" into "pretty and feminine" or "small and elegant", you may then project an image to others that makes them not even notice how short or tall you are.

If you act, dress, and think of yourself as Danny DeVito guys won't find you attractive; but if you're a nice and attractive person with no attitude problem guys will date you. In other words, you do define yourself and don't let your height define you in your own mind or in the mind of others. If you remember that the good thing about being petite is that you can be seen as feminine more easily than a very tall girl may be you can see that there's good and bad about being being either tall or short and be at peace with what you are.

If someone makes a single remark just let it go and don't react. Move the conversation on. If someone makes "an issue" out of your height tell them you think its kind of odd that they aren't over your height by now or that your height seems to take up so much of their brain space and abruptly switch the subject to something else.

The reason I brought up clothes and behavior etc. is because there is an art to being short but not being treated as if you're short and an art to seeing your smallness as something that isn't all that bad a thing.
