how do i get to 5'8-9?

Question

Currently, I am 18 years old and 5'4 male. I checked with my doctor and he says I am about to end my growth (xray. had deep voice since 13 and shaved since 16). I cannot accept this height. I do not know of a day where i have not been harassed and personally i am getting fed up with it. At first it was ok for the jokes but now it's ticking me off too far. I even tell people to stop and ignoring wont work. I don't care if people say that I should live with it because I won't. I will use leg lengthening surgery if I need to. I do suffer short man syndrome because people constantly harass me. I don't try to cover anything up tho. Don't say anything about the small celebrities because they are only the few. I even get made fun of by my own god damn family...

Answer 1

#1. Do not call your family g-d. OK? OK.
#2. Have you told your friends and family specifically that it hurts you to hear that? Maybe they don't know, and just think you're joking back. I've had that happen, and when I told them how I felt about the teasing, they stopped.
#3. If your friends won't pay attention to what you are telling them and can't realize it's hurting you, maybe you need to find a couple new friends. If you don't know where to go, try a Church of Christ. NOW DON'T STOP READING THIS just because I said Church of Christ. I am putting an effort into this answer and care about you reading it so PAY ATTENTION.

#4. Dude, life is not about height. So don't let it ruin your life. And dont put yourself through the stress and pain of surgery. Think how midgets feel. Imagine that. That's like, a million times worse, probly. Life is about living. For the One who can give you another life that goes on forever. Know what I mean? GOD. Think about that. And at least tell your friends how it hurts you. If they don't care, look around for people who obviously have some good standards, and make friends. Or check out the Church of Christ. Good Luck!

Answer 2

I would only suggest leg-lengthening surgery as a last measure, since it's pretty drastic, as well as expensive. Also, as with all surgeries, it's dangerous. I can see why you're pissed, so all I can say is to try and wear heeled shoes. It's not uncommon to see guys wearing two-inch chunky heeled boots, and they certainly make you appear taller. Hats also may give you an extra inch or two.
Working out and building muscles may not give you any extra height, but I seriously doubt you'll get teased as often - women may not usually be attracted to shorter men, but if that man has a great body, most women would find him attractive enough to ignore the height difference. Also, many people would probably be too intimidated to tease you if you have muscles, and it would make other men realize that you're just as masculine as any tall guy, and building muscles and becoming stronger than them would smash the ego boost that they get by teasing someone shorter than them.

Answer 3

You may still grow significantly. Don't give up. I understand your frustration but any medical intervention is serious. I had a high school friend who was your height when we finished school. A few years later, I had moved far away and heard a knock at my door. I opened it to find my friend who had grown at least 6" after he turned 20 years old, which is apparently not unusual. I wish you all the best.

Answer 4

Damn.. That sucks man. Theres nothing you can really do until your about 20.. Then, you can do human growth hormones.
