Well there can me many ways to solve this problem. As a child I had similar problems as you do. Do these kids that are making fun of you ever hurt you or touch you in any way? Well if they do that is means for going straight to an adult or speaking to your parents about it. Your parents will always understand and help you. Don't be afraid to talk to the school principal or dean. They can always solve a bad situation. You could also talk to the school councelor, they are there to help with anything you want, even if it is just to talk. Another thing is, not to be afraid of these kids. I am not promoting violence but if they ever touch you, that gives you the rights to defend yourself. I swift kick or punch to give you time to run away could be helpful. Believe in yourself and dont forget, BE STRONG =) good luck

can you play basketball? if you are tall you should play basketball, its great to be tall and play basketball (own experience haha)
to make them stop teasing you, you really cant sorry. but you can ignore them. maybe they will get so annoyed they arent getting a reaction out of you they will stop. in a few years they will see how stupid they had been calling you a freak for being tall because everyone wants to be tall at some point.
i was always the tallest out of my friends, but stand proud! its a blessing to be tall!
as for being short, there is nothing wrong with that. those kids are just immature and obviously not comfortable with themselves otherwise they wouldnt be making fun of others

I got picked on for being tall and thin in high school too. Being tall is the best. Don't make a big deal about it and they will get bored. Think up a short response thats funny and be the short kids friend.

You can do two things to make it stop, well, three.
1. Ignore it. Most kids your age are sheep and will do anything the rest of the kids are doing. If you ignore it, you go against the heard and thus, everyone will go along with you. And sometimes kids make fun of others because they find fun in it. By ignoring it, you deny them the satisfaction they'd normally get.
2. You can switch to defense-mode and point out the flaws in those making fun of you. Say, one kid has a buck tooth, or another kid has really red hair.
3. You can accept it. When i was a kid, people made fun of my curly hair - i accepted it and made jokes about myself with others. When a bully sees a kid making fun of himself, he is no longer a target.

theres really not much u can do, kids will be kids, and i know that sucks, but its true.
my brother is 6'4 and he just tunred 16... no one picks on him, i dont understand why they're pickin on you.
i can tell you, you have a growth plate in your body, and until that is totally closed, u can continue to grow, maybe your friend has not yet hit puberty? and in that case, when he does, im sure he will grow some. boys continue to grow 'til around age 21, (thats the norm!)
let your friend know tho, being short isnt that bad, my boyfriend is 5'5 and he's 27...lol.
but anyways.... i know ignoring them doesnt always work, and what they say can be hurtful... btu remember, your obviously the better person in this situation, your friends with this boy, who is short, and your not doing the picking on. continue to be the bigger, better person. there is such advantages to being tall, do u play basketball? if not try it out! you'll be able to reach things, other can't, and your unique! i wish i was taller.
so dont worry dude, once these kids grow up a lil bit, they'll forget they even called you these stupid names, and hopefully will come to respect you.

simple. find other friends. Got news for you, you aren't going to have many troubles in life as a tall man, but being like 5 feet tall at 14 means this poor kid is going to be extremely short going into and starting high school, and guess what.
No high school girls go for short guys!!!! You on the other hand will have girls all over you. Stick up for your buddy.

I was a very tall girl (ended up at 6' 5") and had the same problem. You will have this ongoing, so you need to just come up with some snappy lines as a comeback (but don't stoop to their level and be mean). I think they are actually jealous of your height--bullying kids are the worst! They won't change so you must.

well, you all are teenagers and unfortunately teasing and name calling won't stop until you are a senior, or even out of high school. You can try telling these people that you don't like being called names and neither does your friend. It's not really right to stoop to their level and tease them about something that they can't help, so you can always ignore them and tell them if they don't stop you don't wanna be friends anymore.

Just remember in 5 years this won't matter, and just make sure your better than them in everything else! Just be funny and don't take sides and don't make enimies! These kids who make fun of people become the losers later in life! I promise, and your getting this advice from a NFL cheerleader who got made fun of in school! Get involved in a sport, and don't sweat the small stuff!

just go with it. i am an assistant teacher in an elementary school and my favorite little quip to try to explain how to deal with these situations to kids is from eleanor roosevelt: "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
I know confidence isn't just something you can adopt because you decide you want to, but work on it. your height makes you different, right now, but those kids are going to grow. And if you are destined to be the tall gangly kid, don't worry about it, those are often the most endearing.
