I Am Short Stories of Experiences

I have been a little iffy about my height. Never thought I was really short growing up, I felt average height. Then one school year everyone decided to grow and never gave me the memo. Took me a while to accept my fate but I think I...

Ever since ive been to this school, i feel like im so small and people kick me around. I know i have flaws but dont show them to me that way.

Not only am I short, but I have recently learned what it's like to go through airport security and be asked where your parents are.. at age 22. Yup.

When moving...

I've always been short and frankly it really has never bothered me that much, but I'll like to let people know being short, or extremely short like myself, should not be a downer. It is okay & ladies most guys as I have heard enjoy...

I accidentally stunted my growth, so I'm stuck at this height. I like being "cute", though.
