    i know that feeling, but i don't get bothered with it anymore. there was once an elementary boy who thought i was about his age, i meant what the hell??i'm 17, he's just 10 or maybe 11, it's just crazy..

      Yes! I know exactly what you mean. I hate it when I see younger children and they assume i'm their age. I also hate when people go up to me and are like " what grade you in ( and talk down to me, like I am younger ) ...etc." and get surprised that I will be in college next year...

    There are quite a few people, at least around where I live, that don't care at all about height. I saw a couple where the guy was 6+ feet and the girl can't have been more than 3 feet tall, and was actually half the height of the guy. That kind of thing can definitely happen.

    You might be tiny but you sound like you have a giant personality that far surpasses people that are your age. Age is such a silly label on society dont sorround yourself by lame people that are judging your on that it gets better when we get older you can go to a bigger place where there are more in person communities to be around those that will love you for you. I am happy i found our about you :) And untill you can be in the communities you need to be in for whatever you are stay on here I would love to talk!

      Anything for another awesome soul.. I live in a town with about 3,000 people. There are only 300 in my highschool and there aren't many places I fall right into either.. more or less I fall into the musician hippy place but there is so much I lack where I am. Sorry you're problem is more see-able but there are things with us all. Know that after highschool there are communities without Judgement. I look at peoples souls not there height and as far as Im concered short girls are cute anyways :)

    how short are we talking about, I've seen some short people but to be honest judging someone for their appearance is really superficial, I'm quite tall and never actually got to talk to someone about their problems because I'm just really awkward, never really had a big social life, but If I had I would not not approach someone for their high, people are weird, I used to be a bit put aside because I sounded like I was 20+ when I was 12... I don't know how to read measurements in feet but I'm 180cm and I'm usually around people around 150cm to 160cm and It's actually pretty comfortable to be relied on for some tasks. So I like short people, they make me grin for some reason, not in a, haha I'm taller kind of way but in a, that's cute your little :D, in a weird way It makes me want to carry them around... but that's past weird to amazingly awkward(why do I keep writing stupid **** I wonder) :3. Don't be upset by height I'm starting to get back problems because of how tall I am... Be as positive about your features as you can, embrace your shortness :3. I see how it could influence your social life however, the people that are bluntly saying the first thing that comes to their mind, shock for example, are most likely not worth giving attention, this however is the opinion of someone that spends his school days going to class and spending my free time listening to music and playing with a couple of friends from different countries. as in no real social life nor going clubbing or whatever the teens like me do these days...

    I totally understand and get what you're going through. I get that too. I'm nicknamed by my older sister and her friends "tiny". It is quite annoying. I'm 17 as well, and I feel that I'm in a very similar situation as you are.

    All guys are different, and I'm sure someone is attracted to you right now and you just don't know it. Someone is always attracted to someone. It would very much surprise me if no one was attracted/likes you.

    Having experience really doesn't matter once you've met a wonderful person who loves you for you. You shouldn't feel crappy about not having any, it'll pass.

    I'm currently lacking in the friend area too. So I completely know how that feels. I find myself hanging by myself a lot and I'm home-schooled so that certainly doesn't help. It really does suck though not to have someone to call and just hangout and talk to. I hate how this culture can make you feel so alienated and out of place.

    I too get the shy thing. It's not that I'm shy, it's just that I don't find any need or anything important to say. People talk about such trivial things I feel. Anyways I feel I'm just rambling but I just wanted to let you know (even though I don't know you) that I get it and am in it ha. I'm sure things will get better eventually. Think positive about yourself and your current situation, it does help. ^_^
