I saw a few topics about this earlier and it interested me, so .... I'm going to be 19 years old in August and I am currently 4'9''. My doctor says I'm done growing and probably won't reach 5ft anytime in my life. However, my doctor nor my mother have ever mentioned anything medical behind this, i.e any type of dwarfism (I am proportionate, so midget doesn't work either). I do have a great aunt who is 4'7'', and an uncle who is 5'1''ft. So that side of the family does run short, it looks like. So, what am I? Just... short? Is it incorrect to call myself a midget because I am just.. short? I don't have any diseases or disorders or anything like that, I just.. didn't grow. My 15 year old sister topples over me at 5ft, even when she was 13-14 at 4'11'' she stood well above me. Both my parents are of normal height as well. I just don't understand it, why am I so short? I'm confused. I feel torn between two things. You'd think something as simple as height wouldn't upset a peson so much, but it does. I don't "fit in" with other little people, because I don't have a medical reason for being so short. I feel like an outsider, I don't feel welcome. I don't fit in with regular people because I'm so short, and they just make fun of me, since I don't have any diseases or disorders as to why I'm this short. They intimidate me. I mean, I'm sure if I really was a midget/dwarf/whatever, my doctor would have said something right? I don't know what to do.

You can't do anything about it really. Accept the fact, I'm sure not everyone will tease you about it. short people aren't outsiders. Have short pride, as stupid as it sounds.
------- I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.
