how tall are your parents?
maybe you were adopted and/or bastard child of an affair your mother had with a midget.

also it's mostly genetics. nothing much you can change.

Op here.

well my mother is shorter than me and my father is tall than me, so I guess i'm stuck in the middle, male also tend to grow till 22y's am I right? maybe I've got a slow genes.

you'll grow an inch max...

you are stuck being a midget... sux being you... buuuut

many very succesful people are quite small = they try to compensate their lack of hieght that way.

Also become extremely buff, with your short bones it will be much easier to achieve RIPPED body

Na bro.
Most males max out in height at 16-17.
Any later and you'll be lucky to grow 1-2" more.

Doesn't work like that. It's more like tall people were likely to be tall in school, and so did better because of increased confidence. I think.

Consult this graph... you'll be lucky to get a significant amount more.

Yes that is quite lol worthy. You compared and contrasted yourself to him first with your age then noting the large difference in height. I should like to partake in this 'lol' sometime.

both are kinda right
there are Some short people who are successful because they need to compensate for their shortness somehow and so have a desire to succeed and go far

many tall people are successful because they are tall

but overall, short people are more likely to be unsuccessful than tall people

You're a idiot. You essentially just said that every single successful short person has a height complex.

Also, it pisses me off that short people are ridiculed in this way. It's like people consider a tall person who has done nothing with his life more respectable than a short person who has done something with his life, because 'LOL HES JUST TRYING TO COMPENSATE FOR HIS SIZE, HES ACTUALLY PATHETIC'.

And Inb4 'Must be a shortfag', I'm 5'10".

yes i did ) and in like 90% it is true

short people feel inferior, they look inferior, thus have to compensate it somehow.

Some build muscle
Others fail miserably and live a pathetic life

In the middle of the earth in the land of the Shire
lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire.
With his long wooden pipe,
fuzzy, woolly toes,
he lives in a hobbit-hole and everybody knows him

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Now hobbits are a peace-lovin' folks you know
They're never in a to hurry and they take things slow
They don't like to travel away from home
They just like to eat and be left alone
But one day Bilbo was asked to go
on a big adventure to the caves below,
to help some dwarves get back their gold
that was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Well he fought with the goblins!
He battled a troll!
He riddled with Gollum!
A magic ring he stole!
He was chased by wolves!
Lost in the forest!
Escaped in a barrel from the elf-king's halls!!

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Now he's back in his home in the land of the Shire,
that brave little hobbit whom we all admire,
just a-sittin' on a treasure of silver and gold
a-puffin' on his pipe in his hobbit-hole.

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Yeah, they couldn't possibly be doing it to make lots of money and live a comfortable life, or have some sense of accomplishment, or maybe even try to make the world a better place? Yeah, if you're short, all of your life goals suddenly cease to be for any of these reasons, and your only motivation is to compensate for size.

You're stupid.

If you're a male and under six feet tall you should just kill yourself.

drink more milk and eat more meat. cows are fed hormones to make them grow. if you eat the meat & milk from hormone treated cows, you end up eating bovine growth hormone.

there was a study about how heights have skyrocketed in europe, america, etc. it came down to improved diets. if your fed better as a kid, you can grow to attain the maximum height your genes allow. so eat as well as you can, but your genes may keep you from hitting 6 feet.

he is 19 years old!
at age 13 zones of growth close up. so Somatotropin doesn't increase the hieght of a person as much...

As i remember first your bones grown in length by extending the parts near the ends (metaepyphisys)...
Later the middle of the bone starts to lengthen...
I'm rambling, sorry

Get elevator shoes, even if it's a lie, most people won't notice..

You'll feel a lot better, my brother is only 5'6" and I am 5'11", and I can tell being short bothers him, so he got elevator shoes that bumped him up to 5'9" and likes it a lot. The "all short males have short man complex" is a partially true, not because they're got a disorder but because it is needed just to be noticed, if you were short you'd be the same way.

must suck to take those shoes off at the end of the day and still be a midget.
>> Anonymous
>>451755
i dunno about that...it is a lie like you said, the point of him wanting to be taller is to be more "normal," and elevator shoes won't have him achieve that at all...if anything it will make him more unusual and self-conscious.
bottom line, there's really nothing you can do about it but accept it. it can't be that bad...the shortest u.s. president was 5'3, as well as the shortest NBA player. the current president of france is like 5'4. tom cruise is 5'6 and he's the most wanted guy out there. you have to work on your bottom line without worrying about something most people won't have a problem with.

damn, see, that looks dumb and pretty obvious. he's probably about 5'5, maybe 5'8 there with those shoes, but the thing is, he's only added 3 inches to his legs. he's still got the body of a 5'5 person, i.e. his arms are really short, torso, shoulders still small. everything becomes disproportionate and it just doesn't look right. i'd be willing to guess that people know about the "secret" of the guys who wear these, they just feel too sorry to bring it up.
