I am a short guy nearly 17 and i feel that i have done all my growing now.I havent grown in a couple of years,I have an older brother who is 21 and he is 5'6 and an older sister she is 18 and 5'7.I on the other hand have struggled to get where i am now.I had to get checked out by my doctor has i was shorter than alot of the boys in my year.He did some tests and just said that i was in the lower percentile for my age.That was 2 years ago and i measured 4'8.Even now when my mum checks my height i havent gained an inch.I apparently got my grandmothers height not my parents.My grandmother was 4'9 whereas both my parents are 5'5 and 5'7.I hate being this short has i get alot of silly name calling from people.I remember being starting senior school and i was 4'4 there was 3 other girls and 4 boys which were short.I was called littlelegs because my school blazer was down to my knees and all you could see was my short legs.The boys has the most hassle has girls were expected to be shorter.When i left school i had a chinese girl who was my height and another boy he was 4'9.So i know definetly i am not average height.Has soon has i get out of bed in the morning i know nothing is different.I will still be the shortest in my family and have to stretch for everything i want.My mum tries to put my items lower than my sister and brothers or i have to climb on a chair to reach them.If i am in a rush and i cant reach something my sister is okay with getting it but my brother tends to be wicked and say things like naw go get a chair.Which takes time for me and wouldnt take him long to do so.Then when i step outside of my home i encounter loads of problems.Take the bus when i go out sometimes the bus step is lowered and i can step on other times i struggle.I hate standing up has it is too awkward or the only seats are at the back of the bus and they are higher and my feet dont touch the floor so i end up with pins and needles in my feet.Talking to people in the shop is a nightmare has i am treated like a 10 year old and i have to always look up when i speak to them.Buying clothes is a nightmare to has i have to go to junior sections where the clothes fit much better and only need altering abit.My shoes are size 2 and for some reason i have to be lucky has they sell out alot quickly. So try to look out for us shorter people has i am forever being pushed and shoved and being told am i alright down there.Just be abit for considerate to my needs i dont expect too much.I cant help looking 10 and i dont like being stared at by people adult and kids.I understand that i have to try harder to get respect but i believe that treat people has you want to be treated.THANK YOU
