I know your pain. I'm 20, and i'm 5'4". On top of that i have an extremely young looking face, so everyone finds it hard to believe i'm actually older than 15 :frown:

This is true, 18 and 6'4" now, was 6'2" when I turned 17... And like 5'11" at 16...

Oh it definitely is, at least a 5'8 country, clothes shopping is a challenge. They think you get to 6' and start getting fatter, everything just gets wider past L instead of longer too... My one fitting t-shirt is from Texas

OP, all the more reason why being 5'4" isn't terrible... Think about it, how much easier is it to talk to girls at clubs for example? Not having to bend over just to hear them...

Awe Hun, I'm a girl and 18 and I'm just 5ft1...
I know how you feel, hobbit like isn't it ...
Well don't worry someday you will find someone who will love you just the way you are :smile:

For example I haven't yet but I know I will, even now as all my friends are BFGs (big friendly giants) take the mick out of my height, calling me 'frodo', 'smurfy' and a m&m (mighty midget) ! :wink:

But you must know that size doesn't matter, it's what on the inside (personality not guts) that counts... :biggrin:

Is there any way at all I can become taller? Everyone is so much taller than me and it makes me feel really self concious.

Just find a small chick, everyone is self conscious about something

My dad (he's 83) has had a lifetime of being hard pressed to find clothes to fit. When a branch of High and Mighty (they might not exist any more, but you can get the idea, I'm sure) opened where I live, he came over, very excited, expecting to fill his wardrobe with exciting off-the-peg clothes for the first time, only to discover he wasn't quite high enough or mighty enough for any of them. His disappointment was awful to watch.

Really........ It's only a problem if you let it be one. I have a friend who is over 6'2 and always complains about his height.

Date Asian women. They're approximately 5'1-2 on average.

I expect reps for this top-drawer advice in twenty-four hours or less.

BTW, OP, if you happen to know how tall you were at the age of 2 years and 9 months, you can work out what your final height is likely to be, since males are usually half their eventual height at that age. It's 2 years and six months for girls. It worked for my kids. (5' 11" and 6', measured by their grandmother every 6 months from birth.... She wanted to know if they were going to end up as big as their granddad. They didn't.)
