Worried about being short at uni.
I'm 18, a guy and 5 foot 4. Everyone at my school is taller than me by half a foot or more. I'm worried that when I start uni this September that everyone will be even more taller than me and treat me like a kid because I'm so short! Are there many short people at uni?

People at uni come in all shapes and sizes you'll be fine. I've fit in well and I'm only 5'6 and quite a few of my friends are similar sizes and they've had no problems. You are likely to get asked for ID quite a lot though I did at my local shop and that was only to get a lucky dip on the Euromillions!

Stupid question, no? There aren't usually many short people anywhere because to be 'short' you've gotta be smaller than average.
I know a few short people, mostly from South America, they're fine with it. Not like you can do anything asides wear some ultra faggot 70s platform shoes.

Ha, from the looks of ironandwine's avatar she's the wrong gender for me.
You'll probably grow some more. I just over 5 foot when I was 16.

With a rocking body like that, nobody cares!
OP, I didn't stop growing until I was 20/21. Was probably about 5'9" at 18, 6'3" now. There will be loads of people your height, some shorter, some taller.

Yeah you've got a few years of growing yet. I on the other hand am 21 so am stuck at 5'6.
I'm 4'10, and I've never had any problems with being short at uni (or at work, or whilst travelling, or in any situation other than buying trousers). Yes, I still get ID'd - but as I'm under 21 I'd expect that anyway.
Worrying about your height isn't going to change anything, so you may as well get on with your life and make the best of things.

Im small and look too young, uni next year should be fun.
I've found it to be fine, although I did once have a random local start questioning me about my student status ("but you look too young") whilst I was stood at a bus stop on campus - he wouldn't believe I was a student until I'd produced my uni ID!
