Dear short people.

Due to the fact that you are under a certain height you are considered cute/adorable (^_^)

There isn't anything that can be done about it unless you have surgery so therefore you will most likely remain cute/adorable.

So unless pedos look cute to you, i have to disagree with the OP
Not really, if you choke Human Growth Hormones one tablet a day you can still grow taller. Your topic is just so random, also there are people with abnormal limb growth.

Isn't HGH illegal unless it's prescribed?

People find their own and other people's appearances fascinating. I guess it is the first impression one gets from a person. As such, if your height is noteworthy (either way), it will be noticed and commented upon.

Better to be relatively short than to be fat, spotty, scarred or birthmarked heavily, or just "ugly".

The other related human trait is that we will always be dissatisfied with aspects of our appearance, regardless of how good-looking we may be. I would advise you to focus on improving yourself in ways you can influence.

If someone is *that* short then I'm sure doctors would happily prescribe it

I can't help that I find anything small, cute/adorable There are reasons why small things are called cute.

While I agree that a lot of my friends who don't push past 5'4" could be considered cute, many of them aren't fond of being babytalked or treated as a small child. Never mind being picked up by us taller folk.

I wouldn't advise calling everyone shorter than you cute unless you're close with them and they're ok with you calling them that, otherwise it'll be taken as extremely patronising and they wouldn't like you very much.

True, you cannot affect how you feel. However, you can affect how you communicate those feelings.

I'm 6'2 and I would love to date someone lower than 5'7, but many of them feel intimidated. Do you know of any way to seem less intimidating?
