a SHORT ASIAN female

Exercise. The shorter someone is, the easier they are to get fat. I've seen way too many short women get fat when they get older. Don't be fat and short. You can change fat not being short. Your weight will probably skyrocket when you're in your 40s and older if you don't exercise. I have family members that are short as hell (mostly women). Most of them as they got older got plump and fat. High risk of diabetes and heart disease. You shouldn't be any more than like 130 max to avoid being borderline obese.

Im relatively thin, only for the upper body though and leg wise, it is okay and not too fat. My mom tells me to eat a lot as if i gain 'more' weight than I will not look that short. She uses my aunt as an example whos a bit shorter than me but since she is not thin, she looks taller than me? Im not sure if this is my mom but If she is not standing by me than she looks way taller.

Looking heavier makes a person look shorter. But if it's muscle then that's different. You have to watch what you eat because even a 5 lb increase on your body is a significant fat accumulation. I've seen plenty of short fat women, most short women are tbh its almost inevitable. They look too out of shape.
Being 4'11" Isn't a big deal. You're probably gorgeous. Ignore it, find somebody who likes you and if these sorts of comments offend you, tell the people who make it or have your significant other do so to stand up for you.

You're 13. You'll probably gain a few inches. I'd guess you'll be 5'5-5'6.

thanks for helping me out here. By muscles do you mean no skinny arms. Nothing wrong with this but it is time for me to look like an adult woman

How do i gain muscles

If you want to tone, find out what the max you can lift. Then do sets of 8-12 until you're fatigued. Don't push to the point your muscles fail. Make sure you work out all muscle groups and not just biceps.

a pic i found on google https://viniodresses.com/cdn/shop/products/off-the-shoulder-simple-mermaid-wedding-dresses-vw1876-wedding-dresses-viniodress-3.jpg?v=1669445829

These kinds of arms look mature and feminine. Is lifting the right way?

Sure. You can lift to tone. Marilyn Monroe did. You just don't want to lift to bulk up. Those are very different.

hello. so i am quite short, around 4ft 11 and something inches so not exactly at 4ft11, but not 5ft either(UGHH)

I am turning 21 and Im south asian

whenever, family friends come and they see me for the first time ever, they literally tell my mom "she's short haha, oh this is your son, wow he's SO tall, is he the oldest (he's younger than me btw)". This ruined my mood and I wasn't up to serve him food, but obv I had to with a dull face.

but this concerns me because i get told that I look 9 or 10.

Any advice on how to feel better? i try to ignore this but it gets to me. I don't even know why Im like this even though both of my parents are taller than me?? Makes me sad am typing this. Sorry for the rant

I'll tell you a secret friend- guys actually like girls that are slightly short (obviously not like 3feet tall) but you are actually a really cute height
