Association of Short Kids (ASK)

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hey. Lol, I just made the whole ASK thing up. I'm pretty sure nothing like that exists. Anyways, I am short :(. It's not so big a deal that I'm worrying about it day and night, as I'm 5'3 which isn't THAT bad, but I want to grow. I'm 15 and I'm one of the shortest kids in highschool. Most freshmen are taller than me :(. Anyways, how tall are you guys, and what diamonds can you shed on the whole vertically challenged predicament? </p>

<p>I know, for the most part, that it is mostly based on genetics, but I have short parents, and I want to do whatever I can to reach my max or go past :). I haven't grown for a whole year, then in the last three weeks, I suddenly grew about a cm, and I'm hoping I'm starting up again. Lol.</p>

<p>drink your milk! my mom is 5'2"- 5'3"ish and my dad is 5' 6"ish. im 5' 9" and a 16 year old girl. anything is possible! shoot for the stars!</p>

3

<p>im only 5'8.
havent grown for a while...</p>

4

<p>I'm 6'1" and have surpassed both of my parents' heights (hopefully you will too!). However, ideally I would still like to grow another 2-3 inches.</p>

<p>I haven't grown in a while though. I might be done growing, but who knows?</p>

5

<p>I'm 5'5" (male). Yay! Most of the eighth graders are taller than me, and I'm a senior. Mwahaha.</p>

<p>I think you really just have to make up for the shortness with a confidence boost. I would never sacrifice my good qualities for height. And I just tell myself that there's no reason why taller people should be considered better, so I don't feel inferior because of my lack of height.</p>

6

<p>You're all so tall compared to me =/</p>

<p>I'm 4'9"</p>

7

<p>Better it is to be 4' 9" than 5' 11.75". Those people amuse me.</p>

8

<p>lmao. Yes, well, at least my boyfriend and I look amusing together. He's 6'3".</p>

<p>Plus, there's nothing better than being a senior and having 7th graders think you're "one of them."</p>

<p>Napoleon Complex FTW</p>

<p>I'm 5'3" female sophomore. I haven't grown since I was in fifth or sixth grade. I might have grown a fourth or so of an inch, but not enough to really change my measurements at the doctor. </p>

<p>I didn't even surpass my mother.</p>

11

<p>^ haha you're the same as me 5'3'' sophomore, and haven't grown since 8th grade. Actually I think 0.25 inches but I don't think that really counts. I haven't surpassed my mother either but my younger sister has...Nor have I gained a pound since 7th...yeah..weird.</p>

12

<p>^ Same here. Same weight 125. If I were to actually exercise I might be less, but this is, according to my doctor (just went a few weeks aga :)) is my "healthy weight".</p>

13

<p>eh...i'm 86...yeah MUST gain weight...although I did grow 2 inches without gaining a pound..strange</p>

14

<p>^ Whoa. 86? Isn't that underweight. Whatever though. If you have muscle tone that's a different story. </p>

<p>My mom is convinced she is a good weight...95 and 5'4.5". I think she's insane, and needs to stop smoking. BUT that's just me.</p>

15

<p>im a guy and 95. 5'8</p>

<p>lol........</p>

16

<p>^ uh what? that can't be true, you like wouldn't exist haha</p>

17

<p>lol that's pretty skinny. I'm 6'1", 135 lbs and still skinny as a toothpick.</p>

18

<p>yeah..but no one has ever commented that I'm too skinny and my doctor is okay with it so I'm fine. Yeah maybe I don't look that skinny?</p>

19

<p>Hmm. That's odd. lol</p>

<p>Whatever works though I guess.</p>

<p>I have a friend who is a sophomore and HE is 5'3".
In middle school he was 4'11". I'm kind of dissappointed because I know he's going to be taller than me, but oh well. I guess it's good for him.</p>

<p>meadow 36 I was referring to the guy who said he's 5'8" and 95 lbs.</p>

<p>5'3" and 86 isn't bad. I know plenty people who have statures pretty similar to that.</p>
