One of my best friends in college was barely 5’3". He wrestled at 118 lbs (very successfully) and was on the rugby team. While most people didn’t give a hoot about his height, the few that did had to deal with an ornery rugby playing wrestler and his bemused but quite supportive friends. It’s not a thing if you don’t make it a thing. A simple “Really? Grow up.” tends to suffice in the modern world.
There are guys who are your height in US colleges. I can’t imagine you’ll encounter any bullying. This is not something you should worry about. You’ll be fine
I am thinking of taking some jobs in some stores of gas station. So, will there be any problem for me to get job?
My uncle who is 5’10 also got bullied at college. Jerks are jerks, they don’t need your height to be bullies. Just have confidence and faith in yourself and you’ll be fine!
Uh…No? What makes you think you will be judged with your height?
are you a korean?
I’m 5’8 and haven’t had an issue with it
I am 5’5" tall. I moved into my first dorm and met my roommate who was 6’6". He took one look at me and said Oh God! I smiled and said " No, but thanks for the complement". We were never friends but got along OK. I also have a cleft lip and palate and while women didn’t exactly throw themselves at me I dated several women in HS and college and have been married for 34 years and have 2 wonderful daughters. You can’t change your height but you can decide to not make it an issue. The less you dwell on it the less others will.
My brother was only 5’5" when he started college. He was on the young side for his grade and had just turned 18. He continued to grow through his sophomore year and ended up at 5’10.5" - yes - he is very proud of the extra half inch and makes sure to include it! Anyway, he never had any issues and made plenty of friends. Good luck to you.
Somehow I can’t believe that you’ve started not one, but two threads on this subject.
You’re a 17 or 18 year old boy. Your height is your height. It’s no different than your eye color-- a part of the unique genetic makeup that makes you, you.
I don’t know of a single adult in my world who focus on height when they’re determining whether a new acquaintance will become a friend. Maybe that hasn’t been your experience with the kids in high school. But the adults in my world focus more on the quality of the person than his height.
I guess that what I’m saying is that you’ve got to stop worrying about something you can’t change. If the people you meet do focus on it, they’re still kids who aren’t worth your time. You’ll know the adults in your age group when you find them— they’ll like you – or dislike you for that matter-- based on who you are, not your height.
Move on. Stop worrying about it. College isn’t high school.
Per post 18. I found it amusing that my tall roommate almost always dated the shorter girls, 5’ to 5’3". I usually went out with girls my height or taller. The shortest being 5 1 and the tallest being 5 9. My wife is 5 6.
You asked if you can get a job in a store or gas station. I assume you are not a US citizen from the way you asked your original question. In the US, you cannot get a job off campus with a student visa. You height has nothing to do with it.
