Being Short.

Vapor · #21

man, you really shouldn't worry. I (age 16) know a BUNCH of short people in successful relationships.

5'9''.

Man, I totally want to be really tall. That'd be cool.

I'm taller than my older sister.

Also, I think my problem is I don't eat many vegetables.

I'm 6'3, and I've always been the "tall guy", so I don't know too much about being short. However, I do know that, despite shawt people havin' no reason to liiiiive as the classic song tells us, many of my short friends are far more successful than me with relationships. It's more about personality and less about being heinously tiny. Or at least I think so.

I think another reason I'm short is because I was a preemie (In case you don't know, that means I was born prematurely).

Vegetables have nothing to do with it. I'm around 6ft, taller than both my parents, and all the vegetables I ever eat are carrots. Lots a milk though.

There were orphan identical twins one time and each got adopted by a completely different family. One family was very rich, and the other very poor. In the end, the the twin sent to the rich family who was fed well and was very healthy ended up being a foot taller than the twin sent to the poor family that wasnt fed well and wasnt very healthy, so nutrition does have a lot to do with height.

yeah, I'm 6'1 and it sucks. I have to duck all the time...

I have no idea how tall I am, but I don't care. Y'see, the trick isn't to look at one's real height; look at their personality's height.

- My older sister is about... 4? inches shorter than me. But I'll always look up to her. So I see her as about 3 inches taller.

- My mom is exactly my height at the moment. Because she [strike]controls my food supply[/strike] is my mom, I see her as about a foot taller.

- Most of my friends are taller than me. Tim is one... but I look down on the fool. I see him as about 5 inches shorter.

So, you see, it doesn't matter how tall you really are.

Also, I spent a good portion of my life being short. And it's not a bad thing, really.

On the bright side, you guys don't have any problem fitting into cars. Because they're all made for east coast urbanites and Japanese people who're maybe 5'0 who don't have enough room to grow due to the population density. I have to be a flippin contortionist to fit into most cars that aren't either
a) Expensive as **** mini-vans
b) Gas guzzling SUVs

It's either my head is tilted sideways against the ceiling (Meaning that if I ht a speedbump, I die of a broken neck) or I'm hunched over with my knees on the ceiling in a sedan.

And don't get me started on airplanes...other than Southwest and Spirit (Which doesn't fly out of my region), I've been lucky I haven't had to amputate my legs from the knees down after several flights out.

Buy one of those Hummers. Not one of the new ones, the super expensive army ones. Then you won't seem so tall. Or a tank.

That's a Humvee, dear.

This one's the Fun-vee, & that one's the Hum-drum-vee. See you back at the base, Rhodey.

Galefore · #36

^(several weeks of pain and suffering later) How was the Fun-vee?

^btw I fixed your run-on with a semicolon okay bye

I was on a highschool basketball team. Most team captains were the team's point guards, and most point guards were the smaller guys. In HS B-ball, it's just the forwards who are huge.

In case anyone cares, I've had someone measure me three times over the past two years and I seem to be locked in at exactly six feet tall. I have OCD. This height pleases me.

My brother, Firestorm, is five feet, eleven and three quarter inches tall. :p

The only thing I really don't like is how short a lot of girls are. This causes a contrast in which I really like tall girls, so I guess it's okay.
