question

Anyone know how to ge a growth spurt? Im really short and i cant take it anymore. Its always been an insecruity of mine. I feel dumb next to everyone, everyone towers over me. Im almost 18, and i hate it i dont look my age. Any advice? Is anyone one here tall and can give me advice tips. It might seem stupid, but trust me its not when your small and people dont take you seriously. Thanks

Okay I feel you, I'm short too. Thankfully not too short but still pretty short at 4'11 (I cheat myself by giving an extra half inch to my height) and honestly if it doesn't happen naturally there really is no way to get a growth spurt. Sure there are things like stretching or whatever but those are generally temporary or a psychological illusion. I could recommend you wearing insoles or shoes with a hidden heel but that's not the same (at least for me). Buuuuuuut you can join me in the #SmallEnoughToOrderAKidsMealAndNotBeLookefAtStrangely (that was hard to type).

ur not dumb bcuz of ur height. height only determines how tall u r it doesnt determine brains. I know someone shorter than me and she said although people think she's a kid when they first see her, they mistake her for an adult when she talks to them since she's super smart. as for a way to get taller... it depends on the height of u family as well as what u eat. but... since ur almost 18 im not sure if u will grow anymore but who knows? anyway if u do find a way to get taller lemme know lol i wanna grow

As a guy that's 6ft 1, let me tell you this ... the greatest things really do come in small packages. Just because you're short doesn't mean you're not to be taken seriously, because you are. You have the same strengths and power as anyone who is taller than you, it's all just concentrated into a smaller body. You're not deformed. You're not a mutant. And you're certainly not dumb. You are smart, you are sweet and you have a lot to offer, and I know that already even though this will probably be the first we've spoken. You don't have to be 7ft tall to be powerful. You just need the right moment, and if yours hasn't come yet, then be prepared, because it will come and it will come very very soon.
