I am a sophomore in high school and going on 17 years old. Despite my age, my whole life ive been the smallest in every class. I had a bone scan which revealed that my puberty was over 2 years behind (this was about six months ago). I just started to hit my growth spurt which brought me from a generous 5”2 to 5”7, with a predicted cap at 5”10 - 6”2. Even though im going to grow, its still horrible going through day to day life, although not as bad as it used to be, the comments and lack of respect makes it insufferable. Its a problem with girls too. I dont think height matters too much unless theyre taller than you, which is what happens on a daily basis. For example, today I was talking to this girl (added her on snapchat quick add) and I convinced her to come over next weekend. It was going good, until she asked how tall I was. When I responded with 5”7 I got an “oh…” followed by her telling me she was 5”9. It really sucks because everything wouldve worked out if I was maybe 2 inches taller (yeah ik 2 inches is fraud able but what do I do indoors lmao). Im not really expecting anyone to read all this tbh it’s mostly just a vent post.
