I'm 15 and 5'6" and every time I'm around family or my taller friends my parents go on at me about how I could have been taller if I hadn't have done this or that
"look at your cousin he slept 9 hours every night and never touched weights early thats why hes already 6'0"
"told you working out this young was gonna stunt your height"
"if you just went to bed earlier instead of being on your phone you would be taller by now"
they say it all so casually like its a joke but you can see it in their face they are disappointed. My mom will even go as far as pointing at my taller friend and tell him "see he listens" and my dad will just have this "i told you so" look
I'm so sick of it. I'm not short because I didn't get enough sleep or because I worked out. I'm short because OF THEIR GENES. Both of my parents are short and somehow they think I'm the one who failed by getting genes from them. They gave me their height and then they blame me for it like it's my fault
I already sleep good and I stopped working out for a while nothing happened because it's not my fault and they keep going on at me every time a relative comes over and they tell me the same things. I'm really tired of their attitude and how they make me feel like I'm defective or something.
