I used to be the big one.

[Nalrah]

Now im just small compared to everyone my age,

Im turning 16 in april and im only 5'6

Please dont give me the "Your gonna hit your growth spurt."

It generally makes me feel worse, why is everyone my age nearly 6ft and im still down here, alone in this huge world "/

Im in the 5 Percentile of height for my age... 95% of boys my age are taller then me.

I hate it so bad, and considering I weigh alot. Im going <---> way instead of ^

Get me?

Hey there.

Honestly - I wouldn't worry. We're growing all the time :]
Let's see, girls like to date guys that are taller than them, the average height for women is 5' 4.4". So your taller than women - if that is an issue for you?!

The average height of an adult male is 5'10'' and the approx average for a 16 year old male is 5'8'' - your not that far of this!!

As for being small in this huge world - measure yourself on personality and character rather than height!! Being yourself will get you places in life =]

Try and be happy with who you are =]

i wouldn't worry about it too much to be honest - theres not much you can do about it anyway!. so really, it's not worth stressing over. 5'6 is hardly tiny!

if you're worried about girls, then don't be. a lot of girls are shorter than you..

[WillO'Wisp]

Aww, don't feel bad. You're younger than me and you're already almost my height! Considering you are still growing, you're going to be alot taller than me soon, and you're going to keep growing. In the meantime, don't worry about it, don't feel bad.

Its little man syndrome getting me down..

I am in no way tring to brag but alot of people used to be terrified of me for my build, im a hulky guy, Built like a fridge.

But now I feel all out of proportion and I absolutely hate having to look up at people, it makes me grind my teeth.

And having everyone look down on you, Makes me feel so petty and weak,

I was considering going to the GP and seeing if I can get HGH Injections, since im in the 5% percentile I'm allowed to have them.

This is bringing out alot of other problems, my Girlfriend has noticed my weight gain because of my height, Im getting rather depressed because of all of this.

Thank god my Girlfriend is only 5'1

I dont want to be fat and short, I feel incomplete.

I hate my body T_T

[Singing to the starlight]

To be honest, you're not actually that short. How tall are your parents? That will help you figure out if you've got much more growing to do, and, even if you've stopped growing, so what? Learn to love yourself

[Pink Ranger]

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm shorter than most people my age, and I'm only 4 years older than you. I've learned I can actually do a lot more than other people. With my job, I'm able to slide through windows/get in tight spaces, get in rolled over cars, etc, a lot better than some of the people that I work with. It's good to be short, trust me. Besides, you are only 15. You've still got a lot more time to grow. If you don't, you'll learn to love yourself. Don't assume you'll be happier when you get taller, either. It doesn't work that way. The first thing starts within you, you have to accept the fact that you just may be short.

Also, for the record, I'm only 5'4".

[TheLittleNinja]

Please don't go for injects to help you out - I'm sure you'll still grow some more!!
Weight gain doesn't necessarily mean fat - from your description your probably just developing muscles which will look and feel like weight gain.

I hope your girlfriend was nice about how she put it to you - and that you don't feel self concious about it!

I'm only about 5'1" and my boyfriend is nearly 6' - I can't even look him in the eyes which is VERY annoying!! Your height would be much better!!

Please don't feel too depressed, please love yourself. Your girlfriend loves you for who you are - so should you!! People don't judge a man by height - and too be honest - your not that small =]
