height

azamc · 11 Sep 2011 at 02:23

hi,

ok this is an embarrassing, but very serious thread, i expect to be mocked but any help would be appreciated.

i am a short individual, the shortest amongst my peers, and without going too much into it, i am very concious of my height.

im looking for information on where to find a specialist on human growth to get reliable information, and if anyone else has ever been in a similar situation, your experience on the situation would be appreciated.

regards

azam

You cannot augment your height biologically.

You are what you are, accept it.

I hear the circus is hiring.

Big shoes.

Could be worse. You could be 6ft 6. I'm under the name "Lurch" in most of my friends phones. One particular friend also answers "Youuu raaaang" every time I phone him.

Actually there are some ways of increasing your height, its relatively easy. All you need to do is get a surgeon to break your legs and get the two pieces of bone pulled apart and kept in place by large braces for a couple of months. You may be able to get several cm of growth over several operations this way...

Sound good?

edit... Beaten...

How short is short and how old are you?

If you've got enough money you could pay a surgeon some money to break your legs and give you a couple of inches.

Just how vertically challenged are you?

Platform shoes, errmm...

There is the painful leg extension operation, that is it frankly.

OP is a manlet.

Must be awful for you. I heard of one guy who just couldn't take being short anymore, so he killed himself. He jumped off a curb.

On a scale of midget to giraffe how tall are you?

I mean how old are you. I can understand your concerns if you are a young individual, then when you're older you won't care what height you are.
If you are an adult then I would say learn to live with it. You are you and you shouldn't change for anything or anyone.

ahh here we go lol.

im 22 years old and im 5'5.

the leg operation is a no go. like i said im looking for a point in the direction of a specialist i could talk to about the proper excersize, diet and the possibility of HGH treatment.

StriderX · 11 Sep 2011 at 02:52

Doesn't seem that bad of a size.

Rich1988 · 11 Sep 2011 at 02:53

5 foot 5 isnt that short :/ its not exactly tall but its not like midget either

Emjeadea · 11 Sep 2011 at 02:56

5'5 isnt that bad and besides dieting will not help you grow now if you 22 thats it buddy you stop growing at 21

Buchanan0204 · 11 Sep 2011 at 02:57

Looks on the bright side... your the last to feel the rain

P.S. Tom Cruise is only 5' 7"

He does fine!

Just wear heels or do what most short guys do, add bulk.

Try not to sell yourself Short OP, while being vertically challenged can be a Little bit discouraging, it should be the Least of your worries. It completely normal and nothing to be Looked Down upon, just look at it as a Small matter and it will dissappear. If people tease you about it, just be the Bigger person and ignore them, don't be tempted to Stoop down to their level, they will Grow up one day.
