Im 14 years old and turning 15 soon. I'm going to high school next year.
I'm fully grown with big boobs and I got my period in 5th grade which made me want to question whether or not I was growing anymore because I heard that if you have had your period for more than 2 yrs, you basically stopped growing.
I went to the doctor and I found out that I'm not growing anymore. I'm not even 5 feet! I'm 4'11. "I was one inch away from being a legal midget? My "friends" make fun of me saying that.
There isnt a day that goes by that I dont hear that I'm short. I know it shouldnt bother and it doesnt all the time, but hearing it all the time can make me feel bad, you know? I tell them all the time to stop and that you know it hurts but maybe that wasnt a good idea since now they know that makes me feel bad?
I should start wearing heels right? One problem! No shoe store has my size because the regular size is 6 and that's too big for me :( So.. I dont know what to do. Isnt getting customized shoes is expensive? Do any places have size 5 for women?
What should I do? It's probably not that big of a deal but I just found out so I'm still sensitive about the subject and I already tried letting my friends and family know that it bothers me but nothing has changed! Please help! =)
P.s. I'm sorry for it being long but i would really appreciate anyone's help!

Even though you have been fully develpoing since 5th grade you still have a chance of growing more. Your body stops growing at about age 18. Ignore what your family saysor Get a good pair of heels they always make me feel better, There are places that sell size 5, you just need to find them. Talk to your parents about your feelings and be honest about how it makes you feel when they call you short.
P.S. Im short too. ;)
Hope it helped.
