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!
Unfortunatly, I don't think you are going to grow any more.
And, Unfortunatly, there isn't any way to make your self taller.
The best thing you can do is just try and ignore everyone -- make the best out of being short. You don't hit your head on everything :)
Try wearing heals, or wedges that will make you gain a few inches.
Tell your friends also to back off -- explain to them how you don't like being called short, and to start treating you like their friends.
Of course, most shoe stores have 5s!
Look arround.
(Rating: 5) I know I'm not going to. Haha good point on not hitting my head on stuff.. but not being able to reach stuff is another thing ;) And, it's really hard to find 5's, most dont but i'll keep trying. Thanks :)
