I HATE my height. HATE it.
I'm 5'5"
And a buncha people are shorter then me. I feel like I tower over them.
Is there any natural way to make myself shorter?
I doubt it, but I'm really tired of my height.

I like wearing longer tops so it doesnt make my legs look as long though :). And, like the 2 comments below, just wear flat shoes and flip flops :) [ Donnaaa's advice column | Ask Donnaaa A Question ]

The only thing I can think of, is wear flats. There are not any other ways that you can do make yourself shorter.
You know what? You should never be ashamed of your height. I know a ton of people, and there are a lot of people too that you know (but don't say anything) that (secretly) wish they could be as tall as you, but have to live with being shorter. I know because I am one of those people. I am going into grade 12 and I am only 5'4. All my years growing up, on picture day at school, they would line up all of my class from tallest to shortest.. and I was always last in line from grade pre.k to 10. Then one year it changed and there was one person shorter than I. But you know what? That did not matter, for you get used to being shorter, or taller, or the one with a birthmark, or the one with a different hairstyle, because it does not matter.
Accept who you are and appreciate the things that you may find annoying now, Because later in life people always realize that it is the person within that counts. No one will ever judge a person because of their height or anything. If you make a deal out of your height, other people probably will notice. Otherwise it just seems normal to everyone. Do not slouch, it shows you are unconfident and lazy.
Believe in yourself and show everyone how fearless you can be standing up tall! You are lucky to be tall, and unique. Don't ever forget that <3 [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
