I'm 16.. asian and my height is 147 cm... i feel so short (well that's the fact)...
among of my friends i was like the shortest... even my lil' sister is taller than me...
i really hope i can be taller than this..
it makes me feel shy and have self-esteem problems..do u think being this short is okay?
is there any way to be taller?.... or i will be like this forever?????

[cookingcooking]

16 still has alot of potential to grow taller.How tall are your parents?
Anyway since u r a girl u can always wear heels:p

When i was 16 i was 150cm,but now i am 1.77m.
Sometimes i just wish i was shorter.

[BabyVanilla]

im 19 and im 150 cm, havent grown since year 6 ^^"
Your height depend on your parents too and well eat more healthy~ drink more milk. Exercise helps too hehe
Being small is not that bad because you can get tickets at kids price, not to mention you'll look younger

[marasshi]

To the OP: If you're a girl, don't worry if you're short. I'm short too and I've never experienced self-esteem problems. It's just height.

[mukguhim]

Wear heels.
If you often wear shoes you may want to get those pads you put in shoes, like those that eunhyuk always use

Do stretching everyday.

cookingcooking: my parent? they're not really short.. just average asian height.. are u serious your height is 150 cm when you are 16 and 177 cm now? i wish my height is 168 cm.... i will go to college next year.... i just feel uncomfortable with my height... since i can't find jeans that's really work well with me...

BabyVanilla: i want to drink milk so badly... but everytime i drink milk.. i will vomit after that... milk doesn't suit with me

marasshi: thank you for telling me this... i didn't feel confident with my height is because when i took pictures with my friends.. i will always be in the middle... and they was like 160cm++

mukguhim: hahahahaha yeahhh Eun Hyuk lol... heels? that's what i do everytime i go out... but it so uncomfortable... cause i cannot run or walk faster

[cookingcooking]

ya i was like 15+ when i was 150cm.
but when i am about to go to college i just shoot-______-
now i look out of place among my friends.

You really shouldn't be self conscious about your height.Most of my guy friends told me they like girls like you. As for jeans you can get it tailored,its really easy.
It makes them wanna protect you.
And heels can add 8 cm to your height.And your height is ok for asian.Furthermore with your height you can pull off cute looks without trying too hard and look young.


Playing basketball definitely help in my opinion.Cos i was on school team.

^ Im 150cm right now! & I just turned 17 a few days ago.
So my height is the same when i was 16.
How did you grow so TALL? .
My dad side has tall relatives. But my mom's pretty short.
So it all depends on my recessive & dominant alleles. :X

your reply make me smile hahahaha..... i think i feel okay with my height problem now... cause i need more of opinions...
at school, some of my guy friends will be like "hey shortie" and other mean comment....
when i told my close friends they will be like "your height is doesn't matter".... Basketball, so that's why the player is so effin tall

@rohna

Alien kidnapped me and inject me with male hormones.My dad is pretty tall he's 1.8m,my mum is 1.55m.I guess i take after my dad.And i inherited my dad's boobs size too

@pikakitty

Why would you think "shortie" is a mean comment?I think its kinda of cute actually.If they add "ugly shortie" then its classified as 'mean comment',if not then its not.U r being too sensitive.lol.

[pikakitty]

cookingcooking: what if they said in mean way? and laugh? awww i admit i'm a sensitive girl... hehehehe... no doubt... my male cousin (dad side) was 178 cm i think he's 180 cm now lol... and he's only 15.. i feel jealous with him cause when we're kid, he's shorter than me... hahahahahjah....

[PoppinBC]

Really not too much you can do about it... but honestly, don't let height be a factor in your confidence. You are who you are, and honestly, a lot of guys are more attracted to short girls (me being one of them =P) than tall girls. Don't get down about it; you can't change some things, you just have to learn to move forward in the best way possible with what you have.

[x. S o R a]

i dont see why being short is a problem ^-^
most asian boys love short girls.
because they think it's cute and it makes them feel better too because boy's pride is just >>
im 14, and im 160 cm. haha
it's best to play basketball and do some stretching.
basketball = key to being tall
i have this guy friend, who's also 14.
and if im not wrong, he's 180cm+ >>
his brother is even taller.
and they're both school team basketball players ^-^
btw, being short is better >>
boys will think you're cute and try to protect you. -has seen that alot-
ps: im like, one of the short ones in class >>

[pikakitty]

PoppinBC & x. S o R a: thanks for the reply.... i think i feel so much better now.. cause i need more opinions like i write before
you don't even know how much it makes me gain confidence back... cause i have hard times right now.. maybe i was too focusing on my future hehehehee...... and i'm so confusing.... thanks a lot for all the respond... i don't mind... ^^ i hope i can read more respond.. and it can help other girls who has felt the same way like i do

[jenniferpark.]

you'll probably still grow. just wait a few more yrs. beside you can always wear heels =) and a lot of guys like short girls hehe

thank you so much for the reply.. yeahhh heels.... it reminds me some of the memories lol

[joychin89]

Do more stretching . Stretching is better than jumping

[maharu.]

Well there's always heelsXD I personally think small girls are so adorable<3

You have a potential to grow...if you sleep and eat properly.
I didn't do that so I'm stuck at 156 cm

[suzic87]

I'm short too and apparently I've lost a cm off my height :x but I would say just stretch and drink milk.

I'm 21 so I can't grow anymore but you have potential (however, what is getting me motivated that I might grow taller is that a female hong kong celebrity had a growth spurt at 23yrs lol)

[Honey.bee]

If you vomit after assimilating milk..why don't you try different methods? Uhm, what about stretching? I grew about 2cm from drinking lots of milk, jumproping, and all that things that take pressure to feets.
