[quote=Anonymous]No. I was the shortest kid in my class every year in elementary. I am now average height for a woman (5'4"). For a long time I still thought of myself as short, though, and it was only after numerous people told me as an adult that I was weird for saying I was short, that I eventually figured out that I wasn't. It was just hard to shake this identity that had been deeply engrained in me as who I am throughout my childhood. Even in HS, people referred to me a short or little, even though by then I now realize I was probably approaching average and actually had friends who were shorter than I was for the first time. I'm not sure why my growth spurts just kind of went unnoticed. Maybe they were too gradual.[/quote]
