[quote=Anonymous]I’m actually pretty surprised to hear OP saying his made-varsity-as-a-freshman son is receiving daily abuse about his height. What sort of comments and abuse are we talking about? My kids attend a UMC HS as well, and while kids tease each other about all sorts of things, and most (all?) boys would prefer to be tall, I haven’t heard about any persistent campaigns to shame short boys. All of my sons’ friends who are short and athletic are popular. The same is true for short non-athletes with great personalities. It is definitely the case that parents seem to envy parents whose boys are tall, which is pretty messed up. I have an acquaintance whose son is 6’4”, and she treats his height as a personal accomplishment. [/quote]
