[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to teach him some comebacks to any height insults ad get him to be self-deprecating about it. My stepson is extremely short -- he is about to turn 13 and by far the shortest one of all his friends although he is the oldest. My 7 year old is about an inch shorter than him, which makes it especially tough. However, he just embraces it and makes it part of who he is and wore t-shirts that say things like "aren't you a little short to be a stormtrooper" which just disarms kids who might want to pick on him because he obviously doesn't care about it. Truth be told, he does care, but he doesn't show it and that works. There's not a lot you can do. It's tough being short, especially for a boy, but nothing can be done. HGH is not good at all if you have a kid who's just genetically short. [/quote]
