[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's wrong with being short? [/quote]

Yeah i'm getting this too.  Being short enough that it impairs your day to day living (e.g., being able to comfortably drive), or if it's a symptom of an underlying medical issue is one thing.  But just being "short"?  I'm 5'2" and doing pretty darn well.  Married a really handsome dude 20 years ago who is 6'2" and my short body carried and pushed out two 8 1/2 lb. healthy babies who are now great, thriving teens.  I have a fulfilling career and a nice income.

Besides, being shorter is related to being healthier and living longer.  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12586217

I’m fine with being short too (5’1”). Aside from not being able to over tall heads, I don’t mind. But my DD is short and she feels differently. She desperately wants to be tall. Kids assume there is some value in being tall, which there isn’t but it’s hard to see that when you’re in middle school! [/quote]
