When I showed up on my first day of being a teaching assistant as a grad student, the professor told me there was no way the students would respect me because I looked 14.

We all look very young in the family. Ageism in reverse - we suffered from it when young, but less as we age.

So tell him that when his peers all look like hags, he might still look youthful and he's less likely to be pushed out... if he takes care of himself (sunscreen, clean living).

Ageism won’t matter, his career will be hampered as short king. Average US height is 5’9”, for non Hispanic whites it’s 5’10”.

Is he likely to grow taller? I would honestly consider growth hormone since men today are BREAKING their legs to get taller as adults.

It hampers career, dating, sports…

OP - as others have mentioned, he's not short, which should help a little. It sounds like he just has a baby face? Is there any way you could take some temporary actions to make him feel older? Like a new haircut? Or a shopping trip to get some clothes for the summer? Maybe even a "nicer" brand of clothes to make him feel mature?

Also OP some strength training and attention to diet can help. My DS is the same age and in the same boat (currently 5’9” maybe 120). His weight gain has picked up a little bit with strength training + making an effort to eat more calories. Last year at this time he was 5’5” 95 - obviously is still skinny but has put on 25lbs in a year. Obviously, he is still not muscular or filled out in appearance, but he is stronger and is trying his best and it has been good for his health and self esteem too.

A lot of gyms and fitness centers will offer beginner strength training or conditioning classes (Google for your area). At minimum, he will learn how to lift weights or do other strength training exercises safely and properly. Also there is a wealth of info online about dietary changes to help skinny teen boys gain weight (because this is really very common).

Tell the young man to hang in there.

You didn’t look like an elementary age student and your parents didn’t send you early. You looked younger and you were sent on time and not held back liked you wished.

Dang it! I forgot that you are an expert on my life! Of course you are right! I mean, I THOUGHT I looked like an elementary schooler (90 pounds, 5'0) but obviously YOU knew better! I forgot to check with you first! AND , back then parents were given a choice and my parents chose to send me early- or so I and they thought! We forgot that you dictate our reality! Give it a rest you narcissistic Massengill container, I was trying to help someone, you were being you

Your reality is hyperbolic.

Like your ego

Like your dramatics.

Yeah, I figured I would just make up a story. So, while we are at it, I bet your parents were Massengill bags too

All the kids thought you were an elementary student, sure. Elementary age kids are 5 feet tall. Not middle schoolers because it wouldn’t fit your dramatics.

They didn't think so because I was in their school. You are just one of those tools who hangs around trying to get a reaction. You got one so congrats. Still doesn't change your Massengillish background.

Okay, drama queen and your imagined wishful “knowledge” at your desperate attempt of a gotcha.

"Imagined, wishful" would make more sense Massengill. Also, you would probably be better off with the preposition "at" instead of "of".

Pot meet kettle.
Look upthread at your punctuation errors, hypocrite. No periods at the end of numerous sentences. No commas where needed, etc.

Awww touched a nerve huh Massy ? Maybe your reaction to my initial statements is due to a latent desire to regress into your OWN past. The only reason we are having this discussion is that you felt qualified to jump in and present your expertise on MY past lol. It's ok, a lot of babies , like you, are mired in egocentricity.
