5 terrific things about being teeny

 

Check these out, too...

  • Tell us what YOU think: How do you boost your body confidence?
  • Why do my fingers turn red when I'm cold?
  • 3 times it's OK to tell your bestie's secret
  • Do guys only care about chest size?
  • Why is my tummy so rumbly?
I am 14 years old and only 5'1". My doctor says I probably won't grow anymore, and I am the shortest of all my friends. I look weird next to them in pictures, since they are really tall. I can never find jeans that fit, and my parents don't allow me to wear high heels. I always seem to be peering up at people who are so much taller than me. Are there any advantages to being short?

 

From one 5’1” hunnie to another, I can confidently and happily tell you that being short is no big deal. There are tons of us petite pretties out there, so don’t feel like you’re in a major minority just ‘cause all of your friends are tall.

 

Here’s me best-of list for why being short totally rocks:

 

1. I can date anyone I want without worrying if he’s too short for me.

 

2. I’m always cute. Period.

 

3. I can wear sky-high heels (well, could, once my ‘rents let me) without towering over the world.

 

4. I always get the best hiding places when my friends and I play hide-and-go-seek. (OK, I might be a little juvenile sometimes…)

 

5. I never have to worry about pants being too short, or growing out of my favorite pair.

 

Build the list, babes! What are great things about YOUR height?

To everyone freakin about their height. There are advantages and disadvantages for every height. Being short can be frustrating but being tall is too. When your short, you can't reach things and you feel so much smaller then everyone else. But its easier to find shoes and clothes. Your cute and look good in high heels. When your tall, you sometimes happen to grow too fast, joint problems and such. A lot of times, you're clumsier than everyone else, but you eventually outgrow it. You hit your head on stuff. And it is very, very, very difficult to find clothes that fit. Especially pants and shoes. But people tell you that you can be a model. Girls, I'm 14 and 6'0. My doc says I have 1-2 inches left. I just had knee surgery because I dislocated my knee 23 times(in 5 years). I wear a size 12 in shoes. But being tall comes in handy for sports. I play volleyball and basketball. Girls, don't worry about your height. Everything is beautiful. And has advantages and disadvantages. So don't worry

I'm 13 and I'm 5 feet 2 in. but my friends are way taller than me. So if I ever get embarrassed and want to hide behind my friends, I easily can. So another good thing about being short than your friends that is if you get embarrassed and you want to hide, you can stay behind your tall friends.
