I’m short and insecure about it.

I used to be the tallest boy in my grade, I was 5′4 in 7th grade…then stopped growing. I got a check-up a few days ago and my doc said I’m done growing cause I’m 17 and haven’t grown since 12. But he said my lil sis is still going. She’s almost 14 and about 5′8 and doesn’t stop rubbing it in. When I tell her to stop she just laughs…is there anyway to get taller…or just get her to stop?

im 24 and 5′5″ It always bothered me a lot too, but once I got out of Highschool and entered the real world it’s not that serious. I got a lot of girls and **** when I was 19 and been slowing down recently because I want more out of life (career, etc..) Just don’t worry about it have some confidence. When people see you they don’t say wow he’s short. It’ll get better in time have fun now you’re 17 go party, drink beer… a good social life seems to help also.
