How can i get my mom to stop talking about my height?

Question

Im 14 years old and 4ft 8inches

Im proud of my height, and i still know i wont stop growing until im around 18.

My moms not okay with it, she doesnt want me to be so short, but shes like the same height as me, and she keeps telling me to skip rope and jump, but i sorta know that skipping and jumping wont help me grow at all.

She keeps pressuring me to do all these weird things to try to grow, but i got my shortness from her. Its genetics i suppose. She wont shut up about it. It brings me down sometimes, and she always says if i turn to be still the same height as i am when im like 20 she'll be very disappointed. How can i get her to stop?

Answer 1

Well, you got a whole inch on me.  I am 4'7 and something.   I have a feeling you may grow a bit more.  

Just tell her" please stop. You are making me really self conscious.  It is hard to be this tiny at 14.  You are making it worse."  

If she doesn't talk to your Dad or Grandma and see if they will shut her down.  

Answer 2

Dude ignore her, I was the same story I was a tiny guy back then once I hit 16 I grew to 5'11, then to 6'1. Just tell your mom .. Okay mom but your gonna have to do it also, so you can grow a few inches aswell.

Answer 3

It's doesn't matter if you're short or tall.  Just ignore her.  You have many years to come to have a chance to grow a taller, like a growth spurt! :)

Answer 4

Just tell her that you got your height from her, and that you are going to be short more than likely, THEN say"but it is o.k. Mom,I am going to join the circus when I turn 18!"That should get a good response from her.
