I hate my height! Why am I so insecure about it, how can I learn to love it?

Question

I'm 14, and am only like 5'2.5

I really hate my height, and am pretty sure I'm not gonna grow anymore. If anything I'm gonna shrink.

I feel like I'll never be able to date a tall guy, and that I'll never be able to excel in sports because I'm so short!

how can i have a better mindset? i just hate my height, and wish I were 5'6 or something. That's a pretty height. Being short is so annoying..

Answer 1

look, at least you're probably going to be shorter than most guys you meet and date or whatever. I think they generally like girls who are shorter than them, so you're going to be in the clear. I am 5''10, so it gets old trying to find a guy taller than me. But I have, and I also used to HATE my height. But I've learned to embrace my height, as height is one thing that you cant change. Look at it this way, you can wear cute heels and wedges and still be shorter than your guy. Must be nice. Consider yourself lucky!!  

Answer 2

Oh please dont worry about your height! I'm 15 and 5'7" and I used to ENVY girls(and still do somewhat) yourr height soo much. Then i realised i should just be comfortable with my height. I realised theres so many pro's to being tall, just like im sure theeres so many pro's to being shorter (:

Well. You can wear high heels! Whereas taller people feel like a giraffe in them lol g'luck ♥

Answer 3

heighth isnt everything, you just need to learn how to deal with it.

Answer 4

Just realize that this is who you are. I'm 5'2" and my boyfriend is 6'4". I'm 19yrs old and it's not so bad. Yea, some people call you shorty sometimes, but it's nothing that you should really care about. Like anything else, there are pros and cons to being short and being tall. Tell yourself you're a beautiful person, no matter what :)

Answer 5

I was 5' 2"  when i was 17 and somehow gained 2 inches before i was 19.

I hate that there are things that i can't reach.  In college, you will find that tall guys don't seem to mind dating short girls.

Answer 6

I've seen shorter girls that date taller guys. Your still able to date a tall guy I wouldn't care.

Answer 7

See this site with advice for teen girls. Look on the chapter about your height and see  the height of some of your favorite celebrities.

You are the same height as Avril Lavigne. Have you heard of Reethe Witherspoon (LEGALLY BLOND) and Natalie Portman (STAR WARS)? You are taller than them and there are many more that are shorter than you.

Answer 8

accept your place in the world. Wishing makes you think harder it may work but probably very stressful. its your way of life's choice.

We are alive, keep it. . . what only really matters
