Question

What should i say to kids in school if they call me short? And most of the kids are like 5 7" and im 4 10"

Answer 1

I believe it is much harder for boys to be shorter than girls.

You may still have a growth spurt coming too. Nothing wrong with being short. I agree with the few others. I am a short women and I know growing up I would always tell them that dynamite comes in small packages.

Answer 2

Darn! Well, tell them that good things come in small packages.

Answer 3

is there a reason why you're smaller? my little brother is short and small in the body because he was born a preemie; i told him his comeback should be something about the fact that he could have died at birth so being short shouldn't matter.

but, I'm going to stoop down to adolescent boy level here. If they pick you for being short, tell them that you have no problem with being eye level with women's chest.

Answer 4

I would say, "That's very observant of you."

Then I would change the subject.

Don't try for clever comebacks.  It only escalates the issue.

Be well.

Answer 5

Assuming you are a boy, I would say, "its easier to look up the girls' skirts from down here!"

Answer 6

Don't say anything.  Just give them a good hard look and then keep going on with what you are doing.

Answer 7

i no what you mean to of my best friends are short just say im not small im fun size thats what we came up with

Answer 8

I like the old and reliable... "good things come in small packages"

Answer 9

A comeback is a way to put an end to it. You can't make fun of somebody if they aren't embarrassed.   Acknowledge your stature.  Tell them you hope to max out at 5'2 because your lifegoal is to be a jockey.  

Point out some superstars that are short Spud Webb 5'5 or track and field Olympic trials there is a runner named Trinidad (?) Holliday 5'5
