I was really short too..5'1 and they did me the same way..but actually the guys like the short girls..we make them look and feel more manly..walk tall with confindence and your head up high..that makes all the diffence in the world..and if someone says awww you are so short..take it as a comliment cause short people will rule the world;)

we build muscles by stressing them out. lift some weights or play more. i have no idea about the height thing though. i'm guessing that's generic. but you can do exercises for your back & shoulder muscles to give you better posture- that would make you appear taller. in any case, holding your head high always helps.

Human Growth Hormone when used by an endocrinologist can make a child grow taller.  Unfortunately, a person will never grow past their genetic potential.  So short people like me are stuck wearing heels, sorry :-(

i'm a short-a-r-s-e too.so what's so good about being tall.i can still see at concerts,my wife is satisfied with the size of my c-o-c-k! i consider myself just as physically strong as the lads at work plus my eldest lad is coming into his teens so i will be able to steal his clothes!!.the only downside of being short i suppose is that some people try and bully me but i give as good as i get so its no problem...be a short-a-r-s-e and proud of it pal

when and where ,male or female ,what race ,are relevant\n\nin the middle ages people were shorter.\nin pre biblical times ,graves have been found of people all over 2 meters.\nif you live amongst Pygmies the average height is 1.20 meters,with the Masai its 2.20 meters.\nwith Mexicans its 5.20 but there are a lot of very tall ones now.\nthis is a ridiculous inadequate question .\naverage for whom.from which country comes this question ,you don't give any information about anything.\nhow can you expect any one to answer this with any meaning.\nin north Portugal the average height is 1.60meters ,with the bushman its 1,4 meters.\n\nthe average height world wide is maybe something like 1.5 but it is a meaningless figure because there are so many races ,and you fail to mention for what race.or for men or for women\n\nand any one who thinks they can answer this is not very intelligent or is an imperialistic racist who thinks that yahoo is only for white Americans ,as most of you do

No that is just a myth, your height is determined by your DNA (genetic make up). If your going to be tall then your going to be tall, if your going to be short then your going to be short. Saying that smoking will stunt your growth is like saying smoking will change your hair color.....uuuhhhh NO not gonna happen thank you Bye Bye.

I'm not tall myself but since I learned to walk upright, I felt inches taller.  If you have confidence, you won't feel dwarfed by someone much taller than you.  Actually a lot of the tall people have the problem of feeling self conscious because of their height.

A lot of it is nutrition.  Their diet is highly based on rice and grains, and thet does not allow for a people to reach tehir full genetic potential.  \n\nLook at the historic rates for height and you will see that in all countried there has been a trend towards taller.  Look in your history books for the average height of a  male in the US.  You'd be surprised.\n\nWait a few generations and the Asians who have adapted their diets will be just as tall as the other races.

There are lots of reasons why you may not be tall.  It may be you aren't getting a good diet, you may have a growth hormone deficiency or maybe you just have short genes.\n\nIf this is a major concern for you, go talk to your doctor.  There could be a reason you're not as tall as you think you should be.  \n\nBut one word of advice....skip all the miracle pills.

too short is shorter than I am. I am only 5 feet tall (exactly). it is kinda wierd to talk to guys who are shorter because I am so used to talking to taller people. it is wierd to look down instead of up.\nmy husband is only 5'9" or so. so he isn't too tall. but I like that!

Periods have nothing to do with height. What does it matter? Midgets have periods, too.

There is no perfect height...you're all built differently
