I turned 17 on April and it has been 2 years since I have been living under misery, depression and extreme torture. At the age of 15 I started becoming self conscious about my height. When I walked down the hallways at school, I would constantly look at everyone else and try to conpare my height to others. At this time, my friends were having their growth spurts. Some friend of mine went from 5’9 to 6’1. My other two friends are 6’1 and the shortest one is 5’11. When I go out to places almost every man is taller then me. At the gym men are taller. At the age of 15 I thought I was stlll a kid and that maybe I could grow if I waited a bit longer. I brushed it off. The thought would never go away from my head. 24/7 I always cared about height. I was only 5’8 which is under average in the US and way shorter then most of the boys that come to my school. I waited for one year and at the age of 16 I seriously started to worry. I looked up on how I could grow taller and I started kicking high 1000 times with each leg every day in the afternoons. In the mornings I would stretch for 45 minuts. In the evening I would do the same. At this point I really could not take it. The matter of height just won’t leave me alone eating me inside out. This is not how I wanted to be but I am forced to be this way. I hate the fact that I have to accept being in a short body for the rest of my life. I cried each night before sleeping. I would pull my hair scream in agony and start smashing walls. I tried committing suicide five times but all if them failed. I cannot drown myself. I cannot jump from a high building. The only option I have is to wait until I am 18, get a gun, and shoot myself on the side of my head. My height stopped me from doing many things. I am obsessed with football and I want to play it. I even wanted to be a pro NFL player when I grew up. I was willing to put in the time and dedication but when I stopped growing at 5’8 my entire life sank. I do not play sports because the football team at our school all has kids that are 6’2. If I was tall I would have done so many things in life that would make me happy. However my short stature ruins it all. There is no place for a short man on this earth. The only advantage that we have is: being useless and inferior. This is my 3rd year that I will be going through this same depression. My life is just not going the way I want it to. I always looked up to my favorite football players and all of them are over 6 feet. This is not fair. I do not want short arms short legs and a short torso. I want these thoughts to leave my head. I wanna stop looking up to people when I talk. I will be committing suicide in a couple of months. I absolutely cannot take it anymore as this is unbearable. Being short is just a disgrace.
I am reaching my limit I can’t take it anymore.
The only thing stopping you from enjoying life is yourself, nobody is stopping you from playing football or doing anything fun because of your height. You got these dreams of playing in the NFL but for what? Are you that good you can even compete on that level? What's the point, you in it for the money or because you love football? If you enjoy the challenge there's plenty of people you can play with your height that might entertain you, but you chose not to go out there and do it. You're going to kill yourself because you idolize a bunch of overpaid roid boys that get too much to play with balls. News flash, they don't know who you are or care what happens to you, have a little respect for yourself.
QuoteI tried committing suicide five times but all if them failed.
How the hell do you "fail" to commit suicide 5 times? How is this even possible?
QuoteI cannot drown myself.
Why not?
QuoteI cannot jump from a high building.
Why not? Everyone can do this. It is easy.
Seriously, "failing suicide" is just a way to get attention. It is so easy to eliminate oneself. Go to highest building, get drunk, jump head first on concrete after slitting wrists...super easy.
You are 5'8''?
You still could growth-hormonemaxxx, limb-lengthenmaxxx and glucosamine-maxx to get somewhere to 5'10''.
I live in one of the tallest countries in the world and with your height you can easily live a normal life here. Your problem is mainly in your head and not your height.
Conclusion: Your height is within the range of "normal"

Sorry, but don't sugar coat this. "Normal" is "unacceptable" in 2018. No woman ever said "Wow, that guy is so AVERAGE I love it!"

You are delusional. Obviously 185cm is better than 170cm, but with that height you are taller than most woman and you will not come across as weird. Its definitely not like Blue Lunar is describing it where he wants to kill himself because "he cant live a normal life".
To Blue Lunar: If you want to do LL then go for it, but my advice is that you work on your self esteem first and then continue with LL.
5-8 is about average for white guys in the US

"Average" is a meme.
"Average" = unacceptable in 2018.
"Wow, this new guy is so AVERAGE, it's so HOT!" - said no girl ever.
Man I’m about the same height as you, 5’9 in the morning, 5’8 in the evening and it sucks..
It’s supposed to be average but I am not happy with it, I feel pretty short at this height and get dwarfed everyday by most young men. I think statistics don’t mean because they acccount for the older population as well.
Think like me, fight like hell to get rich so you can afford the best surgeons to put this whole predicament behind you once and for all.
You can gain 5-6 inches in two surgeries i reckon.
