I've been suffering from depression over my height for 10 years now. It was in 2009 when I first had my x-tray and discovered that I was gonna end up short and there's nothing I could do at that point.

All these years, though, all I knew was that I had problems with my height but I never realized that my problem with height consists of 3 different problems but are all intertwined:

1. The fact that my short height was caused by negligence and stupidity of my parents and myself instead of genetic factor. Had I not suffered from years of extreme sleep deprivation and depression for the sake of school, I might have been tall.

2. The fact that my father and sisters are all tall, yet I'm significantly shorter than my own father and barely taller than my sisters is something extraordinary or a rare phenomenon.

3. The short height itself.

In other words, the burden that I bear because of my height is actually 3 times heavier than that of other normal short dudes.

Leg Lengthening could still help with the problem #2 and #3 to some extent but it doesn't change anything to the problem #1.

So you are especial now?
Everyone here has a reason they didn't want to be short:
-Short parents
-Carelessness of parents in theirs children's height (good nutrition, promote sports)
-They realized later on the impact that this topic would have on their lives
-Genetics
-Diseases
Add that some wanted to stand out in some sport and height prevented them, or live somewhere where the average is above theirs height and can not be taken seriously by the girls or anyone (I meant it for mens mostly)
Then you come here to understate "normal short dude's" reasons...
You are a troll or a child who wants to blame everyone and fell unique
I'm giving you this atention because I (as everybody here) share this fkng feeling and want to help us and the others
So, stop complaining about the problem and focus on how to solve it, even if it takes 10 years to

If it was because of short parents/genetics/diseases, there would be nothing to regret. Because you couldn't have prevented it (you can't choose your parents). However, in my case, I could have been more open minded and bold in taking action. I could have saved myself a lot of unnecessary trouble stems from my stunted height.

If you think ending up 5'6 when you're supposed to be 5'10"++ is a spilled milk.

What makes you think you were supposed to be 5’10. You cant go off by your siblings height. You guys dont have the same genes.

Quit complaining, your not anymore special than any other short guy on here.

Hey Bruce,

I also have tall siblings and yea it sucks when your the much shorter one. I do belive me being short was down me not taking taking right nutrients as a kid. I think I would have been maybe few inches taller. Maybe.

However, what is done is done. I can't go back in time and any thought like that is negative and just uses up your brain. Better to focus on a solution.  LL and sorting out your posture you can get alot of cm back.

Last thing , please  don't let your current height hold you back from achieving your goals.

Hi Bruce

I understand your frustration and some sort of resentment especially against your parents.  My old brother was like you and he didn't change a bit even after our parents passed away.  He wasted his life on complaining our parents, especially father not only about height but about pretty much everything.  On the contrary, I didn't complain my parents.  They also suffered from their own problems, poverty, poor education, and so on.  It is no use complaining parents.  So I tried to understand them and never really complaint.  I have worked hard and achieved some success in my career and finally got my CLL done.  It took me long long long time to fix problems, achieve my career goal, and overcome my shortcomings including height.  I am quite old now but very happy with CLL done, although I may not be able to enjoy this new height for a long time.  Anyhow, don't let your destiny rule over yourself.  Make your destiny with your will and hard work!

Good luck!
