  If you "look short" for a 5'10 person after putting on lifts (and you are 5' than it means 2 things.

1) you are a troll

2) you are skinny as

I do not understand what you are saying. I am 5’8 not 5’😂. I am not a troll. I did not sign up for nothing. I am assuming you are here to make people feel bad about themselves. If you are going to be a worthless pcs of shxt then plz leave. you have no idea what I am going through with my height.

Quote from: Blue Lunar on January 20, 2018, 04:27:13 PM5’7 (170cm) is a “yeah sort of ok” height but I have seen a lot of people before who were 5’7 and wanted to be taller. Tom Cruise is 170 cm and it is funny because everywhere I go, I just see websites talking about how short he is. And then I look at Mark Wahlbergh who is 5’8 (173 cm) .... oh look, my height. And there are websites talking about how he is short. And guess what I am about to say now. I LOOKED UP 5’9 CELEBRITIES AND THERE ARE NO WEBSITES OF THEM BEING SHORT. Everybody under 5’9 is considered short. It is pretty funny. If I was just an inch taller I would be out of that zone. To get a picture of what I am talking about watch this: https://m.  <<<< you saw that right? Not a single person that is 5’9 is listed up there. I really would have been happy at 175 or 177cm (5’9-5’10).

How height feels is relative to where you live.

You live in a tall country (US, I'm assuming; lots of taller Germanic-background guys) so 5'8 is short to you, but it is not for most of the world's population (because of Asia, North Africa, the Middle East and Latin America). I know this doesn't help much, but it helps a bit to put things into perspective.

5.8 is relatively short in west.
Not short but average-short. Still, feeling so bad about your height while you think that with 5.9 everything would be ok it is stupid.
I am 5.85 (evening height) after LL and still have problems with my height but nothing like you and of course I don't think that with 1 inch more my life would be different.
I want to be 5.11 to feel ok so I want about 3 iches and thats why I want to do another LL.

So stop moaning and just do one LL for 2 inches and continue your life happily. 2 inches in tibias are easy, cheap and safe.
So continue your life normally until then and when you have the money and time do it. But your height is not that bad to feel like that with yourself. You probably need to go to a psychiatrist as you may suffer from depression and LL may not help you.

Your height has taken over your life. Right. Consider the examples of people like Unicorn or Musicmaker. In their cases LL took over their lives. You should help them.

I do not care what you think think or how you feel. You are you and I am me. I feel that if I am 5’9 then I will live a happy life. 5’10 would make me even happier. I photoshopped myself being 5’9 and I started crying. I have never seen myself like that before. I understood what it felt like to be a tall teen. 5’8 is short in so many ways. 1 inch could have changed that believe it or not. I walk past people that are 5’9 and I would get my bones sawed in half to kill to be that tall.

I do not know who these people are and they do not concern me. I am worried about myself. I came here just to get a little bit of support because I cannot take this any longer. 24/7 my height is building me depression and as I said I tried commiting suicide 6 times. I need something to be done about my height urgently. I do not car if Ll kills me, if it gives me tumors, if it gives me a heart attack. I would take a potion that would reduce my life by 20 years just to gain an inch in height.

Are you retarded? How can you say they don't concern you? Search about them in the forum. They had LL because they thought they could fix their height dysphoria, just like you, but got complications and lost many years of their lives, and many other things. They're full of remorse. You can find more bad cases in old forum. LL can make things better... or much worse.

5.8 is relatively short. So is 5.9.
Thats why I believe that you have nental issues. Not because you don't feel ok with 5.8 but because you think that becoming 5.9 is a big difference.
I am 5.9 and I don't have any real difference compared to 5.8 people I know. Both we are relatively average to a little short.
And the same happens with 5.10 which is average but the difference with 5.9 is not big.
The real difference is above 5.11.

5.8 is an ok height not good but not catastrophic either. 5.9 is better but still not good.
Crying and moaning for a relatively average height which can easily change with one LL is stupid and means you have mental problems.

However you are still a kid so I don't expect anything more serious from a teenager.
Focus on your school now and when you have time a money get a tibia LL for 2 inches and I hope you'll feel ok. Nothing more can be done now.

5-8 is absolutely not short

Wholeheartedly agree with Body Builder.

It's strange that you're beyond devastated at 5'8" but think that an inch or two will turn your life completely around. At that amount with your starting height, not many will even notice. I believe you have unrealistic expectations and inflated views of how much height is actually impacting your life.

If you've attempted suicide six times, this is not something you should take lightly. It's not a badge of honor, it's a cry for help. You're obviously deeply troubled and have body dysmorphic disorder. You need therapy and medication before even considering anything cosmetic.

So far you've deflected every suggestion, so I wonder why even start a thread if you already know everything. Ignorance combined with social empowerment is quite the concoction, I remember being a teenager too. But you came to us, not the other way around. We're here to offer advice and support, not to just agree and say you're right.

And to say that other people's diaries have nothing to do with you is just silly. CLL is no joke, you've got a lot of reading up to do. The notion that you think 2 inches across tibias and femurs is a good idea was already a red flag. This is a community, so if you're not interested in others, you're free to lurk until you're ready to have an actual conversation. You'll still get all the information you need in these forums if you're serious enough and take the time.

Probably one ear and out the other, but trust me when I say that it gets better as you get older. Teenage years suck because teenagers are ruthless. It gets better in college as people are less judgmental, even better once in the workforce. There's no magic potion, so relax, take your time, and get some professional help.
