Why do you think you are short? Are you below average height in your country?

Short and stocky from genetics. My great grandfather was 5'3 and built airplanes.

Genetics as the more important factor. I have very short parents. Nutrition in a second background probably i could be 5cm taller with a better nutrition but i really dont know

'Bad luck' in my case, I'm not too unhappy with my genetics though . Besides the fact that my height should be around 190 based on my parents' and relatives height.
My mother is 178 and my dad is 188-190.

Genetics and a vitamin D deficiency when I was a kid. Interestingly, I broke my left leg when I was little and it grew more than my right leg, so my morning height is 5' 10.1" on my left leg

Honestly, I don't feel short when I'm by myself indoors and out, but the world thinks I'm short, and it does get kind of annoying in bars or city streets.

It's normal, my left leg is 1-2CM shorter than the right one.

As a boy I was always exceptionally tall. I'm thinking it was some kind of hormonal curse from hell that a demon chose to maledict me with.

Oddly enough I was the largest newborn in the hospital that day. Came out at 9 lbs 4 oz. Who knew I'd end up being among the shortest lol

Size of the newborn and their final height have almost no correlation.

Example: Charles (Tom Thumb) Stratton was 9lbs 8oz when he was born, but he only grew to a final height of 3'6. Although that was caused by GHD. Jack Earle, an American silent film actor was less than 4lbs when he was born and ended up at over 7'7.

173cm (5'8") tall at the moment, hoping to be at least 180cm (5'11") tall quite soon (or 6'1" at most).   Saving money for my first LL surgery!

Dad's 5'2.
Mom's 5'3.
Brother's 5'6.
I'm 5'5.

Genetics. It might also be because I worked out when I was in high school and didn't get enough sleep, because of Starcraft and CounterStrike and homework. Goddamn online games ruined my life.
