I do have suicidal thoughts literally every day. I would be dead right now if I had the means to kill myself about a week ago. Now I'm on antidepressants, but I will always be depressed about my height.
I'm 5 foot and 3.5 inches and I am suicidal. I'm not thinking about killing myself all the time, because it's not even an obstacle anymore. I'm thinking about why I should be here instead.
To cut myself doesn't hurt actually and the road to be free feels like getting weak knees or feeling dizzy, because you haven't eaten enough. All too easy really.
But I found out about Leg-Lengthening, right on time. It has become my only reason why I am still here. It is hope and I want to find out what it feels like to be normal.
Now I'm sitting here, reading about a 16-year-old who thinks about suicide, because he is 5" 8'...
After
two painful and expansive surgeries in a foreign second world county that will even destroy some of my health permanently, I will be one inch shorter than you are right now - and you might grow even taller naturally.
5 foot and 7-8 inches is the point from where you can lead a decent life in almost every part of the world - it has been proven here on the site several times.
It's shorter then average but not too short.
You are only 16 which gives you plenty of time to find out. There is hope, or in your case even certainty that your are and won't bee too short.
