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.

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.

I 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?

I cannot drown myself.

Why not?

I 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''.

[tallertree]

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

[6feet2isTooShort]

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.

[TallerDream]

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.

Again a reddit/4chan fag ...
average is better than 7ft for a girl

[InFullStryde]

5'8" is normal height isn't it? 

[ramaka]

This is why something like Limb lengthening is good paley himself said ppl in the past have committed suicide in the past because of their heights not saying I’d go that far but it does happen and I know what it’s like looking up at taller people my brothers are all 6’3-6’5 lol so it can be annoying but advantage of LL is that it’s there and can help us all out.

But seriously bro try to work and save for LL devote yourself to it and if you still feel the need for LL then you’ve got the money on the side for it.

Now when you talk about sports and all that unless if you said you’d wanted to be a professional NBA player then I’d understand you losing interest.

The average male celebrity worldwide with all their millions is a height of 5’9 literary 1 inch taller then you and the majority of them are wrong about their heights and believe they’re actually that height when in reality their like 5’7-5’8 so height doesn’t generate success have you ever heard of peter Dinklage if not look up his net worth plus his height, now if he wanted to commit suicide then I’d understand, I still wouldn’t agree with it but I’d understood. But at the end of the day like you I’d love to be taller but I’m not suicidal about it I’m gonna work hard to get money and then do LL, although who knows maybe I’ll not want to do LL then.

[YellowSpike]

5'8" is actually totally fine for a guy if you have other things going for you. Unfortunately, with online dating, it might still not be that great (women will use height as their first filter simply because they can), but you can still get by.

If only we had a way to filter women online by BMI or pound by pound. No women over 120lbs/certain BMI! lol

[TallerDream]

5’8/5’9 that mediocre height when you only get to be a bit taller than the elders and tower over the grandmas lol

[YellowSpike]

5’8/5’9 that mediocre height when you only get to be a bit taller than the elders and tower over the grandmas lol

5'8/5'9 is mediocre...but not a totally bad situation. This is a height where you CAN compensate with other things (good body, good looks, career success, etc.). Every inch below 5'7" it gets exponentially harder (although not impossible) to compensate.

[6feet2isTooShort]

Again a reddit/4chan fag ...

And you ad hominemed at me instead of presenting facts. Classy.

Sounds like someone is upset at harsh truth.

Hey let me tell you something. I played football in middle school where I was not obsessed with height back then. I was the best player on my team every single year. I put in a lot of hard work and dedication to be that good. I wanted to play NFL because I fking loved it. And I don’t know if you know a single damn thing about football because the “roid boys” get banned. They are overpaid to maintain such a body that is both fast and strong at the same time and they do it naturally. There is nothing wrong with idolizing football players. The famous nfl players today are famous because they idolized other football players before them. Overall, your post makes me sick. I am really concerned about you if you think nfl players need roids. Maybe learn a thing or two before posting? Thanks.

Because drowning is painful and jumping off a building is scary. Shooting yourself with a gun is the fastest and most painless way. Oh and I am assuming you don’t know what failing to commit suicide means. It means not succeeding in commiting suicide. If you still do not understand let me know I can try to explain it with easier vocabulary.

I am over here mad because of the fact that when I walk a lot of the people are taller then me. And you are over here telling me to move to a taller country? The problem is both in my head and OF COURSE my height mostly. You came here to this website knowing that short people are effected mentally because of their height.

I would have understood you if you were something like my previous height wich was 160cm. With that height you would be shorter than majority of woman in a tall country. However, you are telling me that you are 170cm and thus you are taller than most woman. Because of that simple fact you can live a completely normal life by just working a little bit on your self esteem.

If you want to do LL then go ahead, with one surgery you could reach almost 180cm wich would make you a tall man, if that is so important to you.

Yes I know the average height is 5’9 and ik a bunch who bs their height. There is this kid shorter then me that says he is 5’10 and I feel like punching the guy hard. But my real problem is that NFL players are on average 6’3, and no they dont bs heights their in the nfl. Now you do the math. Thats 7 inches right? One inch in difference makes 5-10 pounds of difference. Not joking. Now if someone like nfl players are taller then me like that, 7 inches= 35 to 70 pounds weight difference. For arguments sake let me just say that not all nfl players are 6’3 but a majority, almost everyone playing there, is 6 feet and up. It’s rare to find shorter people. I am at a disadvantage and that is what I am trying to explain man. If I was 6 feet, I knew I would have the potential to run fast since I got long legs and be heavy and strong. Not some short stocky guy with short legs who can’t run and jump.

Thanks man and sorry for my attitude. But the problem is not woman. The problem is the fact that I am capable of so little things. If I was tall oh boy. Maybe I could not make it to the NFL but I would still lift and have a nice tall aesthetic body unlike some guy that is 5’6 and looks like a short stocky hippo.

Well, honestly it seems like your self esteem is the main problem here. I have many friends around your height and they are doing just fine in all kinds of fields, such as sports for example. The first thing you need to realize asap is that you are not very short, you are simply normal short. In your case LL should be a long term plan meaning that you should live life normally right now and when you have the money for an LL you can do it. No need to rush things.

Ah right I get it obviously being from the U.K. we don’t watch a lot of NFL here because our main sport is football (soccer) when you mentioned the whole weight issue then I could understand where you were coming from on the whole I can’t play and I understand you’d be naturally overpowered because of the height issue sorry but like I said I’m not against you doing LL because it’d make me a hypocrite wanting LL myself I’m against the hurting yourself physically it’ll get you no where bro it really won’t but if you do go for LL go safe with at most 10 cm 5 cm over both femurs and tibia you’ll then be 5’11 and hopefully happier trust me bro i myself wanted to do the 4 inch growth to be close to looking people in the eyes and I know how annoying it is to look up at people

[InFullStryde]

If it makes you feel any better...

I'm 36, 5' and 0.75 inches tall.  (not quite 5'1)

I started a company when I was 26 and 10 years later it's pretty grown and my salary is over $200,000 per year.

I have dated and have had relationships with very pretty, smart, just plain out good looking and wonderful woman.  This still continues and in fact, my quantity of attractive woman that I attract continues to go up as I become more and more refined and intelligent about how to approach people in general. 

I work out 5 days a week and I have all my clothes tailored.     Height has been one of those things about myself that I would think "darn, would be nice to be taller", HOWEVER, height has not prevented me from doing anything.  Okay...yes, it prevented my professional sports career, but I can live with that.

My business continues to thrive because the client is listening to what I say about our services and product line.  I am confident in what I say because I believe in what I'm talking about.  Hence, my height has nothing to do with whether or not I bring value to others.  That's business... bringing value to others and it has nothing to do with height. 

Point of all this is that your height doesn't define your worth and neither does another person.   With nearly 7 Billion people on this planet, there are millions of woman and men that are more than happy to give you a shot. Just show them what you're worth. You have too much going for, including your height.  Perspective is everything.

You can do it, man. 

[taller_in_Kiev]

Dude, you need to get a grip on life. I could understand if you were 5'1 or 5'2, but at 5'8 you're taller than Tom Cruise and the same as Mark Wahlberg, two of the most successful men on Earth. I bet they never thought of drowning/jumping off a building when they were your age.

(thanks to Valiant for this)

Actually you're the same height as the most powerful man in the world: Vladimir Putin (Trump being just another puppet in my opinion)

With shoes, you're touching 5'10.  Maybe your Creator has bigger and better things in store for you than the NFL. Obviously you're a very talented guy.

And if re-incarnation is true, who knows if your soul/consciousness will return in an ever shorter body - if you topped yourself?  Apparently we all came to this place to learn something, and we all chose the circumstances exactly.  Maybe you were a really tall fella in a previous life?

@TheW, I am glad you posted on here. I was actually going to mention you in my previous post.  You are a role model, a hero and obviously a very advanced soul!  It's all in the mind and perception really IS everything. Well done to you again pal.

5'8" sucks in the west but it's really not suicide tier in any sense.

[YourSpaceBoyfriend]

Y'all are weak fukz

It's worrying the amount of people close enough to average height thinking about suicide (you're certainly not the first, OP).

Young and naive if you think every top athlete in every sport isn't on something. Lol at the idea that someone can be natural and compete at the top, when there's millions of dollars at stake. Of course the careless roid boys who get caught up will get banned and humiliated to the public to idiots like you to keep the facade that the sport is clean. But I won't continue to burst your delicate bubble.
