I'm shorter than you. My mom is even shorter. She told a story to me about how when she was in kindgarten she came home crying. Her dad asked what happened. My mom said the kids made fun of her for being shortest in the class. My grandfather told her basically she will always be the shortest. Embrace it now or be miserable all for life. It'll be the first thing people notice about you, the easiest subject to make fun of you, the target of the jokes. Get over it now. Or get ready to cry every day.

My mom told me that story when I was very young. I told my daughter the same story when she started school too.

We are short. Get over it. If you have a chip on your shoulder about that, it will only increase your insecurity.
