I'm a guy and 5'2. I've always been kind of self-conscious about it, but I've gotten particularly worried about it lately. It's embarrassing to be the same height or shorter than middle school kids, and even shorter than my mom. It makes me feel unmanly.

What makes it worse is that people try to tell me that height doesn't matter, ignoring the numerous studies that show tall people are considered more attractive and make more money.

I genuinely don't know how I ended up so short. My mom is 5'5, my dad is 5'8, my maternal grandfather and his brother and dad were 5'11, and my paternal uncle and grandfather are 5'8. I know I was never going to be 6 feet, but I thought I would at least be taller than 5'2.

Can early puberty affect height? Can it prevent a child from reaching their height potential?

My mom is 5'5 and my dad is 5'8, my maternal grandfather was 5'11, and so were his brother and dad, and my paternal uncle and grandfather are 5'8. According to the mid-parental target height, I should be 5'9, but I ended up 5'2, and my sister is 5'1.

How did I end up shorter than almost everyone in my family?

Maybe it's because I didn't grow up with the game, maybe it's just my Xbox controller, but this game's camera is a pain. I keep having to fiddle with it every time I move.

I visited the Milkman's grave and got the sniper, but the G-men still grab me when I try to go into the sewer. What am I doing wrong?

How close are you to your siblings in height? I'm 5'2, and my sister is 5'1.

Since height and shoe size are closely linked, what's your shoe size? I'm 5'2 and wear a size 8 1/2.

How accurate is the Mid-Parental Target Height for predicting a child's height? My mom is 5'5 and my dad is 5'8, so my target height should be 5'9, with a range of 5'5-6'0. I ended up 5'2.

I've read several posts on other subs that women who dated short guys felt like they were insecure about their height, or had negative personalities.

Gee, maybe short guys wouldn't make height their whole personalities if society didn't put so much emphasis on height. It just feels like victim blaming to me.

Is there such a thing as being too old to learn to juggle? I'm in my 30s, and I'm worried it's too late for me to learn, because your reflexes decline as you age.

I'm still trying to master juggling one ball, and now I can throw with my dominant hand (my left hand) well 9 times out of 10, but I just can't throw with my non-dominant hand. It keeps coming at me.

How do I fix this?
