When some things don't grow

One of the bitter realities that I should accept is the fact that I will no longer grow tall and be forever a petite. Imagine, I'm now 18 and I only stand 4 ft and 11 inches!

I know this is not so normal to teens reaching this age but what can I do? No height-enhancer supplements had helped me grow a little inch and even if I sleep longer hours, it won't help me grow anymore. Unlike my sister who sleeps longer and is taller than me. This reality is like a slap on my face!

I got this trait from my mom who is a petite woman. I think we have just the same height, 4 feet and 11 inches. Though this is what happened but I didn't blame mom for being a small girl while my sister is a tall girl. It just happened that I was the unlucky person given this short height. Pity I didn't get my father's gene to be a tall person.

I stopped growing when I entered highschool. I remember I got a wall to monitor my height everyday by drawing a line on top of me. During elementary, it was all fine I got progress about my height when it horrifies me by the time I entered highschool. I stuck on the last line! I took height-enhancer supplements everyday to somehow help my body produce growth hormones but then, I lack sleep at times due to stress and school pressures. I did anything I could to be tall but the sad thing was that I gain and gain more weight than keep on growing that's why I concluded that it's hopeless.

I'm a college girl now and I see no improvements at all. When I'm with my classmates, I look like an elementary kid. Most of them are taller and they are leaner in shape. Sometimes I lack self-confidence in front of many people.

Even though I was not blessed with a tall height I just hope that I'll get a job later on. Maybe I was made to be short for me to live forever young. I will not waste my time regretting about height because there are more things to consider than this. I guess I should be contented and be thankful I'm complete.

The petite at your service,
