Height Problem!

[Huck553]

I'm concerned about my height, I'm 16 asian male, Singaporean. 44kg but I'm only 153cm! I'm the shortest in class, it really decreases my confidence and girls seem to like taller guys, been rejected by a girl before :(

Due to my height*

Your BMI is still acceptable though:) You could drink milk twice a day and eat cheese. Really.

Don't worry about it. Are any of your parents short? If so it might just be genes from them. It wont effect your education or jobs. Otherwise you might just be a late starter, meaning you will grow at a later age.

I'm the shortest guy in my class. I don't like it but there's nothing that can be done about it. It's not like you're a dwarf or midget. Think about how that must be for them and consider yourself lucky that you have a normal body.

You're probably a late bloomer. Don't worry about it. You'll mostly get a growth spurt soon. Girls have the tendency to like taller guys, but I think your lack of confidence is what makes girls reject you. The fact that you worry about being rejected once shows that you may have to work on your confidence and being more secure about yourself. It's all about the personality!
