Yo

I’m 5’5 at 17 and have been short for my age throughout my entire life. Obvs this has led to some jokes from as far back in school as I can remember, and bullying from a couple years ago. People in my year, my friends, from my form, or just randoms would make fun of my height. Eventually people stopped caring, but there’d still be the odd loser who’d still think it’s hilarious, plus ofc my friends never stopped w the jokes. I finished secondary school a bit over a month ago now, and I’d thought to myself that majority of my friends no longer made fun of my height, which was true, but a few days ago I was reminded that it’s not stopped, as some friends I was with started making fun of my height, and then the height of a dude who’s taller than me. I’m pretty sure if I asked, they’d stop, but I can’t really bring myself to ask, and there’s still a high chance one of them would just make fun of me more. I mean I’m still growing, 5’7-8 is still a possibility, but even then, I wouldn’t be tall, and I’d probably still feel short and worthless like I have for years. If I’m being honest I kind of hate myself, and ig I came here mostly to vent, but also maybe to get advice or smth
