So my friend is having a part on July 31st. He is going to start doing Halloween in July because he is always out of town on buisness in October. This way him and his wife get to enjoy the holdays.. blah blah lol 

To my question... What would be a good costume for a shorter man? I want something fun and creative. Mind you, it will likely be like 70-80 something outside. Nothing too hot! haha

 It hasn't been long and this wasn't planned but since my ex moved and when we recently spoke, she didn't plan on coming back, I said yes to going out with a friend's girlfriend's friend. She is cute. Brown hair, hazel eyes, about 5'1. She works out but isn't a fitness freak. Nice body, fit but curvy with fat in the right places if you know what I mean.. haha 

Anyways, we are going to keep it casual. We spoke on the phone and will catch a movie and some dinner after. This way we have something to talk about while eating if all else fails. 

The only thing I am worried about is that she is not only friends with her ex, but he is a complete gym rat. The dude is over 6' and has to weight like 210 but all muscle. I don't want to be a let down. We never met but have talked on the phone. She knows I am not tall or buff but still, she hasn't seen me. I am worried. I don't want this worry to ruin the night. Any advice?

So he ordered some supplements that claim they increase height. I am not sure what he was thinking. He was taking them and got sick so asked for a refund. He got his refund but they never took him off the auto billing. He was billed for 4 more bottles and they weren't cheap. He had no idea they were doing this because he has been out of town for a month. He came back to see his bank account was missing over $300. He tried calling them and the number is fake and the site has vanished. So I am posting this as a warning... READ ALL FINE PRINT when it comes to supplments. 

Not short, but heard about this place and want to wish you guys luck. The site is nicely designed and laid out. All the best. I'll check in from time to time.

I wont say which store I was in, but I felt like everyone was laughing at me. I went in to buy shoes and I had to ask someone to get a few pairs down. There were like say 4 or so teens working there and they kept giggling. As I was checking out I heard one of them crack a smurf joke because my shirt was that same blue color. I was tempted to say something but bit my tongue. Should I call the store and report it? I am tempted. I am still pissed. I almost want to return to shoes and tell the whole store to go stick it.

Long story short, he was a stocker and driver. They said they let him go because of cut backs back in March, well today he went up there to drop of his friends keys (he left them at his house last night) and they had 3 new people there, all much taller than him. We both believe he was let go because of his height. Almost everyone (aside from a manager and a few women) that work there are over 5'10. Thoughts?

I read that today's pop music is actually ruining our brains! Things that you hear most on the radion I mean. Pop sounds WAY different then it did just 10 years ago. Now a days, even rap artists used pop music. I don't listen to much music anymore and I am glad I don't now haha

I really wasn't sure which section to post this under but went with "Heightism" section. At this point I am feeling inadequate, strongly desire to be taller and almost giving up.

Up until recently I was more accepting of my height, but yesterday I was at college and this guy picked on me because I am small. Not to say I'm not the only one he picks on, he has been in trouble with teachers before because of his bad behavior. He did this thing on me called "nipple cripple" which means suddenly grabbing someone by the nipples and twisting them. He missed my nipple but left quite a big bruise and it hurt for hours. This guy must be about 5'10" or 11" (a good six inches taller than myself) and I told him if he did it again I would punch him in the face. He responded by saying if I did that he would hit me back 10 times harder. We squared up to each other but it didn't erupt into a fight and he told me to "come back when I'd grown taller". What made me even more angry was the fact that he did what he did because he thought he could get away with it, because I am the smallest kid. He also did it to another guy who is about my size but he took it as banter and was even one of the people laughing at my reaction and saying that I would have lost the fight. After this incident my pride was hurt badly and I strongly wish I was bigger and taller so I could stand up for myself. I knew deep down I would lose the fight. 

I just want to ask for anyone's advice, how do I deal with a situation like this??? I am kind of a "late bloomer" which might mean I will gain a bit more height before I'm 21, but clearly I'm never going to get near average height. I was extremely short at 15 because I was 4'9 and now I'm not so short but still very short at 5'4.25 at age 18. I might reach 5'6 or 7" at the very most. The fact that I look so much younger than I am also makes me a target for bullies like this.

I know people are going to say to walk away from a situation like this, but it's physical abuse and I don't see why I can't give it back. When in pain it triggers a 'fight or flight' response and because I am out of immediate danger chance are I will lash out next time around.
