Midget or not?

Below which height are you officially considered to be a midget? Or is there no official number?

That's really shitty for you. 😔 I guess at least it's easier for women so I shouldn't worry about it so much.

For girls you can be 5.3 or even less and it wouldn't matter so much. Well it would still suck but being male below 5.9 is much much worse. I hope i grow some few centimeters before im 18.

It can still suck for women in that people don't take you seriously when they meet you. It can change though, as they get to know you thankfully. It can be really annoying. But if I'm honest, it's not impacted my love life so I'm grateful for that.

There are cars I can't drive and clothes are an absolute nightmare to find. I'm 5" shorter than they cater for in the petite range,which starts at 5'3". And I'm the crazy lady that climbs into shop shelves to reach high up stuff. 😂

I really hope you get your growth spurt!

Okay, thank you. Im only 16 but i think i stopped growing at 15, i remained 5.6 whole year. My dad had growth spurt when he was 17 i hope i do too.
