I'm five feet exactly, one of the shortest people in my class, and this is after my growth spurt. I started high school as four feet and nine inches, and in fifth grade I was four feet and six inches. Don't get me wrong, I love being short. There are perks such as the endless wedges I can buy and never be taller than a date, and being insanely good at limbo. But there are also many things I've heard/seen done that many other shorties will probably agree that they could go the rest of their life without.
1. "How's the weather down there?"
If it's true that jokes get funnier every time they're told, then I should have a major six pack by now. I cannot tell you how many times this has been asked in my life, and I promise you, it wasn’t funny the first time, it’s not funny the 500th time either.
2. Being used as an arm rest.
I do not want your arm on my head because that means your armpit is also right next to my head and not everyone has good hygiene. Seriously biggest pet peeve people, stop.
3. Constantly being asked if I am too young to be driving.
No ma'am, I did not steal my parents’ keys to go to chickfila after school. Yes ma'am, you can see my license, I have nothing to hide. Thank you ma'am for my chicken nuggets and your look of pure embarrassment when you saw that I was 17.
4. Clothes never fitting the right way.
When I was 12 years old I fit into things 7 year olds would wear, and my preteen self would have nothing to do with that. When I finally found something that fit my awkward size torso and legs that met my style standards you can bet I wore the outfit any chance I could. Now that I have grown a bit I don't face this problem much, but don't be surprised if you ever see me in the children's department looking at dresses.
5. "Do you ever wonder what it would be like to be normal sized?"
Yes, all the time. I spend every waking moment of my existence wondering what it would be like to be "normal sized". No, I spend my thoughts on what is important, like how I can convince my father to let me have a pug or what I'm going to eat for dinner.
6. Which brings me to my next point: "You're not short, you're fun sized!"
No, I am short. I am not a candy bar, I'm just short.
7. Not being able to reach anything.
Let me tell you, it's a pain in the butt when I want to make some food but I can't reach the cooking spray on the top shelf and no one else is home. On the plus side, my climbing skills are on point.
8. "Your feet are so small! Like I bet your shoe can fit inside my shoe, let's try it!"
Yes, short people do usually have smaller feet, we like to be consistent with the whole small theme. No I would not like my shoe inside your probably smelly shoe, thank you for the offer though.
9. Always having to speed walk while walking with your longer-legged friends
I basically get a work out while walking with my friends because my three steps equals their one. Curse these small legs. 
10. People squatting to eye level to talk to me.
Alright people, I'm five feet tall, not two feet tall. There's no reason to squat to talk to me unless you've got a serious hearing problem. Please refrain and just tilt your head down, thanks.
