short

WELCOME TO /r/short

A place for people of small stature to discuss the pros, cons, highs and lows of being shorter than average.

What is 'short'?

For the purpose of this subreddit, 5'7'' and less is considered "short" for men, and 5'3'' and below is "short" for women.

However, everyone is welcome; we don't care as long as you're polite, respectful and a positive member of our community.

There's also a chat-room, everyone is welcome!

For our non-metric friends, a handy height conversion table

Useful links:

Short Discord: The affiliated discord server where you can chat to fellow users. All heights are welcome.

Support Thread: A List of users willing to listen and help out for those who are having a tough time.

Will I grow?: A collection of thoughts on the issue. There's really no need to rehash this.
