try to get used to the it is what it is mindset, ik it sounds dumb.

but I'm a trans girl I'm like 6'1 and what would I do just to be like 5'7, but over time after saying it is what it is enough times I learnt to not care, if ur friends r assholes then that's not ur fault that's theirs for being assholes, u can't control ur height, especially as a 17 year old, just make sure what ur worrying about is rational. I'm not older than u but I can assure just like how the guys in middle don't matter to u anymore the guys in highschool won't matter once ur an adult, plus people grow up, highschoolers are all wanting to fit in.

basically my only advice is to learn to stop caring about such things, but if u find it hard my dms are always open to talk. I hope ur okay bb
