Dear reader,
First of all, I hope you grow taller soon and then you won’t need advice.
Second, I suggest you talk to the people around you about how you feel. I hope they’ll change the way they treat you after you talk to them.
Take care

Dear reader,
I’ve never been in your situation, so I can’t judge.
But maybe because you’re short you feel like people treat you like a little girl, and it’s not really like that. Sometimes people feel things not because they’re true, but because that’s how they see themselves.
I hope I helped.

I have a friend in my class who is very short, and he’s still the smartest kid in the class. He has lots of friends and he’s the most popular kid in class. Nobody thinks he’s a baby or childish, because he doesn’t act that way.
The funniest thing is that he jokes about being short all the time. (For example: “I need a stool to reach the sink…”) I don’t think there’s a connection between people thinking you’re a little girl and you being short.

Be strong!
Be mature!
If you act that way, people will treat you like a big girl!

Why not tell people who talk to you that you’re not a little girl? Tell them you have a growth condition and tell them your real age. That could solve your problem easily.
Good luck!!!

Dear reader,
Your whole problem sounds really hard – not growing, and all the injections you got. I wish you the best of health!
Changing people is very hard. You can also understand why they talk that way: people don’t know the age of everyone they see, they guess from how big and tall a person is, so it really is confusing. You can tell people your real age if you want, and you can also understand that this is how things are and accept it.
Anyway, if you act like a mature young woman and dress in a teen style, things might change. And as you grow up, your face will look more grown-up too, and people will be able to tell that you’re actually older.
Lots and lots of luck!
