| In school , or in the streets , no one takes me seriously because i am short , everyone makes fun of me for looking like a girl... i am tiny short and have long hair ... I tell them to stop, they laugh , and keep on making fun ,how can i make them take me seriously .. ? please |
Your attitude.
My team leader in college is a girl 2 years elder to me. She is 4'6" due to some disorder. I've never seen anyone being respected as much as she is. She has a different style and poise to everything.
I'm sure the way you react to them is what would change things. |
| I react very seriously , and get angry , but they would just laugh .... |
| It's simple |
I react very seriously , and get angry ,
That is the exact reason they would just laugh. Be cool. You have to convince yourself first, how much taller you are or how much facial hair you have does not defines you as a person.
Well long hair is a choice right? If you like it that way why give a damn what people think?
You look like a girl you say. I'm a very hairy guy :P
I had beard when I was 14. Now I'm 20 and I have to trim in every 3-4 days. People point it out to me, dude you got hair like grizzly bear. What I say? It's manliness kiddos :P
The point is if you look like a girl(your words) or be all manly(grizzly bear) with beard and chest hair, people wanna make fun of you. Correct way to deal with them is to take it in a healthy manner and return the favor :D |
| It's not really... it is frustrating ... |
We kill the BAtman :P
JUst kidding^^ :P
how can i make them take me seriously .. ?
Wrong question.. do not see why you want to be taken seriously
I think you wanna be a reporter ( as from profile of alexanderthelit).. so just have to do some massive expose and they will be forced to pay attenton
I wanna (will be) a scientist..
Doesnt matter to me now how much seriousness they show, Just concentrate on what you wanna do
Dont forget:
Make it Big, Do it right, GIve it class |
The key is not to give a damn
I want to use another word, but rules don't allow me to
I know what you mean bro, I had a similar teenage
Short height, soft attitude, always mocked upon
There comes a day when you decide you have had enough, and that day you start respecting yourself and don't give a damn about what others say
That will be the day they would get tired and frustrated and you'll be the cool guy
As drake would say
I stopped givin a damn, played my act cool
Now they watchin, they hatin ;) |
| yes, you are short does not comes in the first 20 things that defines you as a person. Why let it take it's toll? Come on how old and tall are you anyway. Put the facts and let us see if you consider yourself short in comparison to the 6 foot guy.. |
| i am like 1.45 meters or much less , and i weigh 25-30 KG . My hair reaches my shoulders , i am 14.... even the 5th graders are taller than me ... i am in grade 9 |
I had enough troubles with seniors when I was in grade 10
I was barely 5 feet, and the shortest senior was 5'6
Its okay, height dosen matter
You need to have balls to face em off
The day you start giving a damn to what they think and start thinking and working towards what you want to be, you'll be just fine ;) |
It's all right. You will grow more in next 4 yrs. You will have an adequate height. There is no way you will be a dwarf.
Now you can also put efforts into it. Have some healthy food, do some cycling(Helped me grow)
I was only 2 inch taller than you in 9th. Now I'm 5'7''. Not the tallest but ok.
You are about to enter your phase of highest growth. |
| well my height , does not bother me at all , those making fun bother |
Height doesn't matter mate :-) Sachin Tendulkar was one of the shortest guys around and he did decently well, didn't he? :-P His legacy is taller than any contemporary or even former cricketer and that is what matters, doesn't it? :D Don't be embarassed by how you look, be proud of it and own it. I am not saying that a good height doesn't have its advantages because it clearly does. But it does not mean that something is wrong with you if you are short. If you are short heighted but have a good character and a never-so-die attitude, I would say the latter two qualities more than compensate for the first shortcoming :D
I would also encourage you to eat healthy food and do a lot of physical exercise. You are still growing and you can increase your height. Even if it doesn't, outdoor activity and healthy food would keep you in good health :D
Regarding hair, its a personal choice, isn't it? It doesn't really matter but since you are young, I would advise you to keep short hair. Long hair are hard to take care of and sometimes block the light from reaching your eyes :-)
And don't mind the people who make fun of you. Words hurt but since they are just words you can learn to ignore them. If people physically bully you, report to the appropriate authorities and do talk to your parents about all this.
Finally, remember, its not your physical height that matters, its the depth of your character and the strength of your spirit. Mahatma Gandhi was short and frail, yet he is called father or 'Bapu' by 2 billion people. You are made from the stuff stars are made out of dude, don't let such small things get you down :D |
for shubhamgoyal:
thanks man :) |
the best way to deal with this kind of problem is stop talking and reacting to the people who laugh at you, dont help them for a while , just ignore the thit out of them , take a book , read it in the sun just as Lord KD says respect yourself and others will follow , dont lose your confidence just because you are short and have long hair etc , you respect yourself and teh world follows , that is how it has always been , not talking or helping , in short no interaction , gives you time to introspect and others to realise what you meant ;)
Will say it again , Respect yourself and the world will follow |
| Dont know if this helps or not but 3-4 years ago a guy came into my office to do a short (5-10 minute) presentation during our sales meeting to about 40 people. Most of these presentations are forgotten about by the next day. He was one of the shortest adult men I have ever seen. We have our sales meeting in a central area in the office with alot of cubicles. Im 6'3" and couldnt see the guy standing 10 feet away because he was so much shorter than the cubicles. The guy stood up on a chair so we could see him and made a joke about his height and the whole room could hardly breath because they were laughing so hard. He then proceded to stand on his chair and give a highly ENERGETIC and very CONFIDENT presentation about why we should work with him and his company. I was so impressed with this guys presentation that I remember it years later. Yes the guy was insanely short, but he was comfortable with who he was and used his height to his advantage. |

What do you hope to gain by having people take you seriously? |
