could i be considered a midget?

[shorty76984]

i dont kno whether or not i could b considered a midget...i mean i dont have the weird looking arms or fingers or anythign but im not exactly average height either...im only 13 so everyone says that im still going to grow but i have to have this plastic surgery thing on my bones and i got x rays the other day for like my whole body and the doctor had said that i might have to wait until i was like 18 because the growth plates wouldnt be closed enough to work with the bones but my growth plates have already closed so i guess ive stopped growing newayz im 4'9''...would this be considered a midget?

Midget

No you wouldn't be considered a midget, not when you're 4'9" at 13 years old! If you were that height at 20 you'd be short for a guy, but midgets are like 3 foot tall. You're bound to grow throughout the next 7 years or so. Think I was shorter than you when I was 13 and I'm 6'1" now.

I do wonder why you're posting this on an anabolics message board though....?

I mean it's a well known fact that working out at an early age stunts your growth, hope your not working out at 13.

My 26 year old gf is 4'10" She's a little hotty tho.

One of my best friends is about 5'4" and I like to call him things like 3 feet, shrimpy, too short, tree stump, stumpy. Especially when were drunk. Good times.

At 13? Short, but not a midget. Wrong place to ask though.

You'll grow.

If you are 13 why are on this board?

This is a joke..

HGH may be an option if you ask your doc

I was 5'3" in 8th grade, now I'm 5'8" at 39. I've known people to grow 6 inches in college.

I went from 5'6" in 9th grade to 5'11" now (I'm 24). Late life growth is possible, but not highly likely. And at 13 dont even worry. My sis is 17 and a whopping 4'10", and I always call her midget, shorty, or I use her head/shoulders as an arm rest. Good times .
