back to the Down to Earth

I am almost the shortest person in my school.  I am about 4'10'' and I'm not really growing that much.  Everyone else got their big growth spurts 2 summers ago.  I'm still waiting for mine.  I don't fit into any of my mom's clothes or shoes, but I do fit into some of my 10-year-old brother's clothes.

Julia, do people ever make fun of you for being short (in a somewhat joking manner)?  Most of my friends make fun of me!!  This one guy is particurlarly mean!!  We were taking a group picture on a school trip, and he told one of my teachers to get me a stool!!!!! Has anything like that ever happened to you?  

P.S.-Even my twin Koffee makes fun of me for being short (or petite, as I call myself).

Well I'm homeschooled, so nobody really makes fun of me, but sometimes people will just be joking around like you said. I kinda like to make fun of myself though!! :):):):)

Who was it that was making fun of you? Was it Conner? And also, Annie makes fun of you more than I do. Since when have  you called yourself petite? You always make fun of me for being tall! I think that someone is not being completely honest *coughcoughcough YOU*

Kake, you are not the shortest person in school. What about Eric and Nolan and Jessica and Cole and the rest of them? you have been getting a bit taller, though. Don't get mad, I know you want to be short, but it's true. Hahahahaha! I'm the tall twin!

Wait just a minute! A looong time ago at lunch you told us that you were finally 4"11'! Ha! Liar! You are at least 5 feet now! Oh, well. I'm still taller than you by 5 1/2 inches! Burn!

My friends call themselves vertically challenged.

and a ton of people make fun of them. One of our teachers has a thing with my friend (I will call her K). So he goesstand up K. K stands up. Your short. 

K does not find it very friendly but it is still funny.
