xoclareox is verified as being by the original poster of the question Thank you everyone who has answered. I now realise it may be not as bad as i orginally thought. I have now found out that shortness does run in my mums side of the family which helps me understand why i am small.
Thank you everyone

Hey,
It's no biggie being small, i'm 23 and smaller than u at 4'9 ---- and my ex was a 6 footer! At the end of the day u are who u are, regardless of height, weight etc. as long as ur happy and healthy u have nothing to worry about,
some people are just meant to be smaller. as the saying goes, all good things come in small packages.
I've found that some men / male friends treat me in a protective manner because of my height and a lot find it quite cute. Just enjoy being wo u are, because at the end of the day, whats meant to be will be. chin up eh!

I know as a guy I am attracted to the more extreme variety of lady. Those over 5'8" and those below 5'0" I find both have qualitys that are very rare in the more average height ladies.
Maybe it is because they have never been able to mingle in with the crowd so much that their personalities develop with far more originality and zest.
I wouldn't worry if you end up at this height as far from holding back your beauty it probably does a lot to enhance it.
If there are any guys out there who are turned off by your lack of height it shows them up more for their lack of depth. Most guys out there that are not so shallow would never see your lack of height to be a problem.

 All i can say is you have nothing to worry about here. Some guys will find this really sweet. Not all guys like tall women, espessially if she is taller than the guy. Don't worry about your height, use it to your advantage. Look at it as a positive and not a negative.
Im 5.10, and i more aspire to shorter women myself. Relax and enjoy your life and stop worrying.
All the best XxX

I'm 5ft 1 so not much taller than yourself and have never had any problems. Being small means you can ask the dishy guy in the supermarket to reach up for that cereal box for you! It means you don't have to duck under doorways and finally there are plenty of killer heels out there to give you an extra inch or four! When I was twenty one, I would get refused entry to pubs and clubs, when my friends who were actually 3 years younger and taller than me would have no problems. Needless to say I had to carry ID with me. Being smaller means that when you're older you will always appear to be younger great bonus, when your 35 and eyeing up the cute 25 yr old. I stopped growing at 11yrs and have never had any regrets about my height, it means you have the pick of the bunch when it comes to men. You never have to worry about you being taller than your partner. Actually a lot of men enjoy dating smaller woman because it only accentuates their manliness and they're more protective of you. Enjoy yourself people come in all shapes and sizes so celebrate, for you are unique.

 well i was slightly over weight when i was younger and i lost weight and my height shot up, you stop growing when youre 21 roughly so you might get a studden spurt of growth, have you asked youre parents if their is a shortness of height in youre family ? and my mum is 4'10 but she is smaller than me im 5'4 but i wouldnt say short, but i love her the same, she only minds her height for shelves lol but she wouldnt change her height dont worry about it. all good things come in different packaging sorry this isnt useful but hope it helps xx A

All i can say is that some people are destined to be shorter than others. i mean you may have a few more years of growth in you but thats at best.
And you docter has said its nothing to worry about.
Its not really advice but all i can say is you gonna have to learn to live with it.
PS: Some woman love shorter men i heard.
PPS: I look 13 and im much older

 Im 5'3 & would loooooooooove to be shorter! Ive never wanted to be tall. Guys love small women too which is a bonus.
I would be happy with the way you are if i was you.
Clothes can be a bit of a pain but apart from that, its cool.
As you get older you stay looking younger too. So at the moment you might well be wanting to look older but in 10 yrs time i bet you will be glad you dont!
Hope thats helped, if not sorry.
C xxxxx
