"If we can provide anything that's going to make him not stand out, then it's kind of our job to do that," said Michael's mother, Jennifer Reda. "Being short for a male is, unfortunately, not very accepted by society and I knew that it could cause him problems later."

This is just weird. I thought the world would be boring if we were all the same. More and more it seems like we are going that direction in order to shield our children from ridicule.

I blame Randy Newman for the dramatic increase of heightism in our society.

I have a cousin who got human growth hormone treatments in the 80's.

I used to think about how cool it would be if we jacked his supply and shot it all up. Yes, I watched too many cartoons as a kid.

I'm just waiting for the revolution of short people to happen. "Revolt of the Ankle Biters"
Our only defence would be to wear 3 pairs of socks and leather boots and that still might not be enugh!

I'll be sure to mention that to my cousin and his 3 ******* children. The only way I can tell it affected his sexuality is a complete lack of standards.

In the language of the locality, 'He don't cull nothin.'

I have an uncle who stands 5'4 amongst 2 other brothers and a father ( my grandfather) who stand about 6'4. When he was growing up in the 50's the only thing the DRs could suggest was some sort of bone surgery. I'm not 100% sure what it was (he's very touchy on the subject) but They would somehow stretch his bones, or something. He didnt have it done, as the cost was extravaant, but he is all pissed at being so short now. It's clouded his look on life. Not sure if he just needs to grow up or what but there's my contribution to the story.

That surgery involves cutting your bones in multiple places and having your flesh stretched and held while the bone heals to fill in the gaps. I'm pretty sure it's not worth the pain, much less the price or risk.

Sounds kinda like those leg braces in Forrest Gump.

could be. I had read somewhere a few months ago it was the rage now in Japan, as some companies have a height requirement. SO many women are going through with this type of surgery so they can have better jobs.
