| Oh geeeeze van I definitely empathize with that lol |
Crisp, Clear, and Cool| Vanguard Stables |
| I'm 4"11 and 60 pounds, my little brother that is like half my age is almost as tall as me O.o |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| I take after my paternal grandmother because my mom's side is tall enough and even my dad and uncle got my grandfather's height but my grandmother is a tiny petite little thing so. Failed that lottery xD |
| Gem |
| I'm an average height too (5'5") but of course it's not okay for my sister to win loll |
| Vanguard Stables |
| When I was in 6th grade I had shin splints, I tried talking to my track coach (I did hurdles) and she said that if I wasn't limping I was fine. So you know what little me asked to do? I went to the "bathroom" and instead hid in a locker until track was over, probably looked weird coming out of the locker but eh. |
| Gem |
| Both of my parents and my younger sister are taller than me. It's absolutely tragic XD |
| The Old Gods |
| :| yeah. I just straight up didn't grow. Both my parents are under 5'5". I had zero chance in life. |

| Eury It sounds like the doctors did notice and are concerned? And their mom noticed too but seems evidently less concerned... |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| I don't disagree, but I also wouldn't be surprised if those who noted and thought about but didn't report were hit with bystander effect, or rationalized it away, or the clothes she wears hides it, or the doc is friends with her parents and enables it, and the nurses who might report fear retaliation.... there's a laundry list of possibilities and I can't discount them for sure without y'know. Being there |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| I grew like a weed but then hit my height max and everyone else surpassed but, but I had a ridiculous metabolism so when I went to college (physically rigorous one) I dropped 10 pounds I didn't have to lose lmao still haven't gotten back the sub cutaneous tissue I lost, my poor joints have little padding;;.;; |
| The Old Gods |
| At 60 pounds, it'd be very noticeable, the medical records would show a steady decline (hi, I look at medical records for my job), ignoring the doctor themself, that's going to be different nurses, school staff, church staff, etc. I...just find it hard to believe that no one has noticed and evidently everyone hates the kid that much to just ignore it. |
| Vanguard Stables |
| I have a great story if anyone wants to hear haha, just got reminded of something |
| Vanguard Stables |
| Gladius Yep, I haven't grown in a long time, but with my age I guess there's kind of an advantage to having those characteristics |
| The Old Gods |
| I'unno. I was one of those kids who was always light weight. Doctor did complain and I was no where near that degree of underweight (I was maybe 10 pounds underweight lmfao) |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| Yeah not everyone will hit the same milestones even on the same amount of food. Genetics, activity, illnesses, etc all play into that |
| Vanguard Stables |
| I eat normal, 3 meals, some snacks, but I'm still tiny, atleast for my age |
| Vanguard Stables |
| I'm not a doctor but usually with this type of stuff It's hard for me to form an opinion, I can be sympathetic but I relate to it, just not in the same manner. |
| The Old Gods |
| Then I hope you have a lot of mental and emotional bandwidth for when summer hits. |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| Idk man I'm more inclined to believe until proven otherwise, because the harm of not believing a child who is telling the truth is far worse than validating and then verifying -shrug- but I'm a bleeding heart as my parents like to remind me |
