Steps

  1. 1
    Get piggy back rides. You may not have considered this before, but being short has its advantages. When you get tired, ask people to give you a piggy back, telling them that your legs are shorter than theirs, and that you get tired more easily. Chances are, your height will seem extremely cute to them, and they will not be able to refuse.

  2. 2
    Get free tickets. Weather it's on the bus or a theme park, by looking short you may be considered than you actually are, and may get away with buying children's tickets. So next time when you get on the bus, tell them you're twelve, and maybe you will save yourself some money.
  3. 3
    Use tall people as your slaves. When you can't reach something, just look around for a tall person, and ask them to get it for you. That will save you the trouble of getting on a chair and getting the object down yourself. Make sure you say thank you afterwards.
  4. 4
    Remember that being shorter than others, has its advantages. You can squeeze into places where tall people can't. So next time something falls behind a table or something, save yourself the bother of pulling the thing back and squeeze into the small space.
  5. 5
    Buy clothes form the children's section. Go ahead, if you like that thing and it's in the children's section, buy it. Especially if it's a pair of jeans or something, buying the jeans from the adult section will end up being more expensive and they may not even fit you, being too long which means you'll have to trim them.
  6. 6
    It might be a good idea to take on martial arts or something. That way, the next time someone tries to push you around because you're small, you're prepared with the ability to kick their butt in self defense, and next time they won't bother you.
  7. 7
    Realise that being short isn't a disadvantage, it's the opposite. Make a list of the things that are positive aspects of being short, and think of creative ways to use your height. Remember, your height is a weapon, that you can use against other people
