Don't cry, short people have benefits too.

More legroom on public transport.
Less forehead-on-doorframe collisions.
SHORT PEOPLE LIVE LONGER THAN TALL PEOPLE (statistically true and that's not just because women are shorter and women live longer either).
You can be good at fun sports like table-tennis, not boring or painful ones like rowing and rugby.
People don't make you duck down at the cinema.
You can hide in crowds.
Trousers usually fit and if they don't you can just make them shorter.
You're less vunerable to air attack (seagulls and the like).

And according to the adage, you don't fall as hard.
