Shin and forearm extensions would work.

5'9" is ridiculous, you're a freak, you will never be lovedWolfattheDoor34

5'9" isn't exactly short.  It could be worse...you could have been 4 feet tall--or even shorter than that.  There's nothing more miserable that spending your whole life at crotch level, I imagine. 

Keep whining. I am sure it will really help with the ladies!

Seriously though, we are whining about being 5'9 at 18? I am 5'3 and am 24 years old, bout to be 25 in less than 4 months. Essentially everyone else but 1 cousin of mine on my Dad's side is 6 foot plus and even when I was a child I was supposed to be tall as hell, but then I fell off the growth chart over the years.

Get over yourself and learn to ACCEPT yourself or life will be tough for you. God 5'9 is a perfectly fine height man ESPECIALLY at 18 and if some broad is going to try and act like your height makes you not good enough then she ain't worth the time. God my GF is 5'6 and she is fine with my height...

Get real, you are not short. You may not be as tall as you wish you were and shorter than people you know, but you are average height. Why do you even feel insecure about your height in the first place? You should be thankful you aren't actually short as it's much harder for men. Kevin Hart is maybe 5'4", but he deals with it and really his personality makes him much taller. I would advise you to work on your confidence than worry about a few inches of height that most people won't notice.Kurushio

Move to Indonesia and feel like a giant.  The average male height there is 5'2" according to Wikipedia. :lol:

You are about average for an American.

I'm an 18 year old and I'm only about 5'9. My older brother is 5'10 1/2, and my younger brother who is 15 is only about half an inch shorter than me. While I feel about average for an "adult"I feel extremly short compared to most other people my age. For example, as a former senior in high school, most kids in my class were about 5'10-5'11, most people at the university I will be attending are about 5'11-6 foot. Also as a black British born student studying and living in America I feel extremly short compared to other black American university students. I'm towered over by virtually all of them. It seems Americans are even taller than British teenagers. How can I overcome my insecurity about my height? Thoughts?crazyguy111

Since when is 5'9" short?

Get some of this, but it's expensive.

This just reminds me, I worked at a nursing home (left that one and am starting at a new one tomorrow!) and during my last days there, there was a gentleman on one of the halls who was maybe 3 foot tall and he was on a ventilattor...

I felt bad for the guy because he seemed nice. Some people unfortunately just get really ****** hands in life....

[QUOTE="Optical_Order"]You have a hormone deficiency or something?Fightingfan

lol, yeah I'd probably take it too then.

I always SMH when I come across those super short girls who demand a giant for a BF. It makes no sense to me whatsoever. I remember seeing like 5'1 girls on OKCupid back when I was trying to find someone and they would state they wanted a guy who was 6 foot or taller.

Like seriously how the hell would that work out? Such a huge height varience just seems like it would complicate things to me.,..

Grow, dumbass.

Girls are shallow, women are not.

Those dumb girls who act like you were saying either grow up and become a mature women or end up staying stuck in their immature girl mentality.

If I can get a GF then obviously there are women out there who are NOT shallow, lol.

5'9 isn't so bad. My brother got it pretty bad he is only 5'6 or 5'7.

5'9" isn't that short.

5'9" isn't even short lolol.  That's like average height.  Maybe half an inch shorter than average.  I'm 5'7" mate.  Seriously, if you really want buy a nice pair of casual dress shoes.  Those tend to have a bit of a lift, or heel, and you can wear em everywhere and look stylish.
