Because I used to be extremely short and am now tall I have a unique perspective on the differences between how you'll be treated. The unfortunate truth is that if you're ugly your treatment really won't improve much if you're taller. When I was short, I was not bad-looking (believe it or not). I had an average face and was treated better in some ways and worse in others.
One difference is people were more sociable with me. More strangers were willing to try to befriend me and adults treated me better. The downside is these people would crack jokes about my height and how I was a "shrimp." My mother would constantly vent to others about how she was worried I would be short. Despite having social opportunities, I became isolated simply because I couldn't stand the bullying around my height.
At 14 I had a massive growth spurt and spiked to 6'0. However, it came at a cost. I became extremely ugly. (Largely due to an underbite) Here's how my treatment changed.
• people were less sociable with me. I began to see expressions of obvious disgust when I spoke to people.
•in social situations people would mock my face and crack jokes behind my back.
• strangers showed a mix of fear and disgust. I could see girls laughing and pointing at me; if I looked their way, however, I could see them become uncomfortable and quickly hurry away.
I'd say, despite the bullying, I preferred being shorter and not ugly because I could at least talk to people without being treated like a disgusting freak. However, it wasn't much better. I was still isolated due to bullying around my height genetically

and i dont know if its due to testosterone or something genetic my parents arent tall but i got almost no beard and everyone else i know except asians got beard at much younger age than me so i dont know if i might have low testosterone that causes my height to be below average. i dont know how it works
