Hi and thank you so much fr this query.

I am so sorry to hear how you feel about your height. At 24years, your height is final and nothing can be done to change that. This is very true and no matter how much powder you get, it can increase your size but not your height. You may choose to take this but remember that it would not help you achieve this goal. Height is no problem. The problem is how you feel about your height and not the height itself. You should change the way you feel about yourself and not be unfair to yourself by feeling inferior to others. What I will suggest is to talk to a psychologist to regain yourself confidence and stay positive. You are not the shortest on earth. Look around you would find reasons to believe you are doing just fine as you find many others who are shorter than you!

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
Thanks.
