Re: RSS - dwarfism vs. growth disorder

[Guest guest]

Ok...I have to throw my two cents in on this topic. As a RSS Adult, I HATE

the term " Midget " . I actually get angry sometimes when I'm called that. I

have never seen myself as a dwarf, I've always just thought of myself as just

short. When people ask me why i'm so short I respond with cause thats the way

God made me. In my opionion i shouldn't have to explain what's wrong with me to

strangers. As many of the adults have posted on here before, I hate when

somebody tells me I'm short...like I haven't noticed after 28 years. Of course

most of the time I laugh it off, when inside i want to explode on them.
