I'm too short for your friendship.
Posted by Michael Dale on Mon, 11 Oct 2004 10:23 AMI was reading the SMH this morning and came across this:
Short children standing tall in the popularity stakes
Friends and popularity are not measured in centimetres, says a groundbreaking study on height and social adjustment.
It challenges perceptions that taller children are more popular, and it raises questions about the use of artificial growth hormones to help short children spurt up towards their peers.
I'm not quite sure what is groundbreaking about this. I thought it was quite funny.
Full story here: http://smh.com.au/articles/2004/10/10/1097406428206.html
I wasn't actually talking about myself. Just the whole "study" thing that was done. I hardly think that it is so groundbreaking that it needs to be on the front page of SMH.
Plus, I don't have friends anyway so it doesn't matter :P ;)
That defines short as shorter than you, plus it's addressing a different age group. Maybe I'm taking this too seriously, but you don't qualify as "short", nor should the findings here apply to you... the title of this post is a bit, well... blatantly incorrect. :P
