      Oh… Yeah, they’re idiots. And don’t have a clue. I think you should try to ignore them if you don’t plan on dating them. Maybe don’t have them be close friends either.

      In my experience such random bullying is quite common in school. But once your grow up, such things become more rare in the adult world. Your mileage may vary. There are adult bullies and a*holes who like to pick on people. They’ll find something to tease and bait you. Outer appearance is a common and cheap way to do it.

      If you’re still in school: It might become better after that. If not: Congratulations, you met some proper pricks. I hope they’re just some random people you don’t have to interact with ever again.

      If somebody is habitually dissing you for being short, they either are a bully (and must be dealt with one way or another) or don’t realise how much it hurts you.

      Dude, if some guy tells you that it’s because he is insecure or knows he has no chance and his fragile ego can’t handle you dating her because he thinks he is better than you. He is going to have some self examination to do and he can’t deal with that.

      You intimidate him, man.
