In person, I am actually pretty short at 5'1". And, to be honest, there are lots of cons to being short (including the fact I have to convince people that I am a freshmen in college, not a freshmen in high school). However, why doesn't anyone talk about the perks of being short? Short people can get away with so many things due to their height, such as:

Getting to the front at events to see.

Unless you have really tall, crazy hair, people are more willing to let you in front of them to see? Why? They can see over you. There's no reason to not let a short person in front of you unless you have a crazy bias against smaller persons.

Getting a workout from climbing your kitchen counters.

Why go to the gym when you can get an equally good cardio workout from climbing your kitchen counters. Unless people design houses and appliances with short people, you have your own at-home gym. All you have to do is climb, grab something, jump down, climb back up and put it back, repeat.

SOMETIMES getting away with shopping in the kid's section.

Saving money, need I say more?

Getting piggy back rides.

When you're small and lazy, people usually aren't opposed to giving you piggy back rides places. You're kind of like a tiny human jetpack to non-short humans.

Wearing heels if you so desire and not having to worry about overpowering someone with your height.

Short people are already so short that they can wear whatever shoes they want without having to worry about the added height. Granted, walking in heels is a pain in the butt, but the method is able to be mastered. Heel, toe, heel, toe,...

Making jokes about your height, because at the end of the day it's part of you.

"I'm not short, I'm concentrated awesome."

"I'm travel-sized for your convenience."

"I'm fun-size!"

The list of jokes can go on and on, but nothing quite captures the perks that come with being short and being proud.
