I am 17 years old and only 4 ft 9.
My mom is small (5ft) but not nearly as small as me and by dad is 5 foot 8, and my sister is 5 ft 2.
I have always been very very small my whole life!!!
I am 4 ft 9 85 pounds and my body seems proportional, my hands are tiny and I wear size 2-3 in kids shoes. I grew half an inch this year so I am still growing. But I am so tiny compared to everyone else and my friends and boyfriend tower over me, he is at least a foot taller than me!

Why am I so abnormally small!!! Please help!!!! Is this a disability?

This is not a disability. You're family just has the genes for short statures but you can do some things to help you grow. You said your mom is 5 feet and your dad 5"8" so if you're lucky and you do a lot of physical exercise you can probably grow a lot taller. But you have to start doing the exercise immediately since you"re a girl and girls usually stop growing early (you can probably peak between 5"3" and 5"6"). I'm only 5"5" (my mom is 5"2" and my dad 5"7") and 16 and I'm trying to get to 6"1" so I currently play football (on a team), basketball (for fun) and cross-country (on a team). But in order for the exercise to work you'll have to run about 6 miles a day to increase the HGH hormone in your body which is responsible for growth. Plus get lots of sleep; some people say to get 7 hours but just to be safe I'd get 9 hours. Hope this answered your question. Plus eat healthy, talk to your doctor and ask what he/she recommends (this is b/c everyone is different and a personalized diet will benefit you).

It hasn't grown considering which you haven't any longer hit puberty. in simple terms wait till you have and you will see that there is not any longer something incorrect with you. in simple terms from examining another posts, sure you will get an erection in the previous puberty. infant boys continuously get erections they only can no longer ejaculate. And penis length has a tendency to be genetic yet there are additionally different factors that flow into penis length. yet another word in order that as which you do no longer worry approximately your length once you do strengthen: while a woman isn't aroused her vagina is around 2-4 inches in length. while she is aroused it lengthens to approximately 5 to easily approximately 7 inches. the consumer-friendly length penis, this is 5-7 inches, is a appropriate extra healthful for the vagina. Any larger and the penis will push against the cervix which could be painful and uncomfortable.

Since you haven't been raised in a third world country and are malnourished, it's just genetics. Nothing you can do about except where height-boosting shoes. Nothing wrong with short chicks.

Dwarfism. It applies if you are 4'10'' or shorter
