tell your friend to STAND TALL GIRL! Be proud, you are the envy of all diminutive women and the object of desire for all confident and secure men. As mankind has evolved, he has grown taller--the fittest,baby...STAND TALL!( and try to tolerate the little people, they mean no harm).

I'm not sure, but I think that they can shorten the leg bones. Why would someone want to do that to themselves it would be painful and if there are complications perhaps they wouldn't be able to walk again. Tell her to be proud of herself for who she is. We can't always change things physically in life but we can change our attitudes.

Most people do get shorter after the age of 30 (about 2mm shorter each year). But for a quick fix, she can have surgery, in which the surgeon will break off parts of her leg and let them heal closer together.

As you age you get shorter. If you want to appear less tall wear flat shoes.
