Am i a little.person
Hello. I was just wondering, Im really short 4'8, am I considered a little person? My parents weren't that short. My brothers aren't short. Can you tell me what factors could result in this? I know my mom was a druggie. Im not sure if that has something to do with it

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Genetic makeup of a person, hormonal levels and nutrition are three main factors which determine the height.
Although there are other factors as well.
Suggest you to get it checked out by a endocrinologist in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
