Part 2, Problems related to dwarfism


Dwarf's encounter many problems because of their shorter height. First of all, many of them get teased for being short. They are often being laughed at, or being subjected to rude jokes and pranks by their peers. Sometimes, dwarf's even get bullied around by other, regular sized peoples.
Dwarf's also have other disadvantages. Some of them are less athletic, and others may suffer from obesity or mental difficulties. There is also a very rare illness among dwarf's called Progeria. It causes a growth rate impediment(thus making the affected person a dwarf) and an early ageing. Children suffering from Progeria have the physology of an old man(or women) and never live more then 25 years old( considering they are aged 70 years in only 20 years.
