To me I don't think Dwarfism would be all that bad all except for the medical problems and having to get things specially made for you like appliances and stuff.
I know this might sound rude, but I think dwarfism is a little humorous. To be so short, and incapable of doing so much would suck. It makes me thankful for being tall.
I would hate to be so Small. They all look so happy, and they don't let their disease bring them down, that's for sure.It seems to me, as if they have a positive outlook on the way they are.
