<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

In middle school, I had a growth spurt and my spine couldn't support it, so it kind of caved in a little. Years later, now that I'm done growing, my spine has stopped caving in. But, I still get comments about it. It used to bother me whenever I was at a track meet or at the pool and some people would comment on it, but now I don't mind at all. In addition, I am a short, little ginger, so I am/was fully aware I have slim chances with the chicas. But, I turned to humor, and poked a little fun at myself, and came to terms with who I am.
