In a small body, he has such a big heart to face the world. And also I think he is a combination of cute, brave, talented, and handsome.
You said it best! Our thoughts exactly :)
he's so down to earth, disarming and sincere in his words. May he get the best out of his life through deserving encouragement from everyone around him.
Nobody gonna talk about his excellent cooking skills?????
Man made me hungry with that soy sauce chicken :)
I just wanna say, thanks for showing and telling us your story.
Truly inspirational. Glad he found his place in the world 🌍 through photography.
We're happy for him too :)
If you'd like to see more of his photography, do follow him on IG or FB: @joshkhoophotography (instagram.com/joshkhoophotography/, facebook.com/jkhoophotography/)
How could anyone treat him badly or discriminate against him? He's honestly just a regular dude and deserves to be treated like one. glad to hear his story and hope things get better not just for him but those with his condition as well
Kids in school are pretty toxic with their bullying, mocking and comments sometimes. You'd be surprised how some bullies find anything to make a mockery out of.
Thank you for sharing such a great story. I only wish the best for him.
I wish he/OGS shared more about how others can interact with him respectfully, or what not to say when you encounter a person with a short stature. Maybe even how they would like to be called, or treated with dignity. If anyone has tips do share!
treat the human normally. but also take note not to joke things (anything got to do with height or short limps/big head) that seems funny when it's not. :)
We can refer them as person with short stature. Do not, do not ever use the M word.
@ OGS bring him back for can ask meh pls
Hi Matilda, we've asked Joshua and here's his reply:
"For behaviour, we would really appreciate people not to stare at us. There are many times, strangers would secretly be taking picture of us without our knowledge. This is really disturbing.
Treat us like any other ordinary person. Sometimes, we may not ask others for help because we feel embarrassed, feel free to give us a helping hand when needed."
Hope this answers your question :-) Thanks for supporting this video!!
@@OGS.Official One last question... If we offer help, is it more appropriate to stand upright or bend down when speaking to them? Which way is respectful to them?
People need to stop being mean and educate their children to be kind to one another despite one's disability. Great story btw!
You're an inspiration Joshua! Keep it up!
thanks for sharing! I don't have this medical condition, but another one that has made me be of short stature myself (i stand at 140cm). i frequently questioned why i was so very much shorter/smaller than my peers when i was younger (I only found out about my condition late in adulthood). that did help me have at least a physiological answer to something that has essentially been in the forefront of my life. Ultimately, I grew up to generally keep to myself and have a strange quirkiness to my character due to me just generally having a low confidence in my abilities. that being said, i am grateful for an awesome family, and a career that forces me out of my shell and generally have more empathy to those who are either born with or acquire disabilities. We need to be kinder and more patient with each other, and learn not to shy away /dismiss questions raised by children who see people whom are different from them. that's how they learn, and the world will be a much better place for that

Thank you Joshua for demonstrating courage and positivity that the world needs. 💙
Joshua, u are amazing!!!
Hello Joshua, I have been struggling with self-confidence all my life.. I wish to hear how you managed that
Hi P, we asked Joshua for some advice, and here's what he had to say.
Focus and build on your strengths and gifts, never allow the negative comments to take control of you. You are the author of your life. No one can dictate your life except yourself.
We hope you find some comfort and strength through his words of advice 💪
I really respect this guy.
it doesnt matter wat others have dat perspective of u..most importantly you are kind and honest
I wish this documentary can be made longer and interview other people like him here.This is a very interesting premise.
🤩
Much Respect to this Great Story!!!

Thank you for sharing your story! This will definitely help educate our fellow people to understand that we are all deserving of respect and love no matter the different physical markers we have.
What a blessing growing up with you Josh.
He has a huge heart, not many has these days. His photos are amazing too!
Thank you OGS for always making these eye-opening videos, gives me such broader views in my life
Seeing him like unable to reach certain things like the KFC self-order made me feel so bad! I wanna go there and help him so badly 😭
At Mcdonald's self-order kiosk there is a "reach mode" for persons with shorter stature or in wheelchairs :)

Insensitive comments are really uncalled for, words do cut deeper than a knife. I hope that the future will be a happy and rewarding journey for you! All the best!
Joshua! thank you for sharing your stories! Really warmth video :) Truly inspirational
Keep up the good work Joshua!
As a dwarfism, I was joked on my height from my own ordinary mother to my niece. Not all, but most ordinary people are disgusting toward midgets.
Thank you for this video, makin us more understand
Thank you for sharing! ❤️ Your sharing made my day a lot better than how it originally was.
You're not alone Joshua. My head is big too and I'm not tall ;)
i cant fully understanding the actual feeling, sincerely hope u can happily go on w yr life everyday
Great story as always OGS!
Such an inspiration! Thanks for sharing your story, Joshua.
Thank you Joshua...your story will inspire many ...keep your head up...be happy always..
Good attitude and positive perspective help people to overcome difficulties in life! We will get better when we embrace ourselves and who we are! It is great to see people carrying on with life despite the struggles they face! Never give up because the days will get better!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Knowledge and awareness makes the world a better place to live in for everyone!
Looks like you live a pretty normal life friend, & that your struggles aren't much different from 'normal (I use that word very loosely)' people.
I like the part of 4:32. Never allow people's comments n feedback affect me. Very inspiring. Great. Thank you for sharing Josh. Take care
Keep your spirits up and stay strong! 💪
truly inspirational, wishing you all the best in your future endeavours 🥂
Sending encouragement!! Thanks for sharing ur story so bravely :)
Always believe that when God takes something away from you, he gives something in return and it's up to us to find it. What you lack in height, you have tonnes in self confidence and mental strength that most able bodied people sorely lack.
Really commend you for living your life boldly 👍
You are a strong man!
don't be dishearten. You can cook and speak very well and clearly bilingually. Much better than many of us. Keep it up and cheers ! :)
Thanks for sharing your story Joshua, you have my respect!
my cousin and his 2 boys are just like Joshua so its my neighbour .. Even though he is small in size he has a big heart. My family loves respect and accept them unconditionally.. Last month my cousin's wife passed away due to pneumonia .. he feels lonely .. trying times for him..
Thanks for being such an inspiration Joshua :) I hope that only good things come your way in the future!
Bless you & thank you for sharing your story with us
You are beautiful no matter what they say ~ words can't bring u down ~
You are brave and you are beautiful.
He so lovely !
you are amazing! 👍🏻
Good that he shared his story n let everyone know his feeling. However I feel very proud of him for being so brave to overcome any obstacles in his life. Not everyone is perfect who wants to be born in this way? Society should accept n help ppl with abnormality then the world will be a lively n happy one.
It mustve been so hard.. more so than mine when im 155cm at 22 but since then i too accepted it. Keep going man and thank you for the motivation. :)
Do not let other people comment affect u 👍
A person who is not normal is not necessarily someone hopeless.
You go !
hey, at least hes more down to earth as compared to most of us
You are perfect... cause you were made by God...no two person s are the same...just be you and keep believingin the Almighty and all else will fall in place...stay safe stay blessed.
Too short - problem. Too tall - also problem. Each of us have our own "unique" problem. So, be kind to everyone, cos that person suffering could actually be you.
Much respect to u sir
Cool dude
Humans have 2 things in them. What I have you don't have. What you have I don't have.
bravo
From St. PATS
is it possible for carpenters to design something to cater to people like joshua :(

His photos are good. Could you guys plug his IG?
I am an adult, male but I am short, I am inconfident sometimes
hea lugu
People are very judgemental to see this..i dun care for what they see. We all humans too
There are many 170-180 "children" at my former work place. So yea height dont always matter.
You will be like Peter Dinklage one day!
He knows how to cook which normal people are lazy to do it
I think he was in my primary school!
Jack...Jack ..
nii vahva inimene
hann er góður ljósmyndari
I have my friend deaf shorts not sure 1.35m
Why is this demonetised?
Why would a kid ask why a person is short? Aren't they short themselves? Lol
sagan er góð
He probably shorter than 135 since insecure men lie about height
So cute
Lol
Adults shd teach children not to stare.
If my kid ask me why this guy is short i will say that is why you need to eat your veggies and drink milk! And eat less sugar! And do sports like swimming, badminton etc. if you are just sitting your ass all day while playing ipad, you will be like him!
I'm sorry but I don't think you should say that.
That's just fucked.That kid will certainly mock other people having similar conditions.Better take it as an opportunity to teach about science and the need for empathy
he's same height as XIAXUE
