Puberty can affect a teenager in many ways, and in the case of the Tiny Schoolboy, it's not always good. Males are expected to be taller than females, so this character is rather strange. These small teenage boys (particularly in high school) are the target of bullying and teasing from other students for being below-average, (probably) struggle to find a girlfriend because many girls want a Tall, Dark, and Handsome boyfriend, and dread falling into the Tiny Guy, Huge Girl category. This causes some of them to lash out and become aggressive, short-tempered and loud-mouthed to show everyone that they're just as good as any normal-sized guy for any normal-sized girl. Expect some of them to have a taller best friend as a human shield or as a good tool for threatening people he's rubbed the wrong way (usually for being insulted about their height), although these characters usually end up as the Dumb Muscle, meaning that this Tiny Schoolboy is probably a pariah to everyone except for the ditzy characters. Some versions are usually the Attention Whore and can be all mouth and no legs. In many cases, it's seen as either annoying to others or just Endearingly Dorky. If their boasts turn out to be true, they become the Pint-Sized Powerhouse or just Badass Adorable. In some cases, expect these versions to befriend the Huge Schoolgirl, or be dating the Huge Schoolgirl because they're the only ones that understand each other and see the person instead of the height. Other versions of these characters are usually the Nice Guy who respects others and is a Friend to All Living Things. Unlike the aggressive version of their characters, these Tiny Schoolboys actually get the attention from the girls... but not for being studs. Expect these types to be constantly the target of the school bullies and the jocks that struggle to get girls. The one thing that the types can relate to is that they’re constantly confused with children by adults, or are too short to do certain things that other teenagers can do (expect them to be rejected from theme park rides). This is also a case of Truth in Fiction as girls tend to have their growth spurths a bit earlier than boys, often peaking in sixth or seventh grade. Meanwhile, the later may need to wait until mid-way through high school to catch-up to or surpass the opposite sex. The inverted Distaff Counterpart to Huge Schoolgirl. Not to Be Confused with Dawson Casting. A Sister Trope to Short Teens, Tall Adults. Also see Pint-Sized Kid for the preteen/children idea as a whole. If they're lucky, they eventually go through the I Got Bigger trope. |

Adam-12 has a two-part episode about a boy who is 14 but hadn't done much growing yet and is getting picked on at school because of it. He was acting out and getting in trouble and is sent to a police-run summer camp with Malloy as a counselor. He gets in trouble there, too, and Malloy hopes he can be steered in the right direction before he does something that lands him in juvenile hall. | |

Harry Potter is said to have had a huge growth spurt between Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and The Deathly Hallows and becomes almost as tall as (the already-tall) Ron, meaning he was probably this trope throughout his time at Hogwarts. There is a moment in Goblet of Fire when Harry is asked out to the school dance by a variety of girls, and a taller girl who he politely rejects, despite being scared of her. Trope's possibly implied because this huge schoolgirl might want to invoke the Tiny Boy befriending the Huge Girl and doesn't care that he's a champion in the Triwizard Tournament. | |

Nagisa Shiota from Assassination Classroom is 159 cm tall, which coupled with his androgynous appearance leads some to mistake him for a girl. The fact that his mother wanted to rear him as a girl may or may not have factored into this. The "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue shows that time was not kind to him. He only grew one measly centimeter over the past seven years, leaving him only three centimeters taller than Kayano. | |

Blaine from Glee, which is rather glaring when he stands next to his much-taller Love Interest Kurt, considering he's at first a Mentor Archetype to him (which is a character that is usually taller than their student). Coach Sylvester sometimes points out his height in her usual Flowery Insults, and Brittany at one point calls him a gnome. Speaking of Brittany, she and Blaine get some sweet moments with each other in the glee club and other lessons but aren't constantly attached to each other's hip, making this a mild version of the Huge Schoolgirl befriending the Tiny Schoolboy. (You wouldn't really be able to tell because they're the same height.) | |

Every Danganronpa game has at least one of these as a Recurring Element. Makoto Naegi from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is only 5'3, making him the shortest boy in the class. He is roughly the same height as Aoi Asahina (who is the second-shortest girl in the class after Chihiro Fujisaki). Chihiro himself is also an example, being the shortest student in the class at 4'10. Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu and Teruteru Hanamura from Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair clock in at 5'1 and 4'3 respectively. The former often takes offense at any remark regarding his baby-faced appearance, while the latter is the resident Non-Standard Character Design Gonk of the game. Ryoma Hoshi from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is only 3'5/105cm, being another Non-Standard Character Design Gonk like the aforementioned Hanamura, and is the shortest student in the series. He has to stand on a box during class trials. There is also Kokichi Oma, who clocks in at 5'1. |

In Fate/Zero, Waver Velvet is all of 5'2" at 19, which doesn't help his inferiority complex over being a less powerful mage than most of his classmates — even the Servant he summons suggests early on that he ask the Holy Grail to make him taller if he wants people to respect him. Fortunately for poor Waver, he does turn out to have been a late bloomer, and sometime in the ten years between Fate/Zero and Fate/StayNight he shoots up to 6'1". | |

Teen Titans: It's unclear if Beast Boy is the same age as his other teammates, but he is considerably shorter than any of them (by default), the Plucky Comic Relief, and the closest friends with Cyborg, the largest of them. | |

Larson from Venus Envy is only 5'4" due to being a transgender boy. He makes up for it in feist. The first time he meets Zoe (who is trans herself) and her date, he tries to get into a fight with them before noticing the girls are 5'10" and 5'6" respectively. | |

Hitomi-chan Is Shy with Strangers has Yuu Usami, a second-year high schooler who is mistaken for much younger thanks to his short height. The focus of the series is his relationship with Hitomi Takano, a girl who is taller than him despite being a grade below his and is also much scarier-looking than the diminutive Yuu despite being a Shrinking Violet. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable has two: Koichi Hirose is a zigzagged example. Koichi's actual height is 5'2", a plausible (if rather short) height for a 15-year-old high schooler. However, he's always depicted as shorter than he actually is, at one point being shown to be barely taller than 11-year-old Hayato. It doesn't help that the rest of the main characters in the series usually stand at over 6 feet tall, making him look even shorter by comparison. Shigekiyo "Shigechi" Yangu is almost the same height as Koichi, at 157 cm or so, though his neotenous proportions make him look even shorter. What's bizarre is that Shigechi's weight is listed as 110kg, or 240 pounds, 60 pounds heavier than the 6'4" Jotaro. |

10-year old Ash from Pokémon was originally short for his age, which fit his bratty and immature personality in the Original Series. He was dwarfed by his similarly aged friend Misty. However, since his Character Development in Hoenn, his proportions have changed so that he's almost the same height as Misty (but he's still shorter than Gary). | |

Though only in Junior High, Haruyuki Arita, lead protagonist of Accel World stands at barely half the height of many of the other characters even at the age of 14. This, combined with his obvious weight problem, was what resulted in him being such a popular target for local bullies. Whether he'd retain this aspect when he enters High School is actually something of a minor concern for his girlfriend Kuroyukihime. This is an anime-only element as Haruyuki is of average height in the light novel. | |

Eddy from Ed, Edd n Eddy. Although his height isn't really used to be insulted by the neighborhood kids (except in one of the earlier episodes where his height is a plot point), he's short-tempered and has Ed and Edd as his friends/sidekicks. | |

Alvin and the Chipmunks suffer from this in the second live-action movie The Squeakquel. Being the size of normal woodland chipmunks (unlike in other parts of the franchise, in which the chipmunks were the size of the children they were classmates with), in their high school, one of them is nearly run over by a skateboarding student in the hallway, and all three were inches away from being stepped on. Naturally, they are brought to the attention of giggling female students in their classes that coo over their cuteness, making the school's American football team jealously target them for their bullying pranks. | |

In Ensemble Stars!, the three shortest characters are Tori, Shinobu, and Nazuna at 152, 159, and 160 centimeters respectively. Tori explicitly utilises his position as Token Mini-Moe by taking on a Deliberately Cute Child persona, and Shinobu admires tall people (such as his friend Midori, the tallest first-year) but due to his shy personality is happy to stay somewhat below notice. Nazuna however is actually a third-year, and is very much unhappy about how cute his short appearance makes him look. | |

In Even Stevens, Ren dates a boy in her grade and is made fun of by everyone in her class. When she asks her friends why everyone is acting strangely around her, they tell her that everyone saw her being asked out by him and cannot believe that she didn't know he was short. She tells them that she doesn't see people for their height and doubts that there's a glaring difference, but when she turns up to the date, the boy stands up to escort her, showing her that she is head and shoulders taller than him, making her rather embarrassed that she's unknowingly fallen into the Tiny Guy, Huge Girl trope, and struggles to accept this and consider going out with him ever again. | |

There are five boys in SWAP Ensemble who stand less than five feet tall. The shortest is Patrick Tempo, at four feet flat, who is easily mistaken for an elementary school kid and is barely taller than one girl's kneeling height. In fact, he is shorter than an actual elementary schoolgirl, whose 4'6" stature makes the other short boys insecure about being mere inches taller than her. | |

Michal from Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues is only 4'9" at 16 years old, which makes him one of the smallest members of the cast. It's mentioned that his shortness is what's stopping him from asking Luna or Zia (6' and 5'10" respectively) out. | |

Pidge Gunderson from Voltron: Legendary Defender is dwarfed by the other Military Academy students and dropout that make up the bulk of his fellow paladins. This is understandable given that Katie Holt is on the petite side for a girl and may have falsified her age as well. It should be noted that the original Pidge was just as short. | |
