"No they're not," said Gwen. "You just have to make them a gift rather than a curse. Do you know what I'm saying?"
"But my powers make me smaller and weaker," replied Cindy. "Sometimes I wonder I should just keep shrinking so I'm in no one's way."
"Don't say things like that. Believe me you're lucky. At least you can become normal size. My smallest size is over 8 feet tall. I have difficulties getting through doors, standing up straight in rooms, fitting in and don't get me started on buying clothes. So instead of looking at all of your disadvantages look at all the advantages you have."
"Like what?"
"Well you don't have to worry about losing weight."
"I guess so."
"It's easy for you to spy on an enemy if you needed to."
"Yeah."
"And you can become normal size. You don't have to be stuck at a shrunken size. You can walk around like a normal person. Look at some of the people here. There powers have affected them physically. They can't just walk around a street looking like that. They'd probably be killed."

Has this worked?
