Tall Girl Problems

The 5 things that bother me about being tall: 

1) In photos I’m always in the back row with all the men. Just once I would like to be up front with the women. 

2) Being described as big. I am not big  (I wear a size 4 for heavens sake) I am tall. 

3) I have to shop for clothing online. I can’t check fit until it arrives in the mail and 1/4 I have to send it back. I would love to walk into a dressing room, try something on real time and then make a decision.

4) Anytime there is heavy lifting or something awkward to move people want me to do it. Just because I’m tall it does not mean I can move a 200lb sofa on my own. I’m a woman not a linebacker.

5) Being picked for a team sport like basketball FIRST. I’m tall but that doesn’t mean I can catch or throw a ball better than my shorter friends. I’m a terrible athlete :) and there is an assumption I can perform like an NBA star.

On a side note: THANK YOU TO WHOEVER BROUGHT THE MAXI DRESS BACK INTO STYLE. A style that only a tall woman can carry off perfectly. 

Did you know there’s a scholarship for being tall? For girls, it’s being over 5’10”! I don’t have any idea what it’s called, but I did have a teacher who told me about it. (I’m 5’10”). Thank goodness for being tall! Sometimes it’s something to hate, but this is definitely a benefit! (:

When guys attractiveness is based on height. 

I’m 13 I’m 5’10 and have size 11.5-12 feet. It sucks. I really do hate being tall.

Being called “big”. There’s a difference between a”big person” and a “tall person”. I’m very insecure about my weight(what do expect? I’m 5’10 and have HUGE hips). That’s probably the thing I hate the most about being tall is being called big.

Im 15 and I’m about 5’10.5 and It still hasn’t clicked thar being tall is a good thing…I tower over almost everyone at school and I hate going out because everyone always makes a comment about how tall I am…always! And it is hard finding guys taller than me guys aren’t really into tall blondes now…u don’t play volleyball or basketball but I do play lacrosse sing/play music and like art. I have this group of friends that are literally only to my shoulder. But my best friend is only like 1 inch shorter than me. I HATE being tall but I know it wont change. Someone help me realize its a good thing!

When a 5’5 person demands an exit row seat so they can have more leg room.

Dodging trees branches when walking with your friends who can walk right under them.

Getting crushes of celebrities based almost solely on their height.

Looking like you’re in your twenties when you’re actually fifteen..

Getting hit in the face by tree branches because people didn’t prune high enough over their sidewalk.
