Big and in the back
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...
Tall Girl Scholarships
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! (:
light-up-this-town asked: Almost 16 and I'm 5'11! I used to hate being tall because of the whole guy thing, and 'cause my parents never really had a lot of money so t was hard finding jeans that were long enough, but now I embrace it! I absolutely love being different, and it's really hard to imagine what the world looks like from down low (: Love your blog <3
hgiff asked: "I’m 13 I’m 5’10 and have size 11.5-12 feet. It sucks. I really do hate being tall." Never hate being tall. it makes you unique and gets you noticed. There's even a collage scholarship for tall people. You are beautiful just the way God made you. Sincerely, 5'11" since 14
afishinthesea asked: LOVE LOVE LOVE this tumblr! I am 5' 11" and this describes my life. The boob-to-head hug (why I resisted hugs for so many years) or the hugging the guy friend who is shorter than you. Tall is always the way to go.
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.
Tall girl problem
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...
andmarlysaid-deactivated2012121 asked: I counter the big feet issue with proportions. I'm perfectly proportioned for my size. 5'10 and wearing a 10. Better than 5'6 and wearing the same size as me. Amirite?
merkyluv asked: For the young girl having trouble with finding long clothes... I like to buy jeans on clearance at places like old navy they can be as inexpensive as 11 dollars, and then cut em up and make capris, its summer :)
pinklvce asked: Lol I'm so glad I found this blog, being a little under 6 ft, I can relate to like everything here! omg
rosebud496 asked: I'm 15, 5'6-7 and wear a size 10, (I have for 2 years now!) no one has ever told me I have big feet cause the average foot size is now an 8 or 8 1/2, and my best friends wear a size 9, and a size 9 1/2. (I just say I have big feet cause I'm also flat footed... haha) I think having big feet is having to have shoes specially made for you cause you can never find your size. Never fear...
babeedolphin1220 asked: Has anyone ever said you had big feet? I have this one friend that is 5' 6" and wears a size 10, yet says I have big feet because I wear an 11 and I'm 6 feet tall. It's nonsense, right?
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.
Age
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.
