Tall Girl Problems

Kendra, 18 years old, 5'10.5

For all the beautiful tall girls and the problems we have to endure. Through all the teasing, feeling out of place & short hems, I'm finally coming to a point where I realized that there's nothing wrong with being a little different. People still try to tear me down about it but there will always be people doing that. These problems are mostly to make you laugh & go "OH MY GOD. THAT'S MY LIFE." But this is more than just a place to share each other's problems. It's a support group where we encourage girls to see the beauty within them (so play nice, ladies). Ask me anything & feel free to submit!


"You're only as tall as your heart will let you be and you're only as small as the world will make you seem."

I’m 16 years old and I’m about 5’9” 1/2…maybe. But that’s not really tall compared to this blog! I have always had the hardest time with jeans.  My torso is incredibly short. They’re are some people I am taller than but when we sit they look taller. It stinks! But most of the boys that are taller than me end up having shorter legs!  Anyways back to the jeans thing.  I have long legs and I never hear the end of it.  So when I make the annual back to school trip to the local American Eagle all of the jeans are too short and I have to buy them to fit my legs but they end up being huge in the waist! That was when I discovered the coveted “long” size :) Also since my torso is so short I but small t-shirts…BUUUTT the sleeves are TOO short! UGH. I’m so disproportionate! But I love hearing all of the short people saying “Dang, you’re tall!”
