Tall Girl Problems

Kendra, 17 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."

my dad

So, two and a half years ago my father went away to Costa Rica, because he is a sailor. We used to skype a lot, but we didn’t see each other in that year (it were 31 months, to be more specifically). Then we got the message he would come home in a few weeks. I was really happy.

Now i have to add: my father is not really tall. He’s around 5ft8 maybe a little bit taller, maybe a little bit smaller, but he used to tower me. Well, at least that two and a half years ago, because i was always a small, cute girl (now i am 15). I think i was around 5ft when we met the last time.

When we- my mum, my sister (she is 18 and 4ft11) and my dad- met each other after that two and a half years, there was a big party for all the sailors in the town. There where around 1000 people and we all danced and there was music- I… i was wearing heels. Heels that where 4 Inches. Pretty tall heels.

What dad didn’t know was, that i grew in that 2,5 years. I grew a lot, but i didn’t know how much, i never measured me. I just knew, that i was over 6ft, so way taller than dad.

So then we saw each other- and he wasn’t even getting up to my breast! He was breast level with me when i was wearing heels! And yes, there was this ‘legendary’ boob-to-face-hug between us.

Even without my heels, he wasn’t even getting up to my chin. I don’t know why i got so tall- all my family members are smaller than smurfs :D (Dad is 5ft8, sister is 4ft11, mum is 5ft1).

He was looking up to me.

When we got home, the first thing we did, was to measure me. I was 6ft3, WTF!

I never really thought about being tall and nobody ever insulted me. The opposite happened- i got complimented for my long legs.

We also measured my legs. They are 3ft10, now. Pretty long, huh? :D
My sister’s legs are 2ft4 :D Her head barely reaches my navel and that’s kinda fun^^
