Hi, I just turned 13 and I’m 5’10.5”. I used to hate it because my height makes me look much older, cuz my legs are like really long compared to my body. Like I’m still young enough to order off the kids menu but some resteraunts won’t let me! People always say, “OMG ur soo tall!!” But now I’ve just learned to embrace it. At our last dance I wore probably 3 inch heels, like why not. People were like “wow, Do you really need to be taller?” But I don’t care because I looked awesome, a foot taller than all my friends, but I felt great.

To the girl who has a shorter boyfriend…I completely agree. I was obsessed with finding a guy who was taller than me until I met my fiance. He’s the same height as me at 6’ (maaaybe a tiny bit shorter) but it doesn’t bother me at all. I love him more than words can describe.

So girls, don’t get too hung up on finding a guy who is taller than you! I know it might be awkward and you might get made fun of at first, but you’ll soon realize that when you fall in love, it doesn’t matter :)

First of all, I love your blog! I thought it would be really cool to share my story with all you tall girls out there. I’m 6’0 and I’m currently 18 years old. I have always been ‘the tall girl’. Almost daily I get to hear: ‘oh wow, you are tall!’. And it’s not just strangers that point this out to me, it’s also the people that I see daily, people that have known me for years. Although I prefer people stating the obvious than all that name calling. I think most of us went through that. And if you’re in high school or even middle school and people are saying mean things to you, don’t worry it’ll stop. It does get better. There is gonna be a day when you can finally tell yourself: ‘hey, you know what, being tall isn’t that bad!’. Finding that confidence might take some time, especially if you’re being bullied. But you’re gonna get there, I swear. Stand straight. Walk proud. Tall girls are BEAUTIFUL.

I'm tall nothing I can change about it.

Growing up, like the elementary years, I thought that being tall was awesome and I loved it, and then middle school and early years of high school hit. Being tall for a girl wasn’t awesome and in fact you were a freak. This kid down the road called me a giant red headed freak, and eventually I got sick of it so one day he calls me this name I just full out run at this kid and jump on him and just start throwing punches, I mean the fight didn’t last long my dad pulled me off the kid, but he never called me that name again, after that point I stopped caring what people thought of me. I’m tall there is nothing I can do about it, unlike being short where I can just put on heels. Look I’m tall and I love it. Yeah people might stare or ask me if I play basketball (now when I get asked that question I usually reply sarcastically for example if the person that asks me that is short I say something like “No I don’t but you do you dress up like a leprechaun?” they usually get irritated and walk off. But here is the one thing that will drive me up the wall, at concerts when everyone is standing up and dancing I have been asked to switch seats with someone so that a shorter person can see, or squat down a little, or simply to move. Like no, I paid for this seat and concert, and I am gonna enjoy this show, I can’t be shorter, but short people you can be taller put on some heels or whatever.

Embrace your height, rock it.

I’m 22 and 6’ since 7th grade. My entire family jokes at every family function about how my “type” of guy is at least 6” shorter than me. Other than the issues with clothes I love being tall.

I just turned 14 and I am 6'1.5 ever since I was 5'11 I could never find any pants my length, and when I wanted a onesie I was the only one out of my friends who couldn't get one because my legs were too long it seems like I have been shunned from wearing clothes and to special order my jeans has been terrible I just want clothes that fit right!

Click the shop tall link! There are plenty of stores listed where you can find jeans :)

I’m 20. All my school life, I was like a freak and hated my 6ft.But I accepted it. You showed me I’m not alone and people are haters cause tallness is beautiful. Contrary to what I’ve been told, I can date a guy shorter than me if I want, cause as Kid Cudi said “they gon’ judge me anyway, so -Whatever!” And yes! some short guys love tall girls. Now, I’m proud and like it when people look at my feet to see if I wear heels! For the younger girls, be proud. Remember, tall is graceful.

I just have to say, I love what the girl said about how she always told everyone she was 5’4” even though she’s actually 5’8”. When I was in high school, I was very adamant that I was 5’7”. In reality I’m only about an inch or two taller than that but she gave me a good laugh when I remembered that.

Also, I just want to thank the admin of this page. You are awesome and my hero and I’m so grateful that you have created this community of wonderful people.

When your date puts his arm around you at the movies, and you have to slouch down a bit so now your back hurts the whole time!

Sun, 12 May 2013 11:00:27 -0400

I am 18 and 6’1” and I want younger girls to know about my experiences growing up taller than everyone around me! The summer before 7th grade, I had the infamous growth spurt and was mortified to return to school in the fall and find that I was now taller than all of the boys. If any of you younger girls are going through the same thing and think that you will never find the right guy for you just because of your height, let me tell you… it’s been a blessing! I never had a boyfriend until my senior year of high school and I’m proud of it. The longer you wait for something, the better it is. Although that relationship didn’t work out, I’m now in college and falling in love with a 6’4” football player! So remember girls, that perfect tall gentleman is out there waiting for you, you just have to be patient. Don’t get discouraged like I did, because I couldn’t be happier now and wouldn’t change a thing about myself or how my life has turned out because of my height. :)

Love your height!

Hi girls!
I came across this blog while searching up “tall girl problems” on google and I just want to say love your height, cherish it!
Throughout my childhood people always noticed my height and they will always tell me I should either model or play basketball. I never took that into consideration until now.
I want to model and I’m 5’10 and growing. I never really felt insecure about my height, but I did get made fun of. Jokes like “giraffe” or having a long neck that can extend to outer space, lol. I love being this height and I even hope I grow up to be 6’0. Now, I’m very inexperienced with heels, but I’m willing to wear them for my upcoming career. Anyways girls, love your height. Don’t worry about the guys falling for the petite girls. They’re plenty of men right there that like us tall women :) Love yourself

Embrace your height and where I buy my pants and jeans.

Hi Kendra! I see where you are 17. Stay strong girl!! I am now 28 and 5’10” and I wouldn’t have it any other way!! It was strange in high school because I was (and still am after going to my 10 year reunion a few weeks ago) taller than the majority of men and women in my class. BUT, once I got to college, most guys do not care that I am tall, in fact, they love it!! I also wear heels almost ALL of the time, so I am usually at least 6’2”, depending on the height of the heel. Just embrace it and stand tall, there is nothing you can do about it anyway, so just enjoy it. I can gain 10 lbs and it doesn’t even show. :)

Now that I’m off my tall girl soap box, onto jeans and pants. New York and Company has nice dress pants and the talls are usually perfect. If I want extra length for heels, I just get a pair with a wide hem and let it out. Then they are perfect. I get a lot of my jeans from Victoria’s Secret. They have lengths ranging from 30-36, depending on the pants. Alloy.com has lots of jeans and pants in long lengths as well…I believe they go to 37”.

Hey! Not really a submit, not sure where else to put this. I wanted to say thanks so much for this blog, I am 5’10 and still growing and I used to hate it. I now feel incredibly confident in my height and am proudly wearing four inch heels to my school formal in a month and I love how tall I am.

I know many people will probably slap me in the face for this, but I’m 5’5 and I always...

I know many people will probably slap me in the face for this, but I’m 5’5 and I always feel soo tall….Is this classified as tall, short, or average?

Average. But welcome :)

Happy Mother’s Day to tall girls and their tall moms!! I’m the exact same height my mom...

Happy Mother’s Day to tall girls and their tall moms!! I’m the exact same height my mom was—5’8”. She was always proud to be tall, and so am I! :)

Tall girl, short boy.

So I’m 17, 5’10’ my boyfriend is 17 5’7’-‘8’ & we have been dating for 5 months. We get people looking at us and laughing all the time. We love each other way too much to even care what people think. It’s taught me a lot about myself, I was worried we would have problems with certain things and dealing with the height but everything worked out great. In all honesty, I was scared to hold his hand in public because people said things, now I’m proud to hold his hand. I don’t care what the world says, we’re in love & yes I may be taller but if you truly love someone, does their height matter? Because in the end the worlds opinion shouldn’t affect your happiness!

I was so fuss & I just wanted to find a tall boyfriend, but he had me at hello.

He finds me beautiful in every way & would love me even if I was short. Who cares about height!

It doesn’t define the person within :)

Wanting to wear REALLY high heels, but when you do, you feel like a tree.

Fri, 10 May 2013 16:39:37 -0400

I love trees lol

Wear those heels girl!

In reply to the girl who is tall because of a long torso, so am I! I'm about half-and-half. But I love dresses that tighten a bit at my natural waist, because it makes my legs look longer (:
