I stand tall at 5’8″ and while by no means am I an Amazon-woman, I’m taller than most of my friends and the people I’m around. I love being tall, don’t get me wrong. It definitely has its benefits, but there are some things that just totally suck about being tall.
I generally can’t wear heels around guys unless they’re really tall. Finding pants that are long enough is a nightmare. My knees are constantly hitting things. Some days I just wish I were a few inches shorter.
Here are 10 of the worst things about being tall:
You always have to stand in the back of group pictures.
It’s almost impossible to find shorts, skirts or dresses that cover your butt.
People always say this.
Your friends ask you to wear flats out.
This is how you feel when you hug anyone shorter than you.
And this is what it’s like standing next to anyone shorter than you.
Your friends can’t reach anything so they always ask, “Will you grab that?”
Your knees hurt when it’s cold or raining.
Airplane and car seats are just way too cramped.
You’re frequently called a giraffe.

So, I get kind of infuriated when I see girls that are shorter than 6 foot bitching about being tall. You have no idea. I’ve been 6 foot 3 since I was 14 and not the skinny kind of tall either. 5 foot 8 is not tall, like at all, its still shorter than the average man. TWO INCHES shorter. Just. Stop.
seriously i would kill to be at least under 5’9. So as i sit here..a 15 year old girl being 6ft tall..i wonder WHY THE HELL WAS I BORN THIS WAY
Yes being tall has it’s problems but it is nice sometimes. But not when you’re looking down on adults 3 times your age or at some of your friends ( including boys older than me)
Hitting lights, and exit signs.
Goodness gracious! I’m 13 and I’m 5’7.5 and growing.
I’m giant and not in the thin way. I’m about 165-175 weight range and all my fat goes to my thighs and stomach. But I suck it in and wear good jeans so I guess I’m okay…
I’m more of a tee and jeans girl. ;L
all of my fat goes to my tallness and i am not fat, so im good.
I am very tall for 14 (I’m 1.77cm) and it really pisses me off at times like these gifs, its just so annoying

I’m 6’1, so yep, i hate that i hit my head on buses, cramped in some of my friends cars, size 11 feet, cramped at some desks at school, and not to be superficial but never had a bf taller than me and alot of guys dont date taller girls. But I did love how i was great for my modeling school, my height made me stand out at a concert, so i could wave to lupe fiasco and he could wave back! I also like when my friends ask me to grab something, and whenever else my height comes in handy! I guess its good and bad
As a tall girl at 5’10” I can agree with this list. I do have a couple more to add though. My height is actually more in my upper body than my legs which makes sitting in most small cars difficult. My head touches the ceiling, and if I’m in the back I basically have to tilt my head or duck the whole way. Another issue is that I am completely unable to use the sun visors in cars when I’m driving because it blocks my view entirely. I just get to be blinded if I’m driving into the sun. My biggest issue with my height is that both my parents are much shorter than me. My sister is too. So I look even more like a giant, and everyone always wonders where my height came from. However, I love being tall because never having to strain to see over people at shows, movies, sporting events, etc. makes up for all the annoying parts.
I stand at an impressive 5 foot 10 for my age and so many people make fun of me. First, I hated my height, but their are so many good things!
If I gain 10 pounds it spreads through my body because I am taller, so I look thinner.
I have long legs.
I love getting compliments .
People are jelous.
I am more powerful.
I could be a model!
Bad things-
No heels, but I love to wear them!
You have to awkwardly stand crouching down to be the height of your friends.
All of your skirts are too short, or they look to short.
You are a size bigger, so your legs can be covered in pants.
Thanks for reading!
As a 5’11″ girl, yes this is all true! Way to make me laugh, it can be hard sometimes to joke about my height… It’s a bit of a touchy subject what with everyone commenting on it and it being point out all the time. As I’ve explained to other people, I don’t want to be short, I just want more people to be tall with me!
