I would class myself as being tall at 5" 11, 15 years old and I am the tallest girl in my school. My two best friends are 5”3 and most of my other friends are around the same height. Someone said on a post I read that tall girls are always mean to small girls about their height.
I think this is totally wrong and some of the comments people said about tall people made me feel quite annoyed. Someone said that tall girls are horrible and they just like to laugh at small people and make them feel insure.
Most tall people feel insecure about their own height, like me I hate being the height I am; I can never find clothes or shoes to fit it’s a nightmare and I hate always standing out. I would swap with anyone’s height who is 5” 5 any day if I could.
The reason why sometime tall people will say something about smaller peoples height is because they normally start it off (it may not be in any case but I have never gone to a smaller person than me and laughed at them.) When I am hanging around with my friends and we are standing up they normally say something about my height like “god why are you so tall” or “Can’t you shrink” or “lanky” and it does really annoy me because I didn’t decided to be my height and I already am self-conscious about my height. So sometime I will say something the lines of “Why are you so small? Why don’t you grow?” I don’t mean to be mean when I say it it’s just the same as what they say just the other way around.
And someone on the other post also said that all tall people seem to be arrogant. I don’t think they are; I am a nice person and when someone says that it’s just stereotypical and not right.
I don’t know any girls my age that are my height so it makes me feel that I’m different.
The only time when I have really heard people talking about height always is the tall guys who laugh at the smaller girls. And when I am walking down the street sometime I hear people shouting lanky, it’s when I’m walking with my brother most time because he is 6”7 but my parents are both smaller than me. But when you see allot of smaller people than I am I don’t shout ‘shortie’ and I never hear that when I see small people no1 calls them.
My opinion is only one sided because I don’t know what it feels like to be smaller than most people in your year because I’ve always been the tallest, but I think my opinion is fair because I also looked at it as not a tall person as well. Even though smaller people can feel awkward in your presence, I never mention anyone’s height unless something is said about me.
What is your opinion on this topic? (Sorry I can ramble on when I get started.)
