Every day, models are seen on TV, and in magazines. Oddly enough, I share one main characteristic with them-being tall. But, is being 5’8 really what is seems to be?

There are many daily complications that come with being tall. Imagine entering a store and seeing a wall of jeans. I go to them and excitedly try to find my size then I realize that they only sell “short” jeans. Doesn’t seems fun does it? But, the problem doesn’t end there. Clothes almost never fit. Being tall means that everything is long, including arms and torso. Long sleeve shirts and jackets can be a nightmare. However, this fashion crisis isn’t over yet. Heels and tall girls like me don’t mix. I feel like a skyscraper hovering over everyone more than I already do.

Let’s also talk about the fact that people have the audacity to say things like, “you’re so tall!”, “can you shrink?”, “I would hate to be your height.”. They remind me of these things almost as if I forgot. More struggles include, me and my long legs can’t fit properly in cars, or even in my own bed, which is suppose to be meant for relaxation.

Overall, tall girls have it way worse than short girls do. The simplest things can be a disaster. Daily stress free tasks can be the most complex things to do.
