11 Struggles Tall Girls Know Too Well
Cloudfront

When you are tall, you’ve inevitably been asked "How’s the weather up there?", "Did you play basketball?" or "can you reach up and get this for me?" Being tall has its up, but it also has its struggles. Struggles that short people will never be able to understand.

1.Your pants look like this far too often.

Ladies, it’s a good thing ankle pants are in right now, because we can all just pretend you bought your pants like this purposefully and aren’t actually just a giant who can’t fit into regular pants.

2. This has inevitably happened to you when taking pictures.

Your “normally-sized" friends fit perfectly in the photo, so you sometimes end up just with your head cut off. I mean, at least your outfit is cute, right?

3. People always ask you to reach things for them.

I mean, reaching for things on the top shelf isn’t a difficult task for you at all. It just wears on you after a while.

4. You are a literal giant in heels.

Girls like to wear heels, but for tall girls, it becomes an event. You have to make the conscious decision to wear them and have to ask yourself if you are ready to deal with the comments about how tall you are.

5. Your legs probably don't fit under most desks.

Want to cross your legs under the desk? Not gonna happen unless you want it to lift six inches in the air. Your only option is to sit far away or slouch to the ground essentially.

6. It’s always a guessing game when trying to buy dresses.

Will this dress reach an acceptable length? Find out next time on “I’m too tall for everything I try on.” You most likely end up making this face after trying on your tweflth dress too.

7. Someone always makes a comment about your legs when hitting on you.

You just ruined your chances. Bye.

8. You have been in a shower when this happened.

Well, looks like I'm getting clean and getting my squats in for today! Perfect! Said no one ever.

9. Long sleeves are always shorter than expected.

Long sleeves, they're for you, right? You're long so it’s a perfect fit. Wrong. Long sleeves are about as unpredictable as pants. It looks like all your clothes shrunk in the dryer half the time.

10. People assume you play sports.

Yeah, I do play sports but not because I’m tall, god.

11. Your posture is probably bad.

Whether it's trying to fit your legs under a desk, bending over to fit in small spaces or slouching to appear smaller, your back is definitely paying for it.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
