Sometimes being tall and female can be a struggle. For example, people seem to be of the opinion that girls should be short and fragile, mostly due to sexist ideologies. And in addition, sometimes it feels like every single clothing and shoes company is against you. What's a girl to do? Well, find other people who relate! Here are some of the struggles that a lot of tall girls can relate to:
- People commenting on your height.

Whether it be just “Wow, you’re taller than I expected!” or “How’s the weather up there?”, there are no shortage of comments when a girl is tall! - Having to stand in the back of group photos
![]()
When people say “let’s take a group picture!”, you automatically flock to the back. It’s become a reflex at this point. - Low ceilings.

As if you needed another reason to feel tall (and possibly hit your head). - High fives with shorter people.

Having to lower your arm/make them reach higher up is always a struggle. - Being the one to reach for the top shelf.

“Hey, I can’t reach this – can you get it for me?” - Always feeling kinda bad about standing in front of people at events.

“Sorry, are you sure you can still see?" - Being asked if you play basketball.

Just because I'm tall doesn't mean I automatically play basketball. - The dress struggle.

It looked so nice on the mannequin, but it's so short on me! - The jeans struggle

It's so difficult to find jeans/shorts that aren't too short. We're pretty much bringing highwaters back into style. - The shoes struggle.

When your feet are so gigantic that nothing fits them except, like, maybe one rack of shoes. And some stores don't even sell your size. - Seeing how tall girls are portrayed in the media.

How many times have people talked about Taylor's height? Too many, honestly. - Realizing that while heels may be cute, they make you even taller.

And then having to decide whether it's worth it to wear them for prom or not. - NOT. HAVING. ENOUGH. LEGROOM.
Whether it be on airplanes, cars, trains... somehow, these seats are never designed with you in mind. - Awkwardly having people's heads in your chest whenever you hug them.
![]()
It's always so awkward. Just why. - But knowing that you're super fabulous anyway.

Tall is beautiful!
