If you're 5' 2" or under, this article is for you. I'm barely 5' tall and here are seven struggles myself and almost every short girl can relate to.
1. Everyone walks so fast!
Often, I find myself walking way faster than I need to just because I'm used to trying to keep up with my friends.
2. At least once a week someone tries to use me as an arm rest.
Please stop. This isn't cute or funny and it makes me feel bad about myself.
3. Tall shelves, cabinets, mirrors, etc. are our worst enemies.
My roommates are constantly putting things on the highest shelves in the house. Also, I can't even use my bathroom mirror to get ready in the morning. (Where are all the petite people houses. How can I get one?)
4. Pants are the struggle.
My pants fit perfectly around my waist but bunch up at the bottom. Or they completely cover my feet. What's up with that?
5. When you meet new people they always say something about how short you are.
"WOW, You're shorter than I thought." Yeah, I know I'm short no need to tell me, thanks.
6. You look kinda silly in the pool.
Everyone else is in the deep end just chilling and you're like, nah I'm good here.
7. Everyone constantly says you look like a 12-year-old.
This is THE worst. Just because I'm short does not mean I am 12 years old, I mean, come on. Do you really think a 12-year-old is going to be going out with friends at 12 a.m.? Also, do you think it's OK to say this to someone? No? OK, bye then.
All-in-all, no matter what I may say, I would never change my height. Being short is a part of who I am and when I'm 60 who knows maybe people will still think I'm 12. Plus, don't short girls have more fun?
