Seven Everyday Struggles Of Short Girls

Fitting in small spaces, being the perfect little spoon and being boss at limbo, short girls have it covered. Reaching shelves and seeing over things... Not so much.

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
