I measure exactly five feet and two inches. My short life has brought both advantages and disadvantages, but some of those disadvantages are too hard to forget. Here are all the struggles short girls know too well:
1. You Always Have to Ask for Help
We hate asking you as much as you hate helping us get the box of cereal on the top shelf.
2. Pants Never Fit
You buy petite pants but you are always disappointed because they are always too long. You end up having to cuff them every time.
3. You Resent People When They Sit in Front of You
Whether you are at a movie theater or a school assembly, when someone sits in front of you the struggle is real. You have to constantly try to move your head on either side in order to get a good view.
4. People Always Think You Are Younger
As a result of being as tall as most 6th graders, people always think you're still in junior high school.
5. You Have to Pull the Drivers Seat All the Way Up
Your legs are too short to reach any of the pedals so your seat is always pulled all the way up.
6. People Are Constantly Asking You How Tall You Are
"Wait, so how tall are you again?" I'm just short. Deal With It.
7. Kissing Tall Guys
Kissing someone almost a foot taller than you results you being on your tippy toes and him hunching down.
