There are a lot of awesome things about being short, however, there are also many struggles. Coming from someone that is just barely five feet tall, sometimes reaching the top shelf or finding clothes that fit seems impossible.

3. Your tall friends think it's funny to use your head as an armrest.

4. You always seem to be running to keep up with people.

6. You always seem to need a step stool.
