5 Disadvantages of Being Tall

1. You can reach stuff. 
Be it a high window to clean or a box of cereal, it is your duty to reach it. You're tall, your teacher isn't, so you are asked to come up to clean the board. Duties; duties everywhere. 

2. You are reminded very often. 
"Wow, you're so tall! I wish I had your height." Yeah, I didn't already know that I'm freakishly gigantic, thanks for telling me that. And no, you don't wish you had my height. 

3. You can't wear high heels. 
Being a girl, I am constantly pressured to wear pretty shoes. Unfortunately, pretty shoes are 90% high-heeled. I am therefore forced to look for the 10% pretty flats, or wear heels and tower over everyone. 

4. You look down on people. 
Literally. 

5. Tall people tend to get more attention. 
You stand out in crowds, you stand out in photos, you stand out literally everywhere and stick out like a sore thumb. In photos with shorter folk, you slouch unconsciously. 

Slouching is a disadvantage all by itself. 

But still, stand tall & proud!
