Growing up tall is actually more of a struggle than a person of average height might think. You're under 5'5? So? Us tall gals have problems, too! Besides never being able to find a guy taller than us, we actually face the most annoying problems and questions on the daily.

Below are

1. "So...how tall are you?"

Ah, the most common and basic question there is. I'm 5'9, and no, I do not, nor have I ever played basketball. Or volleyball. Thanks.

2. Trying to find jeans that actually fit

Probably the biggest challenge I faced all throughout middle and high school, nothing was ever long enough. I could never wear the same American Eagle jeans that all my friends wore. Actually, now that I think about it...maybe that was a blessing in disguise.

3. The 'look' you get when you wear heels

I rarely ever wear heels because I always feel like I'm silently being judged by everyone else around. Do you know how many pairs of shoes I would own if I was like, 5'3"?

4. Standing next to your short friend

Let's face it, every friend I have is my "short friend"

5. People always asking you to reach for things

Do I look like a ladder? Yes? Okay.

6. Shower heads

Who knew that a task as simple as showering could be so difficult? Well, when you're 5'9" and can't comfortably wash your hair without squatting down, it's a problem.

7. Being compared to a giraffe

Well, enough said.

8. Wearing under shirts

Because your normal shirt actually resembles a crop top.

9. Finding the 'perfect picture'

Whether you're having to squat down to fit in the picture with your group of friends, or your simply being cropped out because you just don't fit, finding the perfect Instagram picture to post is always a challenge.

Bathroom stalls

No, I shouldn't be able to see over the stall when I stand up, but of course, I do.
