A girl can put on a cute outfit, solid shoes, and her best winged eyeliner, but one aspect of her appearance that she can't control is her height. If you're a tall girl living in a world of ladies under 5'9, you can most definitely relate to some of the following situations.
1. Looking like a giant when photographed with your (shorter) friends
...and doing that awkward hunch to fit in the shot.
2. Being well over 6 feet tall in heels
The choice between towering over everyone or wearing flats for the fifth day in a row is the struggle.
3. Finding a guy to date who's taller than you can be complicated.
Calling on all basketball and hockey players!
4. This constant dilemma:
No matter how many inches of thigh are visible, you own it.
5. Forever dealing with people commenting on your height
No, I don't play basketball. No, I shouldn't model.
6. Always being asked to reach things on high shelves
Ever heard of a step stool?
7. Shaving your legs is an hour-long ordeal
So. Much. Ground. To. Cover.
8. You're never able to borrow your friends' clothes...
Unless, of course, you're looking to wear one of her sweaters as a crop top.
9. ...and shopping for pants requires hundreds of trips to the fitting room.
There's also a 95% chance that some part of your ankles will be exposed.
10. Never being able to cross your legs at the desks at school.

11. You've accepted the fact that your head will never make it into the mirror with the rest of your body.
An acceptable mirror pic requires extreme coordination.
At the end of the day, tall girls may have it tough, but their killer legs and undeniable presence more than makes up for it. Own the heels, work the ankle cleavage, and do your thing, ladies!
