There are some positives to being a short girl, but there are also many negatives. Short girls do have it difficult sometimes, but the struggles that we face are just something to laugh about!
1. Not being able to reach anything on the top shelf
Going to a grocery store, or even reaching high cabinets in your house is a struggle. Being short and trying to get something off the top shelf of the grocery store is not a good combination.
2. Concerts suck
Everyone loves going to concerts, but being short isn't an advantage when it comes to this. We have to deal with everyone being taller than us, so we can't even see the stage or who is performing. A tip to get out of this problem is to just go on someone's shoulders.
3. Pants are endless tunnels
No matter what size of leggings, jeans, sweatpants, or even dresses we get, they will always be too long on us. The most common characteristic of this problem is when the ends of our jeans/leggings get bunched up and hang over your feet. This is not a good situation.
4. Walking three times as fast to keep up with your tall friends
The struggle is actually real. No matter how fast us short people walk, we will never be able to catch up with our tall friends. They seem to be running a race compared to us, and the only way to catch up is to sprint ahead of them.
5. Your chest hitting your friends' boobs when you hug them
This is the one problem we hate. Every time someone goes in for a hug with us, we immediately hug their boobs. If only we could give normal hugs if we were just a bit taller.
6. Everyone thinks you're way younger than your age
Just because I am short, doesn't mean I am ten years younger than my actual age. I already know when I'm at the age of 30, I will be asked to show my ID because I will still be the height of a high-schooler.
7. Your feet never touching the floor when you sit in a chair
This isn't as much of a problem as it is humorous. Every time I try to sit down, people always point out how my feet can't touch the ground. I don't find it offensive because it's just straight up hilarious.
8. Never being able to see over the dashboard in cars
This is always a constant problem. The steering wheel is basically in our laps because we are so short. It's even difficult to see over the dashboard. There is a whole world out there over that dashboard we would love to see some time.
9. Struggling while standing in a pool
No matter how shallow or low the pool is, we will always have to stand on our tippy-toes in a pool. We have to do this so the water doesn't come over our heads, and it's a real struggle to deal with.
As you can see, short girls do have some struggles while dealing with everyday life. Sometimes these struggles are an inconvenience, but being short is what makes us, us. It's what creates ourselves, and we need to embrace the shortness everywhere!
