You can look over crowds of people, ride all the rollercoasters at a pretty young age and grab everyone's attention by just walking into a room. But all free things come with a price. And so does being a naturally tall person. Here are 19 struggles every tall girl faces.

1. Crossing your legs under the table

There's no space. Like none. The bruises on my knees say it all.

2. "Move to the back of the photo."

3. Getting in and out of ANY vehicle.

The number of times I've bumped my head getting out of the school bus...

4. When you think you've bought a shirt... but it's actually a dress.

Me: Look at this cute top! I could wear with a pair of black jeans!

Friend: Um. That's a dress.

5. You don't have a choice between water fountains.

Does the taller water fountain have gum or a dead bug in there? Doesn't matter. If you don't want chronic back pain, then that's the fountain you're stuck with.

6. Hugging your friends (or anyone in general) is like hugging your child.

7. "OMG You should be a basketball player!"

Yeah! And you should play miniature golf!

8. When you don't fit the bed

The sales people always say, "We'll find the bed that'll fit you!" Nope. The truth is, it's we who don't fit the bed.

9. Finding jeans that actually go past your ankles

When you find the perfect color, perfect skinny jeans, perfect everything. And then you try it on. It fits perfectly from the thighs and the butt, and then, you look at the ankles.

10. Bathroom stalls. Change room stalls. Stalls in general.

I swear. One time I went to Panera with my friends, I took a small trip to the washroom. I was as tall as the door to the stall. My friend next door burst out laughing. Privacy? You wish.

11. The amount of space (or lack thereof) for your knees in a car

12. "How's the weather up there?"

IT'S FINE! The weather up here is the same as the weather down there! But hey! Small people means small brains, so I wouldn't expect you to know that the weather is the same regardless of height.

13. "WOW! Look how tall you've grown!" said every one of your parents' friends EVER.

You probably saw your mom's friend last weekend, but this Saturday she'll still come up to you and say, "You've grown so tall since we last met." Unless it's possible to grow two inches in a week, I think you need to see an optometrist.

14. Heels? Forget it. Unless you're Taylor Swift.

5'10" and rocking the stilts.

15. Taking a selfie? HAH! Who needs selfie sticks when you've got your arms?!

I should start charging money. $1 for every selfie you want.

16. When people use you as shade from the sun...

To be fair, tall people use short people as arm rests; it's equal both ways.

17. When people need help getting stuff from cabinets and shelves

I feel used.

18. When you accidentally (always) kick the person you're sharing a table with during lunch

I probably say "sorry" 50 times during my lunch period to the person sitting in front of me... it's not just my knees that are bruised by the end of the period.

19. "Can you walk slower?"

No. You walk faster.
