The new Netflix movie may have a cliche plot and message, but "Tall Girl" accurately displays parts of this (6 feet!) tall girl's high school experience. Watch the trailer here!

A nice guy is about to ask you out...

until he realizes that you are much taller than him.


PSA: There is nothing wrong with a woman being taller than her man!

"How's the weather up there?"

Haha. Like I haven't heard that one 70 times today.

Tall girls have short(er), spunky friends who often come to our defense in BIG ways

We'd be lost without them!

Finding fashionable clothes

It is very difficult to dress our oddly proportioned bodies in clothes that make us feel comfortable. Shopping with friends of society's "average" height is very frustrating and difficult.

Most tall girls don't want to date a short guy

It comes back to societal standards. For our entire lives, we struggle to fit in with society's definition of "feminine" because we are so tall. Insecurities often cloud our judgment in life, relationships and more.

The frustration of tall guys dating short girls

Come onnnnnnnnnnnnn

Being labeled "The Tall Girl"

You could be great at everything in the world or leading a project that you are passionate about, but no matter what the first thing that comes to someone's mind about you is, "Oh she's the tall girl."

People try and make you feel normal

But as Jodi (the lead in "Tall Girl") says, "Every time you try to make me feel more normal, you just end up making me feel more of a freak."

Now is this movie a perfect representation of what is it like being tall? No. But it does cover a lot of recurring themes in the lives of tall girls!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
