Well you'd be one million dollars in debt. I've cried too many tears over this and I'm out. Thank you all that understand and to the rest of you- I'm glad you had a good laugh- You are not the first at my expense.

"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
Nope! Got to respectfully disagree. When I was a teen I used to pray that I could be heavy instead of tall so people wouldn't call me out every fucking day. Maybe it was different in larger cities but in my hometown it was hell every fucking day. I call bullshit to anyone that has never lived it calling bullshit and again- if you haven't lived it then you don't know what you're taking about on this particular subject so kindly SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Are you fucking kidding me?
I was morbidly obese most of my life until I had weight loss surgery. You can't even imagine what I went through. But you wish you had been fat instead of tall?
F U C K Y O U
Also-there's a time in life when you have to fucking let it go. Life is too short to waste being offended.
F U C K Y OU. No I have no idea what it's like to be morbidly obese and I wouldn't claim to. I do know what it's like to have a heart attack at 19. Again, this from someone who also experienced serious weight related health issues???
It's bullshit to say that tall women face equal discrimination and harassment to overweight women. Complete bullshit.
Bqq- I'm short and I've never been called cute or petite.

You are being fucking ridiculous. Look, it is terrible that you were bullied so much in school. BUT to say that it is better to be significantly overweight is so stupid. I personally feel that I have heard a lot more judgment directed at overweight people (in life, not on this board, people here are very sensitive to weight issues) than I have at tall people.
I was teased in school for being fat and for being tall (I was not bullied day in and day out but there was some teasing). The fat teasing hurt a lot more. I love being tall now but I don't like feeling fat.
Also--I work with someone who is quite overweight. She is also a huge bitch. When we have referred to her as a huge or giant bitch, we really weren't commenting on her size, just her level of bitchiness.

Oh man, this thread. LOL.
While I will never understand the struggle of being tall, I do think Jezebel's comment was a little much.
My college roommate was the same height as PP and I thought she was exaggerating with all the comments she would get. But she was right. People called her things like "stilts". Also, not every tall person gets mistaken for a model. Another friend was told she would be a good linebacker with her height : /
And going off what bonquiqui said about girls being wanting to feel petite, my roommate was heartbroken when a guy she liked told other guys on campus he would "pass on the amazon" because he would rather have a girl he can "toss around". Eww. At her wedding, assholes were talking behind her back, "I can't believe she married someone shorter than her! And she wore heels!"
So PP went too quick to gun-a-blazin', but it is a thing that women struggle with. And it's not something they can change. (And also, like BQQ, I don't want to add to the insanity, but just because being tall may be viewed as desirable by some, doesn't mean it's not an insecurity for others)
I would bet you one million dollars the overweight girls in your high school class would have told you you were dead fucking wrong.

Good for you for anthromajor#studiedthis#for the win. How tall are you? Have you ever experienced this personally? How about walk in someone else 's big shoes "for the win"! (Or shut the fuck up if you don't know what your talking about).
As a fellow over 5'8" (I miss you, Aanc), 25-40 year old...shut the fuck up, blues.

Perfect! So in your own words: "if you haven't lived it then you don't know what you're taking about on this particular subject so kindly SHUT THE FUCK UP"

In my small town, PEOPLE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD PLAY BASKETBALL OFTEN.

Blues really needs to get a grip and let shit go. My gosh. All this "fuck you" because we don't understand her? This isn't high school. No one cares that you're tall or fat or short or skinny. We care that are you acting like a child in this thread.

Is that you Granny? This reminds me of how, any time anyone mentions an ailment/illness they are suffering from, she has/had the same thing. Only hers was worse. Much worse.
She was so upset when my grandpa got cancer and she couldn't "win" anymore. Winning the suffering Olympics was her life's goal, and he took it away from her.

BUT I HATED BASKETBALL, GUYS.
AND I WAS SO CLUMSY.
THEY DIDN'T EVEN TAKE THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW ME.
People told me the same. We could have started our own league! Or whatever it is groups of basketball players are called. Teams? Teams sounds right.

Omg, Blue. FINE. You win.
You are the only person who was ever mocked for what they looked like. Nobody else could ever possibly know what it feels like since we're all short. Nobody here was ever teased for being overweight, too thin, too tall, too short, the wrong color, for having the wrong hair... We clearly have no idea what it's like, so please, continue to tell us to STFU. You are the only person in the history of ever to face these things. And your experiences are worse than everyone else's.

Last visit to the Dr. I found out I'm 5'6" and not 5'7" like I thought.
My whole life is a lie.
Yeah. I recently found out I'm 5'7 and not 5'8. Now the weight AND my height on my driver's license is a lie.
So height is something you can change after all!
A newer nurse at my Dr's office tried to tell me I was 5'6" one day (I'm actually 5'7 7/8", lol). I had her remeasure and she grudgingly agreed I was over 5'7". I might have shrunk a bit due to poor posture* but I sure as hell am not old enough to shrink two inches.
