My height is really starting to get me really angry, for a girl, i guess i am actually TOO tall. Im 15 and im around 5'10'' and every single day someone just has to say something about it and it is really just making me angry the comments and the slurs and juswt everything and its so complicated, its not something small because its not something i can change, people always make fun of me and whenever im with any of my friends i feel so left out because when we take pictures when we have to stand up together i just feel like a giant cuz the rest of them are normal and everyone always makes fun of me. Its upsetting me so badly. Im always known as the tall girl and i just feel so left out I cant handle it because everyone ALWAYS says stuff and i cant ignore it and every time someone does it builds up inside of me. I just want to feel normal. I cant get into modeling etc..so what should i do to make myself feel better about myself? and i dont have any tall friends to hang out with to make myself feel..more fit in. Any suggestions on what to do?

tasuki answered Tuesday December 27 2005, 9:12 pm: This will cheer you up. It's something my short grandmother told me. She said that tall women get tall men, and tall men are the most succesful. When people are mean to me, I look them right in the face and laugh it off. It takes a lot of guts, but once you've done it you'll find you quite enjoy it. Sometimes it's fun to say, "I know you're not really a bad person, and I forgive you for hurting my feelings." just to see them get confused. Or point out that they're not exactly perfect! Another thing I do is write. Keeping a journal and just writing what you're thinking as you think it, not paying attention to grammar or if anything makes sense, is a great way to let your feelings out. Even if writing isn't your thing, this is still a wonderful method. And think about this: when people say that they want to be proud of what they've done, they call it "standing tall". And Lady Liberty is tall, as well. Please excuse that bad example if you're not American. Anyways, people come in all shapes and sizes and we just have to live with that. And many of those people will grow within the next few years. I know a ton of really tall people (like giants!) who were little shrimps just a couple years ago. So...smile. =D [ tasuki's advice column | Ask tasuki A Question ]
kevin1986 answered Monday December 26 2005, 10:50 pm: There is nothing wrong with being my height. I'm 5'10. Since there is not much you can do about it anyway, use it. Play volleyball or basketball. And there are indeed tall models out there. Girls mature faster than guys anyway, you probably won't grow more. In fact, some guys NEVER mature. That's a joke. Laugh. Why do people say shit anyway? You can't help your height. Just say "I'm not tall, you're just short motherfucker". [ kevin1986's advice column | Ask kevin1986 A Question ]

Sporkster answered Monday December 26 2005, 10:14 am: I'm almost 15 and 5' 5", and let me tell you: I would LOVE to be as tall as you.
In fact, most girls would. Probably the only reason they're making fun of you or joking about your height is the fact that they're a bit jealous.
You're so lucky to be blessed with that kind of heighth! If you play basketball, that's great. Pretty good for volleyball too. And guys LOVE tall, skinny girls.
Don't feel left out just because you're taller than other people. They probably joke about it just because they wish they were as tall as you.
jamaicanhotty717 answered Monday December 26 2005, 9:52 am: look if those people are making fun of you more than usual then their really not your friends. real friends would accept you for who you are,what you become, and especialy what you look like. besides no one's perfect!
