How do you deal with being tall?

I’m 15 years old and i’m almost 5 foot 8. I’m probably one of the most insecure people about my height, probably because everyone around me is 4-5 inches shorter. My question is, how do i stop feeling so self conscious with my height?

Answer #1

Are you kidding…Be proud that you are tall… I wish I was tall…I have always been called a shorty….bcz I am only 5”3-4(with heels on 5”4) all the pain I have to go through on heels just to look a bit taller…ugh!

you were blessed with tall genetics, dont feel bad about that…smile & brush it off! If someone calls you names it’s bcz they are just jealous…use that to your advantage…

hope this helped!

Answer #2

ur learn to get over it. i am 5’11 without shoes and i been 5’11 since i was 13. i think u stopped growing and almost 5’8 is a good height. try being the tall stick between football guys in high school..my point is everybody has something there insecure about. nobody’s perfect..some ppl are short and some are tall..not everybody is a good average height. we are ungrateful we point out the negatives things when we should be happy regardless. theres ppl out there whoes missing body parts..

Answer #3

Answer #5

lol i used to be just like the grl that wrote this question till this person said enough and be grateful look at my knees (He was in a wheel chair just his knees were the only thing there..his legs are missing. c now i realized it u wont till u meet someone like i did btw, he was my cousin friend who used to hang with us but when i used to talk he couldnt take it anymore since me and my friends would complain “my hair isn’t good, my legs are to tall or to short or my arms or flabby…

Answer #6

You wait. Give it a few years, and you’ll be very very happy with the height. The guys will have grown at that point. And you can just laugh at the females who have to wear heels to get to your height.

Answer #7

i’m 5’8” and a half if everyone was the same the world would be a boring place

Answer #8

lol so true!

Answer #9

i hear what you are saying and would link a video i rem seeing on my friends site of a guy that neither hands nor legs, to see the things he did would make your head spin…he lives btw a more active life then i do…and you do put together…(w/o even knowing how active you really are!)

simply brilliant…and very motivating…would take your breath away! too bad i cant link it…takes too much to upload to my comp & then upload to the site…but hey its the thought that counts! ♥

Answer #10

I used to be the tallest pupil in primary school, out of the girls and boys. I used to get called lanky alot but then people started growing fast and I just seemed to stop. lol. But now I wish I was a bit taller, it has its advantages sometimes and so does being short, or fat, skinny, athletic or pretty. Use it to your advantage and learn to love yourself.

Answer #11

True. It’s like I have built-in high heels!(:

Answer #12

Okay, nobody is perfect. Some people are too short for instance. I know a lot of people who are tall and short. It’s just you need to deal with it, is what I’ve always known. Instead of looking at it in negative idea, then it will be negative. I take my height (about 5’6) and deal with it. It’s the average height. Some ppl r above average. Anyway, look at it as a positive idea, not negative :P
