Tall Girl In The School Yard

thats me in college :)

I have always been the tallest girl in my class or even in my case the entire high school.

Being a tall girl can sometimes have its tolls..

I was always teased and ridiculed by classmates.
I was called every hurtful name in the book... sometimes people feel as though its funny and they still do it, but now as a college student I can just sit back and laugh at them.

When i was in the 9th grade the funniest thing happened (it wasn't funny at the time),
was in the lunch line, I didn't talk much and there was this guy, he was as tall as me and I thought he was pretty cute. I was standing in the line and he was right behind me with his 2 girlfriends. I could hear them laughing behind my back (the 2 girls) they went up to the kid and told him that he was my boyfriend because we were both tall... that made him mad so he decided to humiliate me in front of the whole cafeteria by calling me out for being tall, calling me hurtful names such as jolly green giant, lurch, shaq,etc.
Then everyone in school started doing it. But I learned from it to just ignore people... because some people will just always be ignorant.

I'm sooo happy i found this site.. I've been searching for something like this.. whoever made this site is a genius :)
