Teasing the Tall Girls

Hi I'm nearly 15 and I stand tall and PROUD! (5 ft '10' )

I wasnt teased much in primary school because most of my friends and I were the same height and the boys were taller however things changed when I entered secondary school(high-school in America) mainly the reason being that there was a large population of smaller than averages and the only way they could make themselves better is by teasing me with comments like "hows the weather up there" or "whoaa your lankyyy legs" and yes at first I was hurt and upset and my confidence took a seriously downfall.

Luckily though I had great friends and was despite the teasing was popular for being one of the smartest kids in my year,(I excel in maths,IT and political studies)this helped realize that my 'tallness' was another thing that made me, well me, just like my intelligence it is a gift.

AND you know what all this time I failed to see heads turning everywhere I went and short girls starring at my legs with green eyes of jealousy.

So my advice to all the tall beauties out there? You may not see it but you're HOTT and you're you. BE PROUD! Guys tease you cuzz they want your attention and are too cowardly to just make small talk (MEN!) AND girls no matter what they say want those gorgeous legs and lean body.

And by the way the sooner you accept your tallness with pride and open arms the sooner your life becomes brighter, take it from the girl who is currently dating the hottest guy in school whose by the way 17 years old (another 'tall' ADVANTAGE) and has straight A's XXXX
