I Am Tall

Am I Freakishly Tall?

By: ryobunkdie

Written on December 10th, 2011

i'm a girl. i'm 16. 17 next year. i guess i'm about 5'5 or 5'6. i've been bullied because of my height n looks. it sucks.. i dont cut myself but i always cried so hard every night n had intention to commit suicide..
in my country, i am like a gorilla when i'm standing next to them midgets. =='

my so-called friends make fun of me,.. all guys snickering when they saw me.. i really wanna punch em on their ******* face..
i dont care what others think of me.. but their snickering n giggling cant keep me off my mind

after primary high school, i moved to another school, MA. the school is well-known and amazed bcuz of it's good grades and discipline n religious. but the truth is, the school is not so well discipline. they always teased me. my mom asked me to move to a nearer school because the distance is too far from my home to ma. plus, my family have a problem with my aunt that i used to spend every week in her house; every weekend, my dad will pick me up from there. and the nearer school is, let say, SM.

SM is known for its bad discipline and badass students.. but good grades. at that school too, my neighbour is in the school.he is in the same school with me in primary highschool. he used to be a quite student. but since he moved to SM, he has soooo may friends and joyful in SM.he and i always being compared.
if i moved to SM, i'm afraid i will become the victim of bullying again..
pleeaaasseee help mee! i would appreciate it so much!

No you're not freakishly tall. I may be a guy but I was 6' by the time I was 14 years old. I'm 23 now and stand 6'10". So no you're not tall.

Wow that is sad. But that's not freakishly tall. I was 5'10'' when I was 16, and I'm still that tall now, as an adult.

Dont worry. you're really not that tall. I mean you are taller that average but not that tall. i am 14 and 5ft 11in. i'm always singled out because im taller than most boys but the only way to prevent bullying is to love your height. Stand your full height and hold your head high. if your really so much taller than everyone else then be confident and intimidate them. ever since i started doing that, no one even trys to annoy me. its really funny watching short people acting all big and tough. whenever someone bullies you, look down at them and laugh to yourself.

Im 15 and 5'10. I would KILL to be your height! Thats always been my ideal height. Shorter girls should date guys who are also short. I saw a girl who was about a foot and a half shorter than her boyfriend. NO. FAIR! Save the taller guys for taller women! Gimme a break, blondy. I wanted to crush her skull...

  hey you must have something with urself that will make u attractive. you should see it as a trait or something that others dont have!
  OMG YES THEY SHOULD. we got the same idea. i wish i could scream right to those short girls' ears to wake up from their dreams!! i've had enough. yeah save the taller guys for us!! i felt like i wanna slap a friend of mine (uhhuh, she's very short) when she bitchy talked "i love that guy! he got the looks n he's very tall! i love tall guys!", n i was like "for god sake, u should date a guy with ur same height.stop bitching around acting cute n all". ugh. short girls nowadays tend to date tall guys, right? when i passed by any tall guys, i'll always think "nah. i dont have the chance. it would be weird if he likes me. maybe he's more attracted to my short friends."
  you're beautiful just the way you are.find a guy with your same height or taller than you. walk on the streets like you n your couple own the world, like two gorgeous models! no sweat, please go crush my friends' skulls too. lol.

I don't know the average height there but I am 5'7 and I don't consider myself tall. If I were you I would tell them to **** off. They are stupid. I was bullied in school too and it bothered me then but now I look back and they are all losers now. Kids can be so cruel. I shouldn't give you bad advice so I will just say that I would knock them the **** out if they made a comment. A nice elbow to the face.

Please don't ever cry for the assh*les whether it is boys or girls who bully around and make fun of you. It is well known that when teens get like jealous from some other kid they do the bulling around, how am i knowing that ha ha :p, see i lost count of how many schools i have been moving from, although i was handling the situation pretty good as i ignore them and smile at the way they keep say sh*t about me or tease me or other stuff. It is tough i know, but hell when you smile and say i am what i am and God created me that way, so i am and will never listen to their talking trash about you. You will feel really blessed and so cool when ignore every fu*king school mate at yours, anyway that is why i have no friends as friends like jewelries need always to be saved and shown in special places, but i am always say kick any *** of the bully school mates and enjoy your life never let anyone of them make your life miserable.

  Gosh! I wish i was there as hell i am good at dealing with these kind of people as bullies need you to step up and say enough is enough, and no one is perfect as they keep bull around you so you don't look harder at them and se their faults to start picking on them. HA HA :P start ignore both teachers and this bulls and start your defensive way start checking their faults and when they push hard on you start mentioning their faults as it is a well fair pay back as they asked for it. Don't give them any mercy as hell do this and will see how everyone will get surprised as you can and will be tough to stand up and make no one ever hurt you taht way.

One thing about being tall, people always have to look up to you!

I was 5'6" at age 12 and never grew an inch after that, at least you didn't have a beard at 15 (or did you!?). Try not to be too focused on appearances though, you might miss out on a great friendship if you are only looking at the outside.

Me too I'm 13 yrs old and I'm 6'9 and my dad is almost 7' i know he's tall and i think my height is hereditary... btw in school people always call me Yao because I'm tall because they say that I'm Yao Ming and i laugh too you know... and the MVP of our varsity team is 6'1 i think and when we pass each other he always compare his height so as the other tall students.

Anyways I'm doubting my height. My friends are like 5'9 and I'm the odd man out when we walk together. All I need to know is that if this height is ok for a 13 yr old boy. The doctors says that it's no abnormality and I just picked it up from my father.

ryobunkdie,

You are NOT freakishly tall I assure you! I am 6'1 and very proud of it. My height has worked quite well for me. Being a teenager is just hard! If it wasn't your height it would be something else. I was called Amazon by other kids and my own family. Your height was just the easiest thing they could see that had an effect on you. If you didn't react to it then they would have moved on to something else. Pay attention and you will see and hear that they tease other kids about different things around you. You do need to own your body and be proud of it. You are not going to wake up short one day because you are not happy. The only way that will happen is if you move to a place where 5'5 is actually short (US). Sooooo many women come up to me and tell me they wish they were tall like me. Everybody wishes they were the opposite of what they are! You need to accept yourself. The sooner you do that the sooner the bullying will stop because they will no longer have any impact. You won't care if they call you names for being tall because you don't care about being tall! Make sense? You have the power to fix this! Good Luck and let us know how it goes!

Don't worry, that's not that bad. I know a girl who's 13 and she's 5'7" and still growing.

Don't let people get to you. No one has the right to say things like that. EVER. Just think, if they're that mean, do you really want them to like you?

I know it's hard. Trust me, I've been there. But try to find something that you like about yourself and go with that. And honestly? ...If you wanna punch them, then do it. Best feeling of your life. I'm not the best influence though ;) may want to forget I just said that.

My advice is to act like the comments don't bother you. Laugh with them and I PROMISE you they will stop making fun of you. And btw, 5'5" is average height if not shorter than average where I live. I barely know any girls in my school less than that. There are tons of girls in my grade that are over 5'8". You are not freakishly tall or even close to it in my opinion. :)

Ps: I'm 5'7" and am constantly getting made fun of for being short. I think they're probably just messing with you so don't worry about it. Ok? :)

Jerry's comments are very true. If you walk, shoulders back, head held high, gives the impression you are a confident person. I'm 6' 3" and have been since I was 16. I used my height to MY advantage. Best of luck! xo

  Aww! You're welcome. I'm glad I made your day. :) Body language is visual cues that you give to other people.
  For example, if your arms are crossed, that means you're defensive and withholding. Or if you walk down the hallway staring at the ground with your shoulders forward, it means you don't feel too great about yourself.
  Look at people who act really confident and how they move. The tend to look up, look people in the eye, have their shoulders back, and don't cross their arms or curl up when they sit.
  And I was picked on when I was 16 'cause I was a total nerd. Big glasses, computers (back when very few people had computres), poor social skills and the whole mess. I grew out of it :)

You're not a freak. You're just tall, and lots of people are tall. And there's nothing wrong with that. Keep in mind that supermodels are usually north of 5'10. There's nothing wrong with your height and you're fine the way you are.

Keep in mind that everyone around your age is struggling with insecurity issues. And when other teens think they have power over you, they'll exploit that mercilessly. I was bullied pretty badly in high school and the lesson everyone kept telling me was to ignore them and they'll go away. That's only half-true. My body language still gave away a lot, people knew they were getting to me even if I didn't say anything.

If you're going to a new school, use this to your advantage because it gives you a chance to make a new impression. Don't hunch your shoulders or shrink down - walk with your chin up and look confident. People may try to poke fun at you a bit, but laugh with them. They give you nicknames, take them and use them - if you let them hurt you then they've won. So you're tall. So what? They're short. Use your height to your advantage. If you're athletic (I never was, but hey) join up with basketball or volleyball, coaches are dying for girls your height.

To repeat myself, you're just fine the way you are. The problem is that teens are cruel and have insecurity issues. So you're surrounded by short, insecure people who gang up up on you so they can feel as tall as you. If you can find that confidence and laugh it off, they lose their reason to bully you.

Best of luck!
