I think we can all agree that being 5’3” or shorter is far from a blessing. Daily struggles go way beyond being made fun of. Just imagine what a whole day would be like if your height just got in the way of literally everything—getting dressed, cooking, shopping, driving, walking…the list goes on and on.
1. Always having to stand on the countertops to get what you can’t reach
2. “You’re really short”
3. You always have to sit in the front row because sitting behind the 6’5″ football player isn’t going to work out
4. Having to cuff every single pair of pants
5. “Do you shop in the kids section?”
6. You can never keep up with anybody because of your short legs
7. Step stools are your BFF

9. Never being able to tell whether a shirt is really a shirt or a dress
10. Having to adjust your car seat after someone else has driven it

24. They also like to call you “cute”
25 … and “shorty”
26. You have to look up to everyone
27. You always have to wear heels when you go out
28. “What are you, like 12?”
29. People think it’s funny when you’re mad
30. Gaining any weight is noticeable
31. It feels weird when you wear pants are the proper length, because you’re used to them being too long
32. Middle schoolers are taller than you are
33. To hold hands with a tall guy, you have to bend your arm at the elbow and aim up
34. Everyone wants to “put you in their pockets”
