I really hate being tall. I'm 6'7, and it's horrible. I can NEVER find good looking clothes that fit me (I'm not an athlete by any means, and I don't dress like a baller), I'm barred from certain activities because I'm too big or my legs are too long (I couldn't go riding go-karts with my friends because I was too big to fit into it, and I've been told I was too tall to ride on roller coasters at amusement parks). Being this tall sucks so bad. Every other person always asks me, "Do you play basket ball?" Beause height must automatically equal prowess at a specific sport, right? The worst part of it is, I'm stuck like this for the rest of my life. It's not like I can get a height reduction. It's not like I'm overweight and I can work off the extra weight. I'm going to be too damn tall for the rest of my life.

Anyone else have height-related issues?

You said it yourself. You're stuck with it for the rest of your life so you might as well deal with it the best you can. Find things you like to do that your height isn't a handicap and do that more. It could be worse, just remember that:)

Being 6' can be a pain in the ass. I can't imagine being 6' 7". That must be a real inconvenience. I usually look down to people and nothing is at eye level unless I'm sitting. Your head must be at a 45-90 degree angle. I imagine that is awkward.

As suggested, play basketball.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. I'm 6'5 and it's frusterating because whenever someone talks to me they're always like "Hey, do you play basketball?" Ugh, it makes me want to pound my head against a wall.:x

I guess it's better than being short, though...

My only problem is instead of playing sports when I was little, I read books and did schoolwork.

Dude I'm 6'1''-6'2'' & still growing & I understand what you mean, I barely fit in desks at school right anymore, not to mention havig to find clothes that fit ((finding shorts are the worst)) because I'm skinny & tall it makes it even harder to find pants. I'm a true nerdy, geek, gamer I don't act like a baller either so I don't wear gangsta clothes or act like an idiot :P

But anyway I understand where you're coming from, I can only image how bad it can get sometimes, it'd suck being as tall as you for me, because my girlfriend is only 5'7'' ish :P

Same with my last girlfriend. She was only 5'4. The girl i'm seeing now is only 5'2. It's kinda.... depressing. Makes me want to break up with her just cuz of that. But i wouldn't really do that, i'm not an ass and i still love her even if she is 11 inches shorter than i a m.

Lmao.

I'm 6'1" or 2" and I hate that whole "Do you play basketball? You should play basketball!" Well, for a start, I don't play aything, but I wouldn't play basketball. I hate it for some reason. I also hate the clothing issue. It's probably worse for you, but I find it hard to get anything that looks good. If I want something to fit my height it usually has a large waist or if it's a shirt it feels really loose. Also, I'm really tall and thin and tryingto get any muscle growth is nearly impossible.

One good thing though is that you have an excuse for looking down girls shirts. Well, you can try and defend it. Sometimes it just happens if you want to avoid eye contact... you look down, and BAMN! There they are. Though, neck problems are common for me.

In conclusion: You can;y do anything about it, yeah it sucks. =/

I totally forgot to address that before, I hate when people say I should play basketball, I tell'em, it's not on Wii Sports so I don't play it :P

man I would love to be that tall. You can reach high things few people can without a ladder, you can see over everybody elses head, although finding clothes must be hard. I guess everyone just has to live with what they are.

No, not really. But, I feel sorry for you though. Tall people usually don't live as long as average height people which is around 5'7-5'8 in the states. Ooops, sorry if that made you feel worse. :(

Well, I was going to tell you to be grateful, but after your examples....maybe not. No roller coasters or go karts? That must suck.

Just try to look on the bright side: would you rather be 5 feet tall and have chicks patting you on the top of your head, or would you rather be 6'7?

Go to a big and tall store for clothes. Chicks dig tall guys. I'm 6'0 and it's a perfect height. Oh yea, and you shrink as you get older.
