Im a 5″8′ 16 year old girl, and im fed up of feeling like i can’t wear heels because i tower over everybody else.

I’m taller than my friends as it is, but when i go to a party and what not, i really want to wear heels, i find them so gorgeous, but im really self conscious about my height. Its bad enough being taller than all your friends but taller than guys! Im scared i wont pull if i’m wearing heels because i’ll be too tall. Its just some outfits look naff with small heels or dolly shoes, you need some killer heels. And i have prom soon which im really worrying about because i have to wear heels in it. Im normally a confident person but my height is really an insecurity. Baically, am i too tall for heels? Help?!

No you are not too tall for heels! If your height is an issue for you find yourself a 6′2″ or taller BF. Then you can wear any size heal you like and he won’t be shorter than you. Some guys like taller girls though so don’t fret too much.
Relax and wear what you like. If you are taller than other girls then who cares. And being taller than the boys isn’t too bad either. Nothing to worry about honey just relax and be yourself.

Go with what u want. Tall girls are hot. I once met a girl taller then myself. She walked in heels and she was totally awesome. Way out of my league and she had a BF.
Still i`d give it a go if she had been single.

I am 6 foot and I will heels because I feel good in them. I dont think you should feel insecure about it. Being tall is beautiful. Dont let it ruin you. Find yourself some tall friends…thats what i did to make the insecurity go away. plus you stand out being tall its great. Men love tall women!

Hey, I am exactly your height… and I’ve felt exactly the same way. I also happen to have lots of really short friends… I LOVE heals, they are my favorite.

Good news, Everyone will get taller really fast. I was 5′8″ since the beginning of Jr. High (and stopped growing, luckily) and so I felt too tall for a long time. Now I look around and I feel so “average”… It is odd sometimes, to walk in a crowd and find out you are average, rather than towering. I realized that I was taller for so long, I didn’t realize people had caught up. I realized those boys I found “short” are actually 5′8″ 5′9″, which is my height or taller.

Random Stats:

Average Female: 5′6″ (you’re only 2 inches taller, that’s nothing)
Average person male or female: 5′8″ (100% normal height)
(I don’t know average male height off the top of my head, although I could assume it is about 6′ based on the other two numbers)

(I’m 18 now b.t.w. It changed really fast.)

(oh, and just because you’re still 16, doesn’t mean that you have to wait it out. Get your favorite pair of heals and wear them. You’ll look great! I promise, you notice your height more than the rest of the world.)

I agree! I myself am almost 5′9. I used to have insecurity issues about my height, but there is really no reason at all to! Wear any heels or shoes that you want! It’s fun to be tall :)
My boyfriend loves it too. He’s around 6′ and he told me in the beginning that I was the perfect height for him. Haha..he made such a deal about it! I guess his ex’s were all alot shorter than me.

I am just plain jane but my height makes up for it and also if you are confident about yourself in general people will be attracted to you even more.

Im 6′1″,almost 6′2″, skinny, and 16 years old. I totally feel your pain! Im the tallest girl in the school. & its a big school!! Kinda emabrrasing, not gonna lie. Heels are off limits for me, i stick with sandals and slippers. Ive been told by multiple people to do modeling but being tall is embarrasing. I pretty much am sure ill never find a guy taller than me thats attracted to me. oh wellll!

16 here too, 17 august. i’m 5′8 and hateee it because i feel so big next to all my frinds who are all petite (im talking no more than 5′4) It’s horrible when ii get the feeling of being HUGE.. but at the end of the day, people love you for who you are not wht you are. Sometimes ill wear heels, but if im having an insucure day its flat boots… atleast you havent got broad sholuders. mind you- love my long legs :P

Its ridiculous how much this relates to my feelings also!
Trust me, i’m 5′9 and 16, and have had all these feelings.
Being insecure about my height hasnt helped having such short friends,
but you know, going out, people always comment on me rather than them.
Guys love long legs, so to be honest, if you’ve got it, flaunt it!
Wearing heels can be a bit embarrasing, especially if you’re already tall, but they’re gorgeous and only enhance what you already have!

All in all, don’t be worried about your height, there are plenty of tall guys out there who love girls our size! :)

I’m 16 and I’m 5′8 too.
I used to be really self conscious about my height
But now I learned to lose that feeling of embarassment
and what not and now I feel great.
Besides tall girls look better in clothe than short girls

Im exactly the same height!! But im a year younger… its weird to look around and see a lot of short people, but even though i feel slightly embarrassed of my height, the other people around me can never look intimidating xp
being tall makes me feel kinda powerful, if you’ve got it flaunt it x
wear heels.. !

im 15 and 6 feet tall!
if you think what u have is bad, you don’t. I wish I was 5′8″!
I go to a division one highschool and im taller than almost all the guys in my grade, im told everyday how weird that is.
I try to think of myself as a model, but its hard.
I think you should appreciate being 5′8″, cuz i would kill for that.

i was 5′8″ when i was 16 and still am, maybe now u feel like not wearing heels but when u get a little older you’ll love it, it will make u stand out more, ull be the first one people see, and tall women are always the most beautiful thats why models are tall people like tall women with long legs
