Tall or Short
As a lad I was the biggest in the class… and I hated being the biggest.
Team photo, at the back…why couldn’t I sit on a chair in the front, why when my smaller mates caused the same amount of noise/trouble I would get the telling off.. When the little kid fell and cried, everyone felt sorry… me.. I was a big sissy if I cried. The boys two years above me school always wanted to fight me, because I was the same size as them, but not as tough… so I made them look good.
How I wished I was smaller like my class mates…. Yes they got away murder, when they were naughty, cheeky monkeys they were… and all the girls liked the smaller boys as they were funny…. And the older boys didn’t fight or pick on them.
But things did change, I carried on growing, and used my size as an advantage, well I also learnt a few skills too. So yes, being tall from my teens to now I think is better than being smaller.
Did you wish you were taller… or shorter…. Are there more advantages being tall/small ?
