Lol maybe. I went out last night in the wrong shoes and now I'm paying for it. I feel like my entire body has been beaten, especially my wimpy shins. I'm very wimpy in general, but my shins are like......... ultra wimpy. :( :( :(
Aw that sucks
High heels?

If 2 inches count as high.... :( I usually have to wear flat shoes because a) I can't wear my ortho-inserts with most heels; b) I'm already the tallest person in the house.

I don't get a choice :p

I don't care about height. My dad and brothers dwarf me and that never bugged me either. (Dad is shortest at 6ft even!)

Awww noooo! I love high heels but I can't wear them everywhere. I walk like a duck with flats hahaha, I need to have some type of heels.

I care about my height. There are a lot of things I don't like about myself. It's been better over the years though, I used to hate pretty much everything about myself. Yup, I got issues :-X

I hear ya sister. Growing up I was bullied A LOT (still am now that I think about it) and became very self concious about my weight, my height, my disability and my speech. It's horrible to have so low self esteem. I was convinced at 15 that I would never get married and I'd have to adopt children just to be a mom, figured no one would be able to love me. :'(

My body issues know no bounds! Strangely, I had no body image issues regarding my weight until after university. I'm glad I didn't experience that part during my teen years. My teen years were more about excessive facial hair and what to do with it. I didn't have my older sister around to help me with the growing up as a girl part, my mom was hopeless, and my sister-in-law did not give a crap. :/ I also had a bunch of different issues with wanting green/blue eyes and lighter skin, but that's a different story. Thank god for the Internet.

Ah yes and the excess body hair! In high school my "friends" would constantly ask if I was related to apes -.-

That's gross. :( I hope you realized who your real friends were quickly. PCOS is no joke.

I feel you. I was constantly compared to my niece (there's a small difference in age between my niece and me because my brother uh... married young for reasons my family doesn't speak about, lol). My sister-in-law told me when I was 16 that she was "worried" that, because I had no boyfriend by that time, I was going to be 40 and an unmarried virgin.

WELL TOO BAD, GIRLFRIEND: I MARRIED A HOTTIE!!!

Oh I did. My friends then consisted of the smokers (I don't smoke), some potheads (I don't smoke that either), and the outcasts. Which was fine by me, they accepted me so it was cool :)

Tony wasn't exactly popular in high school either, so we're the perfect match ;)

In elementary school, kids would tell me I'll end up dead by 20 because I would have killed myself for being so ugly and no one would ever love me. It was terrible. As I look back now I'm like "WOW.. that was uncalled for, where the hell were the teachers?!" It was sad. And also why I'm so against bullying.

That is HORRIBLE! I am so glad that people are now starting to treat bullying as a serious thing in schools.
