When I first looked up heightism, I did wonder whether it would apply to taller as well as shorter people. I have a lot of tall people in my family and, like you, they were tall from a young age. Just about all of them have described feeling like they have to shrink themselves somehow and stoop in their school photos.

The only reason I didn’t put any of that in was because it’s not something I can speak of personally — so really appreciate your comment!

As for the bullying, that’s a whole other topic too. I think tall people tend to get picked on by groups a lot? Bullies will do it to prove something and show-off to the hangers on, of course. It absolutely is harmful (I can speak from experience there) and needs to change.

Thanks again for adding something so insightful and I really hope you’ve moved on from your schooldays now.
