HI! Well, the disadvantages of the tall people are , that they get very hard into some places like public transport or cars, into rooms and many others. They also find clothes very hard, and shoes also! the small people I think have the same problems with clothes, and the second problem is, at least for me, they find a partner very hard, when they are too short!

Well, example of situation where i can cite some disadvantages of being a tall and a small person is when you are in a class.If you are a tall person you are the center of attraction in the class while if you are a small person you are not.
Another is if you are tall you will be placed at the back while if you are small you will be placed in the front.

Hi Sparkss, Even i am tall, when ever i want to go for break and no one should know it. i am caught by someone.. you can be seen on the floor from any corner. good thing about been tall is i don't have to struggle to be seen in the photograph. i have also bump my head and also cant sit behind (in the car) as my knees touch the front seat.
Advantage of being short. can go on break without boss looking at you. people think they are school going child. so half ticket. enjoy

As a tall person, I find that I have to duck a lot in low doorways. Got to be careful when I go around. At least I can reach objects on tall shelves. That is one advantage that smaller people do not have. For every good thing in life there is always a catch or drawback. It might be small or large.

I'm a average person with average height. I think being small, you'll walk or run slower, you can't or hard to reach the height others can earliy reach. Bing a tall person, things will be quite better than being small. But like you said, you often hurt yourself by the doors etc. But you can play basketball much better than others lol. I would like to be a little taller if possible.

Hi Sparksssss,
I can give you the lowdown from the short point of view. I am 30 years old and 5 feet tall. Im not going to grow anymore and I am perfectly fine with that. I dont often hit my head anywhere of course, but I keep a step stool in my kitchen, and I have problems playing pool. Another difficulty with being shorter than normal is weight placement. I have always kept myself quite thin due to the short stature, as weight does not carry well. Short people might just have to be a bit more aware of that, whereas tall people have a bit more leaniency.
