Don't wear stilts-they're offensive to tall people and encourage oppression and altophobia. They also appropriate the natural look of People of Height. Think before you dress

Last year during spring break, me and a few of the gals took a plane to New York. To put things in perspective, we're all on the plus-size height-wise, and not afraid to show it, going from 5'11 to me at a luscious 6'5. We've all had a few dirty looks in public before, and of course heard little children ask their parents why we're such "giants". But this time, it was worse: the level of altophobia was sickening.

It all started when, after an exhausting morning of queueing, I discovered that I simply could not fit into my seat: My legs were too long. I pressed the button for the flight attendant, who took could barely hide her laughter at me. I told her there was no way that my legs could fit in. She told there was nothing she could do so I was forced to endure the whole flight with my legs squashed. This severely hurt my knees and I was unable to do any physical activity for a whole week. Why should it be that only short people can sit comfortably on planes?

! The facts below are randomly chosen and may sound silly !

1. I laugh about EVERYTHING. Anything can amuse me. Thats why people consider me as a driveller. 2. I’m altophobic ( I have a phobia about heights) 3. I used to study Japanese on the Internet. 4. My pets are two diamond doves (you really shoud really google those buds, they’re very cute) 5. I am very interested in Psychology, Journalism and Asian coulture (mostly korean) 6. I love reading books! I bring a book with me everywhere I go. Since May I have read 18 books, half of which are in english. 7. I have that skill of learning languages easily and rapidly. 8. I ALWAYS analyze everything (e.g. I ask myself why do people smoke, or why did the lady in the tram act so strange etc.) and create those problems that don’t even exist. 9. I listen to Imagine Dragons and Arctic Monkeys. 10. I think I have a problem with socializing or somethink like that: I dont want people from my past (like classmates from my former class) to recognise me in public places. I get fidgety when staying in front of people who may laugh at me or think stuff about me.
