As a person who has always been vertically challenged, I was always looking for a way to boost my height. Wearing heels, stretching every morning, and eating all of my vegetables were all ways in which I attempted to become taller. However, as persistent as I was, my height stubbornly refused to increase as dramatically as I desired. Nevertheless, I was growing, albeit gradually. Needless to say, I was surprised one day when my mother remarked, “Wow, you’re getting so mature! You’re even taller…

One of the most prominent things that I have realized from my first month of college is the importance of all the small things. Details have been essential for everything and everyone I have come into contact with, ranging all the way from what assignments I have due, to the hours of the dining halls. These first weeks in my freshman writing class we have held discussions on the most random—and what I believed to be at the time—irrelevant subjects. These discussions were just the opposite. After…

From the clothes I wear to the activities I choose to pursue my height often plays a critical role I tend to overlook. Being tall whether I asked for it or not has played a key role in shaping me into who I am. There are many responsibilities that come with being tall. After all people do look up to you, so it is important that all…
Jade's kick was swift, hard, and hit it's target perfectly. And what was the target? Vriska Serket's balls. The troll bit her lip, trying not to scream as Jade's stocking covered foot slammed into her testicles, pinning them against her own pelvis. The thin panties Vriska wore doing absolutely nothing to stop the pain. "Now what do you say Vriska?" Jade asked, her voice just as kind and sweet as ever. How she could keep that tone while throughly dominating her was something Vriska could never…
Prologue Unknown POV It happened so suddenly you know. My life wasn’t the best out there but it was something. I had friends even if it was just two people.

I wasn’t bullied too much in school. In fact most people pretended that I wasn’t even in the same room as them. I was happy because my life could have been worse. I…

All people get taller as they get older even the shortest man in the world who is only a mere 21 inches tall, that's not bigger than my dog (miniature schnauzer) or two of my shoes together. But, even he grew maybe not a lot, but he grew. We human grow some faster and some slower than each other, and I am a very tall kid for my age.

Chlopolean At my physical this year my doctor confirmed what I already knew deep, deep down in my heart of hearts: I’m done growing. I’ve seen pictures from when I was born, and even then I was tiny. Still, I’d never really thought about my size much until I was about eleven and I realized that I was the only one in my class still wearing clothes from The Children’s Place. I had always just assumed I’d catch up to my peers. My mother and father are 5’8 and 6’3 respectively, and they too had…
