Tall ladies, were you a big girl growing up? I was and it was HELL!!! My parents constantly reminded me that I was never a "Miss Little Thang" my dad said in my face, "There is NOTHING little about you and never will be. You're BIG but don't be ashamed about it." My best friend who is tiny wishes she was my size. No she doest! I was 5'10 by age 11. Students thought I was a teacher or substitute. My parents told me sternly, "STAND UP STRAIGHT/QUIT SLOUCHING!" My dad told me, "You look like a tall girl with a back back. You better stand up straight girl! Stop it!" I got into a heated argument with him. Dad was always picking on me and hard on me.
