“People at school make fun of me all the time”
“They say I’m ugly”
“They say I’m too tall”
“That I’ll never find a boyfriend”
“I wish I was different”
“Other girls are prettier”
“Guys don’t like tall girls”
Since I started tallncurly.com back in 2012, I got many emails sent by young girls who are – to say the least – not happy. These past two weeks alone I got four messages from four girls who all basically asked me the same thing: “How am I going to survive being different.”
I always take time to answer these messages because I can relate so easily, so I did, but then I thought about all the girls who stop by my blog – maybe after they’ve typed “I’m too tall I’ll never find a boyfriend” or “I hate my hair” or “People say I’m ugly” in Google (Yes, I unfortunately often see these kind of terms in my stats) – but who don’t send me a message and who maybe don’t have anyone to talk to. God knows that I know how teenage can be lonely.
So I thought I would create a series of comics to illustrate what I generally answer to these girls, just because it’s the kind of things I wish someone would have told me when I was their age. 🙂
So here’s the first two ones: “High School” and “Words and Cactuses” 😉

Thank you for telling me that I am not alone in this world of blond hair and blue eyes.<3
This is great. And so true no matter what age you are. I love the garden illustration
Thank you Lady ^_^
Presently in college and relating to this so much. It’s so beautiful
Tall and Curly, I love you. Im Elizabeth from Dominican Republic. My english isnt good, but I want to tell u that I happy to read ur blog, because im very tall and im not lonely in this 🙂 when i was in high school there was bullyng, but more bullyng at the streets and I was many sad all the time. Im an adult today and its difficult for me. But I recommend that we the young girls we must take advantage of our height. To be a model or to play a sport, our height is a bonus!
