Shorties unite! Life is tough, especially when you’re vertically challenged. But while we love being fun-sized and accept ourselves for how we are, there really are those undeniable struggles that we petite girls know all too well, from our growing up days to our grown up days.
So read through, laugh along and let us know if you can relate to these! We give you 13 struggles that short Pinays can only understand!
13 Struggles That Short Pinays Know Too Well
13. Those teases as a child.
“Pandak”, “Liit”, “Bansot”, “Dwende”, “Bata batuta”, you’ve heard them all. People need to get more creative in their insults these days. Oh, and did I say “as a child”? It still persists up to adulthood, and you’re basically immune to all of them at this point.

12. People lifting you and patting you on your head without your permission.
Especially when you have really tall guy friends who walk past you and randomly pat your head, like they’re amazed they know someone tall enough to be an armrest. And the lifting! One minute you’re minding your own business, the next thing you know, you’re being hurled into the air and swung around. Pagpapasa-pasahan ka pa. Guys, boundaries? Lack of height does not equate to lack of personal space.

11. You still jump when the clock strikes midnight every New Year.
“18 ka pa lang, pwede pa yan!” So your family members and other relatives console you, while they cajole you into jumping on New Year’s Eve with the rest of your 6-year-old cousins and pamangkins. Maybe there might be such a thing as a New Year miracle!
