Tween and teen girls have enough body-shaming and fitting-in drama to worry about.
“Hey, Barbie doll!” my cousin taunted me while we played basketball. “You should be better at this with those legs,” he laughed.
I was constantly humiliated for the stark contrast between my lack of athletic ability and my long legs. I would lie and say I had cramps to avoid running that gravel track. Nothing was more embarrassing than my gangly stems in full view of my peers.
It’s not that I didn’t want to fit in. But I couldn’t dare try to rock a trendy pair of platform shoes which would render my legs even longer. I stuck with tennis shoes, playing it safe. Even if I wanted to try to fit in with some of my cooler peers, I wasn’t going to risk a trip to the school donation box.
