Whoever said good things come in small packages never tried living in our society. I am a female a little under five feet, and it is not easy to be a short person in this world. There are many things that taller people take for granted. Most people do not have to think twice about driving a car, yet small people do.

As long as I'm on the subject of being short and having a problem with height, what about constantly having your age questioned? I can't even begin to tell you how many times I have been shot down while attempting to buy a ticket for a R-rated movie. I'm 18 and the age to get into R-rated movie is 17, so what's the problem? The problem is that since I am short, people do not usually believe my age. This a pain when I really want to see a movie, but don't have proof of age on me, they won't let me see it. They think that for some reason I am lying about my age, when I'm not. What really ticks me off is when a boy (who I know isn't 17 yet) happens to be rather tall, gets into that movie and I don't.
