Your opinions on height discrimination / Heightism Have you been discriminated because of height? If you don't know what heightism is, then you can read about it on here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_discrimination; http://www.thecord.ca/height-discrimination-a-concern/. I honestly didn't even know it existed, that is because it really isn't something that's talked about. It's very easy to notice it once you keep your eyes open for it. After I found out, I've realized that I have been discriminated because of height. Many people feel self conscious about their height, I have never really felt self conscious about it or at least not much. But it's annoying that there are people that seem to look down on us shorter people.. (<-- Literally.. lol ) My opinion is that heightism shouldn't exist in modern society then again there are a lot of worse things that exist anyway but I still believe it's stupid. Especially since height is not something you can change, so judging someone based on their height is pretty naive and some people seem to be a little harsh. I have been discriminated against because of height, but I didn't think it was because of my height but I would rather have thought it had something to do with me as an individual. I didn't really know that people were being discriminated against because of height but I have been reading a little about heightism and apparently it is real and it's a problem in some cases. You can see it everywhere, sports, business, dating, movies and even in advertisements. So I decided that I would create this topic to let people know about these shenanigans. Of course there is no way to stop it, it's in our primitive nature I guess but still who knows maybe this will change how some look on it. I'm sure that there are no people on here that discriminate either very tall people or short people. But because new topics are fun, why not make one. So what's your opinion on this? Have you been discriminated for being either too tall or short? You can share a story about it if you like.

Who would you be in forum school. So the whole forum is now a school, who would you be at that school. The idea is to choose from some high school stereotypes. Who would you be at that school, just imagine a school that has members from the forums in it. You should choose it based on your persona here, not in real life or if you want to do so, then that's fine too. I think I would still be a geek or a nerd maybe a mix, doesn't matter if it's in real life or in a forum school. I would just be on my computer reading fanfics, like I already do. In forum school I drive a Lamborghini Aventador.. The point of this thread is just to have fun. Don't limit yourselves to the high school stereotypes, just discuss how forum school would be. One thing is certain, it would be the best school ever!
