I'm no longer the 5'2" that I was in early high school (and even after I hit 5'7", I was the Short One -- I've noticed all my Alaska friends are waaaay taller than my Vermont friends) but having braces and a very young face means that I am still the "Cute One". Ellen's mother actually used to refer to me by that name. Luckily, I have a smashing figure and, if I try, I can definately flaunt the Sexy. But it still takes a bit of effort.
In high school and early college people thought that it was "wrong" when I would talk about sex, when I would curse, when I would discuss cadavers, when I would do anything that wasn't "cute" enough for them. Even now, I still get it sometimes - but only from people who don't know me and don't realize that I am a Bad Ass under the sweet, calm exterior. Ha, how little they know.
Just remember: people will either learn, or they will perish. The choice is up to them.
