And they don't want to feel like they're bigger than everybody, including the boys.

The Laura Dowling Experience

And they want to wear the same clothes that all their little teeny petite friends wear.

The Laura Dowling Experience

are wearing and it's one of the hardest things is to try and help them negotiate through that and find themselves and be proud of the fact that they are tall and accept the fact that they are in inverted commas slightly different from all their mates and they're not going to be able to wear the same things as all their mates are but in the end I think it's an advantage oh absolutely it's a huge advantage when it comes to

than standing up for yourself as a woman.

The Laura Dowling Experience
#169 Barbara Scully | The Things They Don't Tell You About Getting Older

You know, I think it's much harder if you're smaller because you have that, the whole power differential is so much greater than when you're trying to stand up for yourself, be it in work or be it in a situation that might be slightly dangerous.

The Laura Dowling Experience
#169 Barbara Scully | The Things They Don't Tell You About Getting Older

The Laura Dowling Experience
#169 Barbara Scully | The Things They Don't Tell You About Getting Older

You know, if I'm going to be kind of standing out, well, I might as well go the whole hog and kind of be focused and all the rest of it.

#169 Barbara Scully | The Things They Don't Tell You About Getting Older

So, but yeah, no, it's good.

The Laura Dowling Experience
#169 Barbara Scully | The Things They Don't Tell You About Getting Older

I wouldn't swap it now.

The Laura Dowling Experience
#169 Barbara Scully | The Things They Don't Tell You About Getting Older

And I've never worn high shoes, which is great.

The Laura Dowling Experience
#169 Barbara Scully | The Things They Don't Tell You About Getting Older

I've always worn flat shoes, which is wonderful.

And your legs are so long.

The Laura Dowling Experience
#169 Barbara Scully | The Things They Don't Tell You About Getting Older

They're fabulous.

The Laura Dowling Experience
#169 Barbara Scully | The Things They Don't Tell You About Getting Older

Well, they're not fabulous.

The Laura Dowling Experience
#169 Barbara Scully | The Things They Don't Tell You About Getting Older
