Laughed at My Boyfriend Because of His Height – But What Happened in Class and Later at Graduation Surprised Everyone

High school can be a difficult place to stand out.

Sometimes it’s because of your grades.

Sometimes it’s because of your talents.

And sometimes it’s because of something you can’t control.

For my boyfriend, Daniel, it was his height.

He was significantly shorter than most of our classmates, and unfortunately, some students never let him forget it.

At the time, I thought I understood how much their comments hurt him.

I was wrong.
