The holiday encourages us to fight prejudices about height and refuse to ridicule such people. We’re all equal, and humiliating a person for their height is low and stupid. It’s celebrated on May 4.
History
The story of Petite and Proud Day is devoid of details. The holiday is dedicated to people whose height is less than 5 feet and 4 inches and to all those who have been mocked because of their short stature or excessive slimness. Usually such taunts are common in educational settings, but some people experience them as adults as well.
Let’s find the pluses of miniaturization together. One: You’ll never bump into low ceilings. Second: You can squeeze into small spaces more easily. Third: Small hands allow you to reach into the hardest-to-reach places with your fingers. Fourth: You always have enough room in public transport. And the list goes on and on. Pluses are really a lot. So we advise all people, just ignore the attempts of humiliation and be glad that you are!
