A teenager, 6ft 2ins tall in bare feet and 6ft 7ins in her favorite pair of heels, has clapped back at her bullies who made fun of her height in the best way possible: by pursuing a career in modeling.

Nineteen-year-old Aeva Andersson was called a "monster" on many nights out with friends because of the way she towered over everyone else around her. She said that she was told her modeling career would never work out when she was just 13-years-old because she was considered "plus sized".

Aeva told the Daily Mail that she "always" wears her heels when she goes out at night with friends and that she has learned to embrace her tall figure. She is also determined to show those who doubted her that she can be a model after she was signed up by Models of Diversity. She said that even though initially the bullying "shattered" her confidence, she now realizes that it is her height that makes her different and is also the reason she was signed by the agency.
