HI I was wondering why something always happens to me I'm 13 and I'm about 6'1 6'2 so I'm tall my question is why is it that whenever I go to Physsical Education class in school everyone always thinks I'm good at sports just because I'm tall and I'm not I suck at most of the stuff they make us do I have never been good at sports the only sports I like are hockey,soccer and I mostly just like to watch those except for on certain occasions when I play soccer I love music and I would love to one day start my own band and I consider myself to be smart but sports are something I'm just not good at why do people keep thinking just because I'm tall I'm good at sports.

It's just a stereotype. People automatically assume tall people play sports, mainly basketball. Just try to ignore them and have fun doing the things you like. Just because you're tall doesn't mean you have to be an athlete.

Because most basketball players are tall people automatically assume tall=athletic. I don't think anyone means to be offensive, they just see the height and think yeah I want the tall guy on my team cause he's closer to the net. Trust me, it could be a lot worse.
