When the plane takes off, why doesn’t the tail hit the runway?

It sometimes does happen. It’s called a tail-strike where the rear end of an aircraft touches the runway. It can happen during take-off if the pilot pulls up too quickly. It can also happen during landing if the pilot raises the nose aggressively.
