Insecure
My friends have insecurities,and I have a few too. Help? I could really use some!!!
I know this is really personal,but,well,my friends and I aren't the skinniest things. I'm around 110 pounds,and my friends are around the same. I know I'm not THAT fat,but when I look at the girls around me,they're all super skinny! Like twigs! I can't help but feel insecure about myself. No matter how hard I try to work-out,it never pays off! I am against make-up but,I don't know what to do,because I always see girls that have perfect skin,and are like 50lbs. Each. Do you understand how I feel? Can you help? I don't know how to feel,because other people make side remarks about how skinny they are,and will say things about how other people are fat! One time my friend-let's say her name is Ashley- her mother was talking about how the little kids get to eat first in Elementary school,because her brother is a first grader,so she said,"It's because they need to eat, they have smaller tummies!" So Ashley said,"We have little tummies! At least I do..." I was torn between telling her off,and ignoring it because her mum was there,but I know what she meant. I was the only other person in the room,and her brother and her sometimes call me 'Fatso!' Is 110lbs fat? For a 4th grader? I also feel like a 7th grade girl stuck in a 4th grade girls body! I seem to be more 'Developed' than my friends. I am way taller than them,and already have to use bras and deodarant! Is that normal?
Please help!!!!!!

I know how you feel! I'm 104lbs I'm twelve years old. When I look at the other girl in Middle School, I feel so 'Insecure'. Me and my friend Jenna go to the Welness Centre in The Pas, MB. I work out five times a week and twice on the weekend. So far I've only lost 5 pounds. Sigh. I know your pain! My mum keeps on telling me "It's a part of growing up and puberty. Your just filling out just wait". It bugs the crap out of me! The upside about it people don't tease me about it. I feel your pain.
I know so right im about 160 i look less thoughh and i know that my weight is okay for 7th grage friend me im 13 not 20 excuse my profile :)
Of course not!!! When I was in seventh grade, I weighed 135 pounds, and people always told me that I should lose weight, but I just looked at them confidently and told them I'm perfect the way I am. And look at me now! No matter what anyone says, your perfect, just the way you are :D
thank you,both of you,that makes me feel better! =)
I know that Ashley wasnt me...cuz thats my name, but beside the point, you shouldnt feel insecure!! =3
Nooo! it's all ok!!!
lol, I'm 16 and I weigh about 120 pounds. xD Still losing some weight, but if anyone thinks I'm fat (especially for my height), they're an idiot. :/
If you're 50 pounds, you are pretty much dead... xD 110 pounds is not fat at all, in fact that is underweight for me anyway (for my age and height).
And don't worry, you are perfectly normal. I devolped very quickly too, at the age of just 12 and I had completely finished puberty at 14. As a result of growing super fast, I... (continued)
...got a bunch of stretch marks that I am very self-concious about. I know they are 'normal', but the fact I have them almost everywhere and being so young makes me feel abnormal... I have them on my upper left arm and on the back of both upper arms, on my boobs, all over my lower sides and some on my lower back, behind my legs, on my knees, EVERYWHERE on my thighs, inner thighs, hips, everywhere... And quite a few on my butt too. xD Overall, it makes me feel... (continued again)
...that I have an old woman's body already, and I am only 16. But no girl is happy with their bodies, not 100% happy anyway, not even models. And the reason being is because the media is constantly throwing images at us of perfection, what we are supposed to look like to be 'beautiful.' We are all supposed to be a size 0 with flawless skin, but is diversity really that limited? No. Which just makes it seem really stupid if you think about it.
That's the end of my rant... Mostly. xD
Just have a few more things to say, people you see in magazines are ALWAYS airbrushed, believe me, even the men. I often feel like a lot of girls around me are skinner as well, but I am shocked to sometimes find out they actually weigh more than me. And you really don't want to look like a twig, it is just as unhealthy as being overweight, it is NOT attractive, you die young and you have really s*** health.
No one finds anyone attractive who looks like a skeleton.
thx,that makes me feel mildly better! =)
nice
don't worry about it. You're not fat! as long as you are comfortable being you than that's great. I had your problem too. What helped me is trying to be truly me and not what others thought of me. It'll help
;D
