Do what you feel is comfortable, don't worry about them, you dont' have to empress them....if it makes you feel better just keep a t shirt on...or just wear the two piece and who cares what they say or think, be confident, you can fake it...God bless

As a mom to a girl who is your age, I think you all sound pretty normal to me!  I don't think that girls your age should be so obsessed with your weight!  Sweetie you all are still growing, and your bodies will continue to change for a few more years!  My best advice to you would be to let nature take its course, and to eat healthy and stay fit!  If you are good to your bodies, they will be good to you!

I'm going on 38 next month but beleive me, i know how you feel, i have been heavy my whole life, i never felt liked, endured cruel jokes and felt i would never have a boyfriend. Girls and women are expected to look like everyone else on TV, its always the thin models that get the main roles in movies and chubby women are shoved to the backburner. We need to realize and believe that looks dont mean ANYTHING AT ALL, if guys are only going to like you because you have a nice body then that tells me what kind of person they really are, a JERK. You have so much to offer in this world, dont let anyone tell you otherwise! You are a special and unique person. Please just be yourself and stop comparing yourself to others, it takes all shapes and sizes in our world. Please enjoy yourself while you can and put a smile on your face, thats what will trully draw the right ones to you. For me i choose swimming to keep myself as healthy as possible, its easier on your body and burns more calories than any exercise you do out of water ( i was told this by a swim instructer ) and best of all its FUN. I know its hard, i dont mean to go on and on but i just want you to know your not alone. God Bless you.

Cheer up! There are lots of us that are like you out here. When I was in college I obsessed about my weight too. I was 5'7'' and probably maxed at about 180lbs. I liked to dress cute and I hated that everyone else was thinner.\n\nI really can relate. Here is the solution. It worked for me...and I think it will work for you. \n\nFirst, get away from all the thin people. Stop looking at the magazines and glorifying all that is thin. Eventually you will see that weight and happiness are not the same. Then work on your self-esteem.\n\nGet out....exercise and eat.....eat good foods and don't limit yourself. Eat regularly and healthy. No junk food except once a week. Exercise daily at least a little and more than 30 minutes x3 times a week. Hang out with friends that are supportive of your life style change. Never be alone if you are hungry or depressed. Never....even if you have to go to a place that is boring like the library or the gym at night. \n\nRemind yourself that your are worth the effort. And go shopping at Target or Good will or thrift stores. The latter can be quite cool. If you buy your clothes big enough you won't be as bothered by your weight. \n\nDon't give up...you will be fit and happy one day. Being in college and feeling miserable is universal for some...but staying that way is temporary.\n\nGood luck...I know you will succeed. Just remember a chunky girl in college is a trim one later in life. (it is the skinny ones that fill out)....

It sounds like you might have some sort of emotional problem and that food is your escape. Try going to counseling. \nIf this is not the case, them maybe you need a hobby since all you do is think about food. You definitely need to change your mentality about working out. \nYou try Weight Watchers you might enjoy that programs since you are allowed to eat what you want and your not deprived. \n\nGood Luck & Stay Strong.

As a girl who once suffered (and still is, mentally) through bulimia and anorexia, I know that telling you all of the risks of an eating disorder and scaring you won't work. The fact that you're scared tells me that you're ready to stop suffering needlessly. Because you ARE suffering needlessly; NOBODY deserves this.\n\nPlease, go and see a doctor, tell your parents, tell a friend, tell SOMEONE you trust about your anorexia! They will not blame you, they will not ridicule you, they will not shrink away from you. If you need support or encouragement or ANYTHING, please don't hesitate to use this e-mail: ohthechemistry87@yahoo.com. Tell someone and be safe. You're stronger than anorexia; you can beat it. Believe it.

CAMILA C.  What a stupid beeyotch you are.  First, get a life.  It's obvious that you have nothing better to do than to submit insipid answers to questions.  Put down that fork full of pork and get out and get some exercise.  Yes, I know you're fat.

Okay, you are a teen. OOOOOOOOOOOO BOYYYYY. You girls and your weight loss, for the most part you don't need it like you think you do\n\nYou are not going to lose 50 lbs by april 2nd and if you try it you are INSANE. It's not worth it, you will just end up making yourself very sick. I used to work in a school nurse's office and those dang girls would make me mad. They would come in feeling sick, dizzy, weak, the medics would be called and they admitted that they had not been eating because they were trying to lose weight\n\nMy advice to you, DON'T DO IT!! It's not worth it. You're young, you're engergetic. I am sure you do not need to lose 50 pounds. \n\nYou want to keep weight off and do it sensibly. Excercise, drink a lot of water, and eat sensibly. Don't go eating a lot of junk food. Let me tell you something whenever people go on these starvation diets, they either get addicted and become anorexic and end up looking awful, they go to hospitals where they are forced to eat, how would you like to have a feeding tube jammed up your nose??? Guess what else, IF YOU DO LOSE A LOT OF WEIGHT BY STARVING yourself or by going on some ridiculous diet, you will gain twice as much in return\n\nHey, it's not worth it, give it up , okay?\n\nI don't like to see people get hurt and the outcome of such foolishness can be tragic and at times even fatal. \n\nMaybe you need to seek some counseling. It really sounds like it to me.

It sounds like you're borderline anorexic.  That's a serious condition.  You can contact a local mental health agency and they have to keep it confidential, even from your parents.\n\nDo it now before things get out of control.  There's probably an eating disorders clinic you can go to for help.\n\nYou can save telling your parents for later when you're ready.

Please tell your mother or another adult how you are feeling. This is nothing to be fooled around with.. Depression is serious business !! You sound like you have some anger issues that you need to work out, and it is not just because your dad asked you to get a rag for the boat.. there is something big inside you that needs to come out,and that you need to work on.. you are lashing out at the wrong people, and pushing away the people you need the most.. You may need to go and talk to your counselor at school, or a trusted teacher. if your are not still in school, seek out a good counselor, or a good group that you can get into..talking out your anger helps.. believe me it does.. You have got to talk it out and not act it out.. acting it out will only hurt you and the ones that you love. and will hurt you physically and mentally.. You do NOT need to become annorexic.. nothing good comes from that.. that will kill you. and life is to short as it is.. You and only you can take care of you. you have got to go and get some help.. Do it now !! Find someone to talk to .. NOW.. Find someone with some training that will be able to help you with your anger and your depression. It will be a long hard road.. but you did not get this way in a days time. and you will not be better in a days time.. So, now is the time to start the journey to a better and a happier and a love filled life.. Blessings to you..

ok first i want to tell you that it sounds like to me you are heading down a road you do not need to be on...first you are to young to be having a serious relationship with any boy.. another you should not worry about your weight when you say yourself you are skinny.. eat proper meals and get enough exercise... do not be so fast to grow up and think about what you are doing and thinking about...think about the consequences of things before you do them... what is the worst thing that could happen if you do this or that??? believe me some teenagers get into far more than they set out to do and end up paying for it the rest of their life...a boy should like you for who you are and what you are inside instead of how skinny you are....i use to be there and just wanted to be thin and i almost died cause of it...just get exercise daily and eat proper meals and try to stay away from junk food ...try to slow down and be young and not be in such a hurry to go all out with boys and things of that natuire.. i know i raised 7 boys and they can go through girls and really they  do not think as girls do.. they just want them for pleasures for a time at least until they are older and more mature...have fun and enjoy your young life and do not make such a big thing about weight...try to be nice , sweet , fun to be with kind of girl...let them know you want respect for who you are.....

It sounds like they want a response from you or maybe they want to make you feel bad about your weight. \nYou should try to talk to them about this and let them know how you feel. If they don't try to change, I'd work on finding some new friends. Friends should never upset you and hurt your feelings on purpose!

your not fat dear.Ever think your mother may be jealous of you a little? mothers can be harsh now a days.  your esteem depends on the person you want to be,not some fallacy someone else has in their mind.if you believe your esteem relies on others compliments,you shall not have ahappy life.
