Ht. 5'3", Wt. 152 - Do u ever feel pressure from skool? i mean, our winter formal is coming up and so several of my friends (all of whom are skinny) have asked me if im going and i say no and they asked why. Usually i just shrug and say "because" when really i want to scream "BECAUSE IM NOT SKINNY AND PRETTY LIKE U AND I WOULD LOOK SO FAT AND UGLY WEARING A DRESS AND STANDING NEXT TO YOU!" I mean, i know im not that overweight but thats seriously how i feel and its not like i can say that to them cuz they dont understand cuz they r all skinny. So i just thought i would share my woes w/ u guys. Thanx fur listening, and fur understanding!

But I'm gonna go and have a great time anyway, because just 'cause I'm not skinny or pretty like my friends, I'll still have a great time. You get to decide whether you're gonna have fun or not, and although people's actions can influence your decision, it's still your choice.
Reply from Isabella (Izzy), Age 13 - 12/01/06 - IP#: 72.94.76.xxx Hye, I know how you feel, but I've been getting twice at much positive attention form my crush and friends by being confident! You do have a special inner beauty. I'm not trying to sound like Dr. Phil, but seriously. I'm not meant to weigh 100 lbs!! I'm gonna be 145-150, and that's wonderful. You ust have t keep telling yourself how beauitfiful you are, special things about you physically and how you act. People will see you're not sconfident if you're kind of just hagging out whhile everyone's haveing a great time. I actually asked my crush to dance for the first time this year ( I think I was crazy!) and he said yes!! So keep picing yourself up. TYou're beauitful. You're trying to be healthier, and you rock girl! Good luck, and keep going!

Reply from Lindsey, Age 14 - 11/30/06 - IP#: 67.5.192.xxx No, I'm a freshman and I went to homecoming dance with a senior and I was confident. The only thing was I felt like my stomach kind of buldged out but I think I looked good. =)
Reply from erica, Age 16 - 11/30/06 - IP#: 68.97.191.xxx That's exactly how I feel when all my friends ask if I'm going to the Valentine's Dance or the Winter Formal, etc. And I just tell them I don't like to dance. Seriously, no one wants to see a fat girl in a strapless dress dancing. =// So, I'm trying to lose this weight for me, so I'll feel more confident. But I know how you feel. !
