Reply from Jess, Age 13 - 08/20/08 - IP#: 205.188.116.xxx DO NOT EVEN KID ABOUT KILLING YOURSELF. My friend tried to commit suicide, NOT THE ANSWER! Just be patient. It was a vacation. Did you enjoy yourself? did you do things with your friends/family? Life is too good to be spend wishing you were something your not(yet, but will be!:D) Just stay possitive! As for my friend, well, she's really...idk, unhappy. Do a favor for yourself and everyone on this site! Stay positive and be a role model for us. *long, boring speech is over* Thanks!
Reply from Flower Fawn, Age 15 - 08/18/08 - IP#: 71.185.131.xxx Emily, don't even THINK kill yourself; that's not the answer! Plus, you are a valued and beautiful human being put on this earth. Don't throw that away! While genes can sometimes make it hard for you to loose weight (I have the same problem) it definitely IS possible if you have the right attitude and a solid plan. Sometimes we all just get sick of ourselves or want to throw in the towel, but what's that gonna do for you? NOTHING. You will only get unhealthier and heavier and more dissatisfied with yourself. Do yourself a favor and read some of the success stories here for motivation. Also check out the books The Diet for Teenagers Only and Bobbi Brown Teenage Beauty, they are great! Best wishes and just hang in there, we're here for you. ;)
