i have a question kinda unrelated. for those of you who are already in high school, ( i am going in sept) is weight an even bigger issue in high school?? i am thinking about how i am worrying so much about my weight for hs, when maybe it is not as big a deal as i am making it out to be. but don't lie, tell the honest truth. thanks!
Reply from Grace, Age 15 - 08/05/04 - IP#: 64.33.147.xxx I'm going to be a Sophmore and my hugest fear as a to-be-Freshman was that I was fat. I weighed about 160 at 5'6" going into High School. I figured out that nobody really cared except me. All my friend are tiny (5'3" or shorter, 125 lbs. or less) and I always wanted to wear their sweatshirts or get the attention from guys like they did. Well, I was one of the popular people in my class that year. Nobody made comments about my weight. I figured out that its because I have a great personality and I love to laugh. There was this guy who was big (230 lbs) that was extremely popular and not very cute. I couldn't figure out why people wanted to be around him, it was his personality and he made everyone laugh...and not about his weight. No one notices your weight as much as you do. Just have a great personality and make a lot of good friends and everything should be alright.

Reply from Michelle, Age 20 - 08/04/04 - IP#: 12.158.14.xxx being a heathly weight is important for your health. in high school what matters a lot is personality. also in highschool if you are overwieght or not dont complain about your weight. there was one girl i know on the upper end of the normal scale, maybe she was a bit overweight, and all she did was say she is so fat. everyone complained about her complaining, not about her weight. just be happy with yourself as a person. i am in college now and weight matters even less there than it does in high school.
Reply from Marina, Age 16 - 08/04/04 - IP#: 24.215.12.xxx It really, honestly, isn't. The only time I've ever heard anyone "made fun of" about their weight is when they're an extremely rude or cruel person. & even then they do it behind their back. Which is cruel. But let's be realistic. In highschool, so many people are self concious & worrying about themself so much that they don't even notice other people or their weight. It just seems so minor & insignificant. Don't worry.

Reply from Kathy, Age 16 - 08/03/04 - IP#: 67.163.33.xxx Well, I don't know how it is in other schools, but in my Highschool, weight IS a big part in social things. Even though in my school the bigger kids don't hang out with the popular people, it is fairly easy to find a group of friends that will be there with you throughout Highschool. Don't make a huge deal out of it. You will find your place!

Reply from Suzu, Age 16 - 08/03/04 - IP#: 24.42.124.xxx Actually it isn't... I noticed that most people don't care... It depends on YOU. It mostly depends on the personality you have or the aura people get from you. Just be confident and know that you will lose the weight eventually, and the people you meet should stick with you throughout...
