It's so sad to see people feel they aren't good enough because they aren't thin. The media has shoved it in girls' faces that, to be thin and beautiful, you MUST be no larger than a size 5/6. That is soooo far from the truth. Some of my friends are considered "fat" to society, but they are truly beaitiful and unique people. It makes me mad to see people tormented about being "fat". Just because you wear a size 10 does NOT by any means make you FAT! I am almost 5'0 and I weigh almost 110, I wear a size 3-5. To society, I surely don't look thin and beautiful. But, many people have told me that I am on the inside. That is what I judge people by- how nice they "look" on the inside. What do you all think?

Oh wowsers, do I know a lot about that or what....
Right now for instance, I'm really insecure about the way I look. I mean, I'm not overweight, I look good, but I haven't been in gym class because I wasn't in it last semester and I think of myself as being flubby. It's not the media that's done it to me, more or less it's the fact that I'm not meeting up to my own standards, you know? In middle school I used to run 12km after school 3 times a week and now it's hard for me to run 5km. I'm just out of shape. Also this is the first year that I haven't been in gym both semesters, so that makes it harder as well.
Ugh

I know. I don't think I look fat or anything...I'm very secure with the way I look. But one of my friends weighs 130lbs(she's 13) and she thinks she's fat! And by no means is she. I think she's a very beautiful person. I think it's quite mean when people call other people fat. Who cares? It doesn't mean they're not beautiful.

Yeah, I hate it when girls say that their fat, all because of what other people think. I know this girl who's like-5'9 and weighs 125 pounds, and thinks she's fat. She's NOT! She's tall and very skinny, but she's really insecure about it. It makes me sad, because she's on a diet and everything, and she's just going to become an anorexic (sp?) and I can't talk any sense into her!

I think it's awful how many people (mainly teen girls) are getting eating disorders and everything else because of how concerned they are about their weight. But it's not all their fault. If you look in magazines or on TV, all the girls are like stick-thin. And the people at school make fun of the "fat kids" . I used to be REALLY uncomfortable with my weight. I wasn't really overweight, I just didn't like the way I looked in tight jeans and stuff. I'm still not that comfortable, but I've gotten a lot better. I don't really care as much. My friends, family, and boyfriend all like me for who I am and could care less if I weighed 100 or 500 pounds.

You know, it hurts just as much to be called too skinny, or too think lowly of yourself because you're too skinny. Seeing as I'm one of those people I know how deeply it can hurt you. I mean, I'm in great shape! I'm a long distance runner and I eat healthily I just can't seem to put on weight. I'm kind of distressed about this because people always ask me if I'm anerexic. I'm not. I'm so not. It's just... not me! I'm a total pig! And then at parties and stuff when I'm eating people are like you're too fat stop being suck a pig! So I'm like 'So, I'm an anerexic pig now, am I?' Lol, some people can be so stupid. Oh well, anyway...

I'm almost 5'0 and I weigh 103 pounds. Some people tell me that I'm 'chubby' and other people tell me I look fine. Personally, I don't think I'm fat. I'm completely fine with myself, and I know that weight really isn't that important. I think it's really sad that some people can't stop thinking about their weight or even get depressed because of it.

I don't even pay attention to what's on the scale. I'm 5'1/5'2 and I weigh 135 pounds. You're all thinking I'm fat right? Actually I'm a size 3. The reason I weigh to much is a) I'm a bit chesty and b) I'm kinda muscular too. So don't pay attention to the scale, it isn't all that reliable.

i know. & ppl kept saying how "fat" J.LO is...i mean, she's a size 6; she's NOT FAT, she's SKINNY. & i'm glad to see certain former stick-thin models that are coming out & admitting to being underweight for years just to stay on top in Hollywood.

*Sighs* I *am* uncomfortable about my weight. I weigh 85 pounds, and I'm 5'1 or so. People *peers and even family* made me insecure about it. When I thought it was just fine. Now- I try eating more. I'm labeled as the weak/short/small girl. Some people even say I have eating disorders..oh how people can make you feel. Like I can help it? My body is the way it is. Live with it, don't critisize it.. .

^^^ same here. i'm underweight too, and i'm extremely uncomfortable when people talk about my body. most girls don't realize that the media does not just portray thin as beautiful, but also big breasts. i most certainly, do not have anything in that area. i'm flat. girls who i associate with at school or anywhere else do comment about it and tease me about it (not my real friends. they would never do that to me). i try to laugh it off, but it still hurts. the most beautiful thing about female body is curves, and i don't have any.

Weight is just a number on the scale; it's nothing that we should obsess over. I weigh a lot, but I also know that I'm very tall and have a large frame, and I carry my weight very well. My body is fairly thin, though still curvy. However, even if you don't have that particular body type, there's no reason why you can't be happy with how you look. People can be beautiful whether they're fat, thin, tall, short, curvy, muscular, etc.
