Im too skinny! Even my doctor said so! HELP?
hey, i'm 14 and i had the same problem as you do when i was 13. i think it happens because it's the process of growing up. just don't eat that much and stop eating when your stmach feels full, that's what I do.
My crush told me i was skinny!?! ?
well the skinny part doesnt matter but he was flirting with you when he said dont make fun of me kinda you just need to talk to him or somehting and be kinda flirty with him because he could like especially if hes looking at you to notice how skinny you are and stuff :D
I think I'm fat but everyone says I'm skinny!?
well if you're fat i'm obese, but i don't think that i am. i am 5'6 and weigh 14 pounds more than you, but i am within my healthy BMI weight, although the top end of the safe section. you are also within your healthy BMI, but at the bottom. which means you're definitely fine, although if you really seriously think you're fat and you get depressed about it (and i mean really upset, not just a little bit down about it like all us girls do) then you could be a victim of body dysmorphia disorder (BDD), which if not helped can lead to eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia later on in life. you should do some research on it if you think this is the case. there is a lot of information here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_dysmor... hope this helps.
Am I too skinny for my age and height? Am I underweight?
I am a 13 year old, almost 14 year old girl going into the eighth grade. People say I am too skinny. Am I? My bra size is a 30 B and I am around 5 foot 2.5, and weigh 88-90 pounds. I am ashamed of my body and I worry that boys don t like me because of it. I asked my mom if I was underweight and she said no, that I was average. But all the bmi cauculator said I was underweight, help!
How does skinny-shaming affect people? Do they start seeing them being thin as a problem or something they don't like about themselves?
Skinny shaming has never ended for me. I just learnt to deal with it somehow.I have always been underweight. My height is 170 cm and my current weight is 47 kg. I have never weighted more than 50 kg. I am naturally skinny. I am reminded of that regularly. A new acquaintance within a few hours of talking to me: “Oh you are so thin!” EVERY parent of every friend of mine when I come to their house: “Oh you are so thin!” Relatives seeing me after long time: “Oh you are so thin!”Sometimes these comments are said in disgusted voice, sometimes with envy, sometimes with care (“You will look healthier if you put on some weight!”). In the end of the day they all freak me out because they point out my body as if it is thing, something everybody can discuss freely. I am so much more than my body. And I really do not think that my humble figure deserves that much concern. I am healthy, I eat and exercise properly. I am OK!It took me long time to distance myself and my own self awareness from what is being said about my body. As a teenager I felt constant need to apologize as if my thinness was a disease threatening people. It is a hurting discovery that, despite the fact that I feel so good and comfortable in my body, people are willing to point out how wrong my body is. This shame of my own body tortured me for many years and I am still over coming it in some or other way.What helps? Exercise certainly does. When you see how you become stronger, more flexible and active, you care so much less what others say. You see your beauty with your own eyes, anything else hardly matters. I also filter my friend circle. If, for whatever reason, somebody cannot stop talking about my weight, I distance myself from them. Mature and polite people do not behave like those. I want to be with friends who love and appreciate me. Anyone else may leave.As a thin person for long time I thought that other people had some right to discuss my body. I thought if I looked so weird, of course, it was okay for others to mention it. I realized it is wrong. Nobody has a right to judge my face, my weight, my body. I am the one who decides what is good for me, not they. Since I understood this simple truth it’s been much easier to reduce skinny shaming in my life.
