My little sister is being bullied because of her weight?
So my little sister is 12, and she's not by any mean overweight at all. She actually was underweight for a while and we've finally got her up to a good weight. She can fit into a small at Abercrombie! I mean come on.. Anyway, about a week or so ago she came home crying because her friends told her that she's getting to fat and that the boy she has a crush on said she looked like football player. They said that she needs to lose a little weight if she wants to keep hanging out with them. I guess they're all obsessed with this book called "the clique" ? Anyone know anything about it? Anyway, she's told me that she needs to go on a diet. I told her that she's doesn't at all. She didn't believe me and for the past few days she's been not eating a lot. It scares me. I told my mom and she had a talk with her, but I don't think it helped. Then today she left her facebook page on, and on almost every one of her pictures, her so-called friends were saying things like "Fatty" or "Jackie you really need to lose weight" even her best friend said "Fat a*s cow." I feel terrible for her. And now her friends having started changing it! They'll text her things like "Jackie I heard you slept with 3 guys you whore." Another was again from her best friend " Jackie, No guy would ever want you, your to much of a fat slut" What can I do? She won't leave them either. I guess they're the "popular" group at her middle school and she has it in her head that if she's not in they're group then she won't be happy. I guess her goal is to lose 30lbs by the end of summer. What should I do or say? Any advice?
Does my 12 year old sister look overweight? (Pics included)?
My 12 year old sister is totally convinced she is extremely fat. Her bmi is 28 which is very high. I think she looks quite chubby but not as overweight as she thinks she is. She says she desperately needs another persons opinion. She would like you to be totally honest but don't be like horrible and say "OMG YOUR SO FAT AND UGLY!" Just say if you think she looks overweight and how much and how much you think she needs to lose. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj96/Zashley90/tum.jpg Much appreciated x
My sister is very lazy and overweight and acts like a child (she’s 18) an she is basically sleeping her life away. What can I do to stop hating her?
Laziness and oversleeping can be a result of her weight, sapping her energy and strength. You need to realize that the sleeping could possibly mean she is suffering from depression or mental health disorder like bi-polar disorder. When you sleep you don't feel. . .or think. Many young adults between the ages or 18-23 are still emotionally immature. You might talk to your mother or mother and father and ask if they have ever considered taking your sister somewhere for an evaluation or for nutrition counselling. You shouldn't hate your sister because of her weight or oversleeping. Try to look at your sister's life through her eyes and not just your own eyes. Look at past memories and shared experiences during a happier time. You can disapprove of certain things about your sister, but that is not a reason to hate her. If you can access family photos from when you were both younger, chances are you will see laughter and joy you shared together.
My brother always calls me fat an ugly but now also my little sister?
Okay I'm 19 years old I'm use to being called ugly and fat by both my mom and brother yeah they think it's normal and such. ( then my mom wonders why i have such low self esteem) I don't dress myself up most of the time cause sometimes i think "why even bother I'm fat and ugly" I'm currently in the overweight category i want to lose 50 pounds. But anyway I'm changing so I now try to put some effort into my looks. But see now the problem is that my mom and brother bring down but also my sister she 10 years old and overweight, and I can tell it affects her and I would hate for her self esteem to go the same as me. I know my sister will eventually lose weight. I'm taking two PE classes. I lost some weight already. As i was losing weight my brother makes comments like said something that hit me "Ha even if you lose weight your ugliness will still be with you" ....I don't know why is he such a jerk. But then he said something that brought me even more down "my friends agree that your ugly" and i have not one ounce of doubt about it that his friends have indeed said that. By the way he is 18 years old.
My sister is prettier than me and it's killing my self-esteem. What should I do?
I should go ahead and say my sister is also prettier than me. And it used to give me a bitter taste in my mouth.I am the youngest one in my family, and as siblings, we look after each other. Well, normally the elder ones were in charge and had the responsibility to protect and provide the younger.So since I was a child, I was bitchy and demanding and I wanted things to go my way, including people’s affection.Everything went well my way for first couple years of my life, until I came to an age to realize who is the prettiest of all. I still tried to fool myself that I was still the best, and the most beautiful, and that’s why I am my mom’s favorite child. But that trick did not work so well with outsiders.My sister is astonishingly beautiful and everyone liked her. All the boys in schools and college. She had many male friends came to the house and hung out. Some of them were handsome too. And all of their attention went to my sister.I didn’t take that so well.I was jealous with her look. I tried to get people’s attention. I hoped my sister’s male friends liked me more than her. When they were trying to talk to my sister, I jumped into the conversation and started talking, trying to make them like me.I pretended that I didn’t care about her followers. I also acted mean to my sister. I hated the fact that I had no follower while she had a bunch of them. I hated the fact that she didn’t need to try so hard but people still liked her. I hated that she was a ball of joy, while I was grumpy the whole time.I wish I could tell you somehow I figured it out and I started to treat her well, but in fact I didn’t. Not until I grew up and I managed to nurture myself and my self-esteem.My sister is still breathtakingly beautiful, but she didn’t have a good marriage. She divorced and is a single mom while I am living happily with my husband. I feel sad for her.You see, if you love yourself enough, you will not need to worry about people’s affection. And you will not even care about the look. It is not about how pretty you are, but it is about how happy you are.Enjoy your time with your sister, feel happy for her pretty look while you still can. And DO NOT think about yourself as the uglier, which reduces your self-esteem as you are doing right now. Focus on what you have, build your confidence and knowledge.You are loved. You are pretty. And you know it.It starts with you.
How much should you weight at 13??
It depends on your build, but generally speaking, anywhere between 95-125 pounds would be fine for someone at her height. Your sister is definitely on the low end of normal; I'm sure she's perfectly thin.
My 9 year old little sister is having lower stomach pains?
It is possible she is going through puberty, but it might not be down to the fact that she is overweight. I have a younger brother of 9 and down at the school, a chat between mums, several of the girls in his class had already gone through puberty and started their periods when they were 7/8 years Old. Its very common for girls these days to go through puberty earlier. so don't worry and I wish the best for your little sister and hope she feels tip top soon.
