Help me please!! Confidence issues =(?

Question

Im a 16 yr old girl, im a size 10 (UK sizes) in clothes and i weigh around 8.5/9 stone, i play loads of sport so im squite muscly and toned aswell. Buta most of my friends in school are like size 6 and stuf like that, it really depresses me because i feel huge compared to them. Is it normal to be that weight and dress size for my age?

Answer 1

Don't be stupid you sound the average weight and size don't judge yourself on other people. There is no need to be that skinny. Stay the way you are. =)

Answer 2

been there....but i was about size 14 at your age!!!! still am bigger than all my friends but i have a better figure than most of them if u get me? they have big bellies and that even thought their skinnier. all you can do is wait this is just puppyfat at your age you WILL get slimmer as you get older...just exercise and eat right and youlll never have a problem.most men like something to hold onto if you ask them!

Answer 3

u shouldnt be embarrased at all.... stand strong.....

Answer 4

hi,

at our age we shouldnt have confidence issues but we do , i know how you feel im a size 14 ! and my friends are all tiny 10's and 8's , im super active and enjoy sports im very muscle and lanky and often feel out of place within my friendship group, but i've learnt to love my body for evry lump bump and blemish and ive become a plus size model :) , thers not enough time in life to worry about weight and looks in comparrison with others, be yourself and learn to except your self, thers alot of pressure on us teenage girls to be stick thin to fit in, but does it really have to be like that ?

a size ten is a brilliant a size to be and is not large by any means, just enjoy yourself x*x

Answer 5

THEY sound weird & abnormal to me!

Size 10 is very small, you are not huge and you do not need to lose weight or clothes size!

Please don't try to emulate your friends!!

Answer 6

First of all you are FINE!

I am 5"11 and all my firends are 5"5

They are all really skinny and I am muscly and tall

And I feel uncomfortable

But one thing that turns a guy off is a girl who has no confidence

Feel comfortable in your skin ALWAYS!

Who cares if those girls are tinier that you

So what!

Be comfortable with who you are and you will always get positive attidudes

And you will feel better yourself

Answer 7

You're perfectly normal. I'm the same weight and size as you and also quite muscular. We aren't going to be a size 6 with all that muscle are we. Would you rather be skinny and weak or slim and strong?

Answer 8

everyones different babe- big is good xxxx

Answer 9

You're fine, look at all these people everywhere that try to be somebody else just because the magazine, the tv, all of the media said so.  Everybody has been brainwashed by the media to look certain way.  

Just be who you are and be happy, be healthy too.  I am sure you look just fine.

Best wishes

Answer 10

Be happy with who u are. Alot of guys like girls that are thick and arent scared to eat. U dont have to be like ur friends. U are different and beautiful and dont let anyone tell u different

Answer 11

I used to think like that (I was same size at your age...)

But now I am 19 and have realised that men seem to prefer the size 10/12 curvy shape of a WOMAN rather than the skinny, twig like figure of a little GIRL ;)

It's s**y honey, don't get down about it =)
