I don't get all the girls on here...?

Question

A lot of these questions in the beauty section are about, "Am I fat? Am I a normal weight? Do I look chubby?" and all of the girls are 110 pound and under. I'm 14, 5'3, and 129 pounds, and I'm not afraid to tell people. My personal trainer said I was tiny the first day we met, and them we started dating. (he's 16, i know, not really parent approved), but not the point. My point is, I know I'm a normal weight, but why do all these skinny girls lack self esteem?

Answer 1

ah it's because of what people say!

i should know..

i'm like that..

Answer 2

i think alot of the girls are searching for compliments when they no when they are skinny u and me are practically the same im 5'2 and 119

Answer 3

im like you.  im 15 and 5'0 (so a few inches shorter than u) and im 113 and proud! =)  its not that they lack self esteem...trust me.  would they really be posting pics on there or telling their weight and height to the public if they actually thought they were fat?  no.  thats b/c they search for the compliments, and every1 gives it too them.  "oh im 5'6 and 110 pounds...im so fat right?"  and every1 is like "oh no ur not fat!  ur skinny!  ur amazingly skinny!" blah blah blah.  tats not wat i say.  i know they are searching for the compliments so i usually say "only what you think matters.  if you think ur fat, ur fat. otherwise its no1 elses buisness".  tats wat i say to all of them.  i never get best answer (only the ppl who are like "omg u r so not fat!" get it) but at least im honest.  =)  dont let those questions frustrate you.  just do what i do and frustrate them.  they know if they are overweight or not. so im totally with you there!  

Answer 4

Aesthetics can be just in the eye of the beholder.  A more objective way of looking at your proportions to check your body mass index.  The health researchers use this.  They find that BMIs over 25 is "overweight" and can bring bad health effects.  The BMI is your weight in kg divided by the square of your height in metres.  It can be converted for the US's rather antiquated units.  5'3" and 129 pounds gives a BMI of 22.8.  Healthy!

Answer 5

I'm a guy and I love girls that are filled. Skinny ones look sickly and since you are not obese then you are A-OK. Its a good thing too that you are proud of what you are and what you have. As for those trying hard-to-be skinny girls, let them have their fantasies, they're just over-exposed to TV commercials who want to sell slimming gadgets, pills, etc. and skimpy "fashion" clothes that look like flour bags......

Answer 9

most of them do it because they are fishing for complients

Answer 10

Society puts so much pressure on teenage girls to look and be "perfect", and they want to meet those expectations, even though perfection doesn't exist. So girls go to extremes because they think they are different then everyone else and they want to fit in with society. It is very sad, but very true. It is great that you don't give in to society's pressure, but many girls don't know how to deal with it.

Hope I helped!*:)
