I have VERY low self esteem. Im 15 y/o and today, as everybody knows, all of the advertisements and magazines and EVERYTHING are really making teens struggle with self image and everything. well I am one of them. I am not overweight (weight=117 height=5'0) but I feel so big and overweight compared to how everybody looks these days. I was even anorexic for about 2 weeks a month ago. All of my friends are sooo skinny and I just want to be like them and have guys look at me the way guys look at them. My friend always tell me that I am not fat and I am beautiful and being short is good for a girl, but I think they just say that to be nice. There are so many things about myself that I hate and I just can't stand it. I sometimes even cry at night because of this.
everybody has a knows the kind of guy they think they will marry (looks,personality,etc.) and my "dream guy", I just always think why would he want me
Do I need professional help or is this normal for teens now-a-days?
