I wear a size 8 in jeans at American Eagle, Aeropostale, and Abercrombie and Fitch and I was just wondering if that is big??? Most people say I'm thin, but compared to a lot of girls in my school size 8 is big when most of them wear a 5 or 6. And please don't be mean about it and say I'm self conscious, because I'm not! I'm just wondering what other people think.

Ashley,
You are just fine by me. Most girls are to thin and they look goofy, they really do. Be happy that your a size 8 you'll look healthy and not sickly like the rest of the girls around you. Starving yourself is not real smart and doing so to be something your not is real stupid. Be yourself, after all it's someone you're going to be with a long time.

The jeans I buy are usually in odd numbers and I wear a size 7 and I am about 5'7', so I am about your size. Although were we carry our weight may vary, as in all women. However, I would have to tell you No you are not big. To honestly tell you, clothes are not a good measurement. A size 8 in one brand could be equivalent to a 6 or 7 in another. I wear 7, that's my size, however because of my butt size (which I love) I sometimes have to buy a 9, if they are low-rise, so that my butt crack is not out. Yet I am a size 4/5 when I buy skirts and dresses. I have even bought a size 3 in skirts, yet my jeans are 7/9. So it all depends on the make and type of clothing. So don't use this as a factor.

STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHER GIRLS!
That's #1.
You be you. If you feel good at a size 8 then leave it be. If YOU feel your too thin/heavy exercise a little 2-3x a week ( walking, jogging,etc add more fruits ,veggies, and lots of water to your diet too). Don't compare yourself, every girl is different, LOVE THE SKIN YOUR IN.

No. You sound just right. Size 8 on a 5'6" person is good.

No, that's good if you're 5'6 and besides you're still going to get taller. Just don't gain anymore weight and your jean size will get thinner.

No you aren't big at all. You are probably at a normal weight for your age. Anything lower would be too thin. Don't worry, your fine.

Heck no! Your body sounds well proprotioned. Make the clothes fit you, not the other way around.

I would say it sounds fine for someone your height, plenty thin
