Babygirl, you must have a pretty rough family for them to be criticizing you about your appearances-you have enough to worry about when you go to school and deal with the kids! I think the eye in is the beholder baby. If you felt overweight before your family said anything then maybe watch what you are eating or exercise alil' more. If you began feeling insecure after your family starting flapping about your weight....count it like all the rest of the haters- JEALOUSY!

Your family has a problem.
First off, your too young to worry about little boys. And, if you start worrying about little boys, you're only gonna run to them for comfort from your family...
Are you sure your family is calling you "chuncky"? Or, is that what you hear... 15 is a confusing time for many young people.
I'm not gonna give you what you want - the weight issue is a loaded question. And, if you need to ask to build your confidence, you really should NOT be dating. But, if you feel you have to, to find that confidence that you lack in your self, then go for it - BUT use protection. You're stepping very close to the path that leads to teen pregnancy.
Enjoy your life BUT be careful...

rawr family is evil! my mom tells me "you need to lose that spare tire around you stomach" and you know what i do! i lift up my shirt grab as much fat onmy stomach and shake it at my mom! haah she walks away and goes "stop your going to give me nightmares"!!!!! haha it makes her shut up really fast! you shoudl be comfortable the way you are. maybe you are a little chubby, maybe not. we dont have a pic of you. i was chubby when i was 15. but you know what? your not done growing yet! and when you grow you will thin out. im sure your hips and brests will be getting larger too. so all of you extra baby fat will go to the right areas. thats what happened to me. except i have a pooch on my stomach lol (some fat) but its not bad or anythign, just grosses my mom out, mainly cause i also have a navel piercing which she hates and thinks is disgusting) anyways. you are fine. be comfortable the way you are and you will grow and get lean and look like the best girl in school, or better than all of your friends ;) i was arougn 5-2 when i was your age and weighter arounf 120 lbs. but now im 19 5'6 and 135. so it all evened out. you will too! dont listen to your family. thye dont know what their talkign about =) be comfortable with yourself and you wil be fine. you are who your are learn to accept it =)

You are in no way chunky, that is a very good and desirable weight. Please don't listen to your family, they are not helping your body image and I think this is one of the main reason body image disorders can start, after pressure from the media. Please don't let them get you down, they need to stop making you feel inesecure about yourself and it's a shame are acting this way. Take care : )

see it could be that if you are athletic then you have muscle and bone weight and not nessecarily fat weight. but if not, then you should be around 100-105 pounds....just try to do a little bit of exercise a day...and you should be fine...nothing too much to worry about right now...but just make sure you exercise so it doesnt go too far

What you should really be asking yourself is "Am I happy with myself?" If you are, then you need to start responding to people who call you chunky with "I think I'm beautiful just the way I am." Put on a smile and walk away.
If your not happy with yourself the way you are, then it is up to you to eat healthier and exercise.

Your average.
70 pounds is too skinny, 200 pounds is way too much, but you? Your absolutely fine.
Tell your family to shut the hell up and kiss your ***!!!!!
How dare they say that.
Just ignore them, their like so wrong.
