Answer 1

First I think you need to love yourself. You are still a yougn girl. You will grow up to become a beautiful butterfly.... Trust me!

Take a look at Madonna, when she was a teen she never thought she was beautiful. But look at her now....
Don't pay attention for what people say or think about you. You know yourself. They don't. They can't touch you no matter what.

Answer 2

Your in need of a boost of "self esteem" - join the "drama" club,join "team" sports all and everything now that your in High School. The more you interact with your peer group and higher, the more confidence you will build. Be happy with yourself. Your about the size I was in high school, so your NOT overweight! Ware outfits that are in style and flatter your figure. Your only self-conscious because you know, and I know you know, that your better looking, have a better figure then most of your classmates. So you feel intimidated. Stand Tall Girlfriend,God gave you a great start in life, use it, enjoy it but don't flaunt it or become conceited. You can do it, I know, I have confidence in you. Now go and look thru your clothes, put some good stuff together,take a nice warm bubble bath and do your hair and when you wake up in the morning - the NEW YOU will begin.

My nickname was scuzzy in Junior High school. It made me very depressed and I spent much of my life in grief about this. Until I found out the meaning of life and that we are not these bodies we are spirit souls part and parcel of the Supreme soul. We are not our race, color, nationality, hair, weight, job, or even religion. The soul (that's us ) is eternal always existing and never dies. Only the body dies. One has to understand this knowledge to become truly happy and off the bodily platform. I like the book Toward World Peace, Seeing the Unity between Us All by stephen-knapp and Bhagavad-Gita As it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada. I hope this helps

It sounds like you're a normal weight for your height. Probably as good as anybody in appearance but that is not the most important thing in life. How are you on the inside?
You're probably your own worst enemy. Don't beat up on yourself. Be at peace with yourself. Don't be so preoccupied with what somebody else thinks.

Answer 5

ok starting out your not fat, at 5'4 125 lbs you are the right weight for your height. No one likes a woman that is way to skinny and looks anorexic.
