I'm so sorry for them. All that crap they see on TV and the magazines have got them thinking they are fat. They are at their prime. God has given them this time to have thrill not to worry about what they look like. I'm sick b/c I was the same way. I look back now and see perfect skin and a thin body that I was not happy with. God, If I could only go back. Hey, you, youth, you are effing beautiful. Stop looking in the mirror.

Well said!!!
I wish they could all see how beautiful they are and not worry so much about their weight! It's pathetic that society is soooo obsessed with weight/scales/sizes!

I can't help it.
How can we?
My mom is always thinking she's fat too... I heard some psychologist on Oprah say that's detrimental towards a teen's perspective.
I AM FAT!
If everyone else is slimmer than you, the boys hardly ever look at you, you're so uncomfortable in your skin that you hate skirts or even capris - it's the way it is.
I wish more curvaceous bodies were popular - but what can we do?
It's true though. Every single letter. We're all self-centered on how UGLY we are, not how pretty.
We're put down for being smart, wearing even glasses... svelte bodies are the NORM, not even just unnaturally skinny.
How can I help it? Something that's been ingrained in my mind for years?
I am ugly. And I know it. At least I think I know it.
And that's what a lot of teens are thinking. Not only teens, but young girls in middle school and even elementary school.
Every compliment is just flipped over in my mind - "Oh, she's just lying to make me feel better."
Trust me - I've tried. This self-obsession is the most time consuming and emotional drying thing I've ever had. It's so hard to struggle with. I'm trying, and getting more involved in religion and such - but it's so HARD. And Dove/Girl Scouts are not going to solve the problem, no matter how wonderful their campaigns are.
I am. ugly. What I am I going to do about it? I can't change it.
Ugh. And those are my inner thoughts, that I keep down underneath the surface.

its society. all of this surgery crap. and whats portrayed on television . . . its ridiculous. every day in my school i hear beautiful fit skinny girls complaining that they feel and look fat. people like that need to be slapped in the face to realize that they are beautiful and they need to appreciate it that it comes naturally.
oh yeah im 17, i love my body, im very proud of it, and all that propaganda crap dosent affect me . . .
