If your friends are calling you fat because you aren't as small as them then you have some seriously mean friends. No one should call their friend "fat." Don't worry about losing weight. You are only 14! You have until you have children to worry about that. Just be happy about the way you look. Tell your friends to stop saying that too.

This is a good question. Although it may seem "mean" that others call you fat, take such an event as a chance to examine yourself, which you already have. Like you said, you don't want to be a stick, just a bit thinnner.
I will tell you that as you get older, most men (not all) will want an average woman, in thought, in attitude and in body.
I agree with the first answerer, consult a doctor before trying to implement anything that is said here, but consider what we are saying. The best ways to burn fat are swimming and jogging. Swimming is one of the only activities that works your whole body at the same time, and works it in ways that no other exercise or activity does.
However, jogging, although harder to get into than swimming, burns tons of fat as you are forcing your body to metabolize it in order to continue providing energy to your body for your jogging. It is a circular relationship.
I am in the military, so I have done my fair share of running, and although I hate doing it, I ALWAYS feel better once I am done. Jogging slowly, meaning "at a slow pace", burns the most fat, which is perfect for you as you probably aren't a runner, yet.
Once you get used to it, and this takes months to get used to, then you will probably find that you enjoy it, are getting stronger, and are ready to move to the next stage, which is distance running. This helps your muscles, especially your legs, heart and lungs to get stronger.
Males love athletic females. This has always been true. All you need right now are a good pair of running shoes or cross-trainers, and a safe path to run on (within your neighborhood or on a track at school). I would suggest running half a mile for the first two weeks, every day. Then move to one mile every other day. You can find good running programs on the Internet through Yahoo or Google searches.
Oh, and by the way, you will find that the insults will stop, people will notice, and these same friends will either join you, admire you or despise you. You will know who your friends are after that. And as a father of two daughters, I would say don't worry about boys right now. You have a few years of school left to worry about. Boys will always be there.
Good luck.

There is an expression called, "Baby fat" and that maybe what you have. Lots of boys and girls have that issue, but it goes away, when they get older.
Try to avoid rich desserts and eating too much. Also excerise more, do more walking. Just don't go crazy on some weird diet, or any major diet, without checking with your Doctor.
You may be a little plump, but certainly not fat or obese by any means. See if having "Puppy Fat" runs in your family. and just relax and eat a bit less, and excercise more.
If you only lose a pound a month, in a year, that will be twelve pounds, and more than enough, to make you slim. A pound a month, should be an easy task for you to do.

yup, this one's easy, YOU are not fat! you are a normal size for your age. you only think you're fat BECAUSE of your skinny friends. Don't let them put you down. You are a better person than that. You really shouldn't be as shallow as they are.
