all these young girls (about 13-17 or something) asking if they weigh too much? "am i fat", "how much should i weigh", or "how do i lose weight in a week". i personally think its stupid how girls care so much how they look at that age. they're still young and shouldn't be that focussed on their weight! can't they just accept the way they are? also, i am a 16 year old girl and i love the way i am and would never want it to change..so just wondering what you think, so all comments or opinions are welcome!

i totally agree with what you all have said, that its good for the girls who want to be healthy and all, but i'm just talking about the girls who are already the weight they should be or w/e. or the ones who ask "am i ugly?". i just think its stupid. thanks for everyones whos answered so far!

Teenagers have it hardest out of any age group u know ur at that age where u wanna fit in and have "cool" friends and a boyfriend and and that so it normal to wanto look perfect too. but like u said at that age weight shouldnt be all u worry about.Like some other girls just said the media is allowing these young girls to think that only skinny is in and that if u arnet that way then u wont be pretty or get a boyfriend but that so inst true.

I agree with punkrocklover101. I think it's fine if people want to know if they are underweight or overweight, so that they can do something about it and maintain a healthy weight. I find it slightly pathetic when they ask if they're pretty.... I'm 13 and I think that we should be eating healthily and not getting obsessive (counting calories and refusing to eat pizza at parties etc). I eat a lot and am a normal/thin body size but maybe that's just good genes...

I agree with you, except about the people who really need to lose weight. I'm 5'0" - 5'1" and I weigh about 145 pounds. Since I'm only 13, this is a real problem for me. I know I need to lose weight for my health. There are plenty of people, though, that think they need to lose weight when they really don't. I know a person who isn't happy with being 100 pounds and she's taller than me. I personally think she could gain weight, but she wants to lose weight instead. I know a many more people my age (and older) who hate how much they weigh. I think people should be happy with their weight as long as they're healthy and enjoy life instead of being obsessed about little things like weight.

I feel sorry for people that worry about their weight-I do, and I know it's not nice. There is so much pressure from classmates etc normally, that you can't help but feel it unless you are the same size as them. As for the people who ask 'Am I pretty?' That is clearly just fishing for compliments. If they really didn't think they were pretty then there's no way they would pose like they do and put pictures on here. Who are they kidding?! x

I agree girls these days shouldn't care that much about their weight, it's okay to want to be healthy but some of these girls are crazy. Most of my friends won't eat pizza until they get most of the grease out of it... I don't get it I like the way I look and I eat without taking the grease of pizza lol and I'm just fine. But I do blame the media the way they portray the way you are suppose to look 10 pounds lol.

Well the people who ask if their weight is right are sometimes concerned about their health. But the gilrs who are all like "Do I look pretty????" thats kind of gay.
