Ok, well, I have a small and slim body type and some of my friends are like "omg you're so cute/tiny!" or "wow you're small" or "you're so skinny!!!!". It's getting on my nerves. I know, there are worse things than being called small, but it's annoying all the same. Help?

I'm kinda the same way. But people don't tell me those comments on a regular basis.
Just take the compliment. Smile and say thank you or something. Try not to get annoyed by it, unless it's the same people. If the same people continue telling you how small you are then just nod and say, "I know, you already told me" and that will quiet them down. If not, have a talk with these people and tell them how you feel a bit annoyed b/c they keep telling you how small you are.
But first just take it as a compliment and smile about it. There are worse things you could be called.
All the best!!

Metaldog, like you stated yourself there are a lot worse things that they could be calling you or saying about you. Attempt to take these remarks with a grain of salt and with some humour. If that is the worse that people have to say about you be grateful. Besides if you are tiny now you will probably grow up to be a smaller built lady when you mature. Trust me you are going to appreciate it then when you look a lot younger than many of your older friends when your in your 40's 0r 50's. Best of luck and remember to smile and use some humour as it will do you good.

Just tell them you don't like it. Yeah, I know it's hard. I was under 5 feet until grade seven, and people constantly made fun of me for being short. Sometimes it bugged me. So you just have to tell them to stop it, and to shut up!
Try not to take it too personally though, I know it's annoying, but they aren't trying to offend you!
Best of luck!

Amen! I am so happy, the same thing is happening to me! What I do is say, "Yep, and proud of it" plus if you say that everytime they will eventually get tired of it and stop. Plus be proud of it in a big way thats a huge compliment!!!

either tell your friends and they should understand that its bothering you, or come up with a really annoying response that will drive them crazy and make them never want to say it again.

Tell them to just respect your talking about isn't going to prosper my situation. Talking to them will solve problems. Tell them to keep to themselves
