Ok I know that this has nothing to do with sex but I'm really conscious about my weight, everyone says that I'm skinny (in a healthy way) but I just for some reason can't believe them. They don't get how it's like for me, especially seeing my best friend who's really pretty and thin. My question is what should I do or think bout my size?

If you're nice and curvy, be proud of that! Guys love that sort of thing, trust me :)

In the mornings, try looking at yourself in the mirror when you're doing your face and hair and once you've finished, tell yourself you look pretty or gorgeous anything positive. Then if you've got a full length mirror, look at yourself there and think the exact same thing, positive thoughts, it really does help. You'll go out the house feeling gorgeous/ beautiful and guys will notice that too :)

Be thankful of the compliments you get, give them a cute smile and say thanks.

And it's winter, you're allowed to have a bit of weight on you :) Saves you freezing outside! hehe

Honeypie agony auntWhat you lack is self confidence. Something that you can not buy or get at the snap of a finger. It takes time and a lot of work ( on your behalf).

First and foremost, just be yourself.

Do things you like to do. Hobbies, sport whatnot. Learn to talk to your parents openly. Take pride in things you are good at. Do something good for others. Maybe try and volunteer.

You could ask your guidance counselor to recommend some books for you that can help build your self esteem.

Most of all learn that you are ok the way you are. You look the way you do due to genes - no more no less. You are the SUM of generations of forefathers & mothers.

Be a good friend and you will have good friends.

We can not all look the same. Find your strong points and then look at the weak ones, the weak ones will become less significant as you learn to love every single strong point.
