Will dwarfism and lack of confidence make me less appealing to boys in middle school?

Question - (17 August 2008) 3 Answers - (Newest, 18 August 2008)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

So, I know I have a wonderful boyfriend, but I'm going into middle school. Now, I've heard this is where, some boys actually FINALLY like girls. And we're being combined with another school. So MORE BOYS!! Yay. But I have a disease, with dwarfism, and I can't find good clothes a lot, nor can I really feel confident.

My head is much bigger, like people with my disease. (When I talk about it, my friends blame it on my brains. Although I wish my head wouldn't feel so abnormal.)I feel like boys dont like me, because my head, and not really rhat, cuz they never pick on me about that, but my height, and the height differences.

And I want to be like the other girls, who have boys drooling. I'm growing a big chest, but its puny, because of my size. Is something wrong with me?

School will be hard for you because some people are so mean. Mostly because their parents never told them to not be rude. My advice is dont ever change who you are because one day someone will love you for who you are. Also remember no matter who you are you are always picked on for something. So when people are mean to you it makes you more normal. Now if they ignored you and said nothing that would make you different. So look at the teasing in a positive light and it will help you through your school years.

stuckinthemiddle81 agony auntI agree with her. Boys are very immature at that age so don't stress it. When I was your age up until high school, boys picked on me and were put off by me just because I didn't wear make up or dress like a girl--I wore my father's 3x size clothes on my skinny frame.

It wasn't until YEARS later when I met my first boyfriend that he accepted me for how I dressed and who I was.

Friends are way more important than boyfriends at this age than any day. So try not to obsess over, I bet you have a bad ass personality that your friends and family love you just the way you are. =-)

Good luck!

I'm going to be harsh because there is no point everyone here being really nice about it and then you getting hurt at school.

Yes, your disease is going to put boys off you. At your age they are immature and want to fit in with the crowd, and that means having a girlfriend just like everyone else's.

But what you can do is just act really confident all the time. (even when you don't feel it) Blind them with your confidence so they only see your personality, not your differences.

You will find someone who will love you for the rest of your life one day. But boys in their early teens are generally idiots and I don't want you to be hurt when you find this out.

The good news is that having good girlfriends is far far far more important than getting some boy to kiss you. Have all the fun you can with them.

Good Luck!! xx
