Asked By: Erroyne 13-15, F  7 months ago

I'm just wondering to see what peoples' opinions are. Sadly, this is most of what people talk about in high school, which is unfortunate. I believe in health, not weight, unlike many teenage girls.

For example, I am 5'11" and 15 years old, but am a size 6/8. I am a fluctuating 150 pounds. At my school, some girls would say I'm fat (even though I am not, but I do have a larger frame than most girls; wider shoulders, hips, etc. but with a less than average waist). I go through periods of self-loathing, but I am learning to accept and love myself, because I am different than everyone else! Similar to this image, but with slightly slimmer waist and calves http://www.mybodygallery.com/photos-1177-body-shape.htm#img I look old for my age

What are your opinions on this issue or the question? All answers are appreciated.

    You are not fat...not at 5'11 and a buck fifty you're not. I'm your weight and five inches shorter and I look like a beanpole, and I can only imagine what you look like. Honestly, as long as you remain healthy, I think that's a good size for you to be if you're not too skinny. Don't worry too much about your image, it sounds like you're healthy sized.

    I feel healthy, so I am learning to be happy with that. It's nice to hear people who are not accusing and are reasonable. I am around 16 year old girls too often!

    Wow, you look a lot older than 16. You're not fat at all though. People throw that word around way too often when they don't mean it.
    It's a shame your picture hides your face! You look really pretty.

    Haha, that's not actually me! I look more toned than this image! :) But my body shape is similar (younger looking though). I like to think that you'd think I am pretty, but I dont feel I am ;( But I am learning to love myself. People have called me beautiful, but I look like no one else I have ever seen! So I dont know what they can compare me to. (Okay, I am somewhat similar looking to Helena bonham carter-with her hair and eyes and face shape- but my face is a little longer than hers)

    Well, now I feel dumb lol. Should've read a little more closely I suppose. But yeah, if you're even more toned than the woman in the picture, you've really got nothing to worry about. Also realize that having a little meat on your bones is attractive to most guys! Don't be afraid to eat a little, yeah?

    Hummmm.....As you describe yourself, you are not fat. However, your not a runway model either....You sound like the kind of person that knows diet and exercise are not diseases.....

    I'm guessing these are stick thin short people, right? They're just jealous girl! Keep up your self-esteem by not paying attention. You're in the low side of average weight for your height! :)

    Yes, most of them are still tiny little girls :) Its hard for me to think of them (so perfect from my perspective) as being jealous, but I am also low in confidence and self-image. I keep trying to make myself healthy mentally and physically, so I feel I am on the right path :)

    They feel the same as you, but they just show it differently. I'm glad that you're not like some people who will starve themselves just to "Fit in". You ARE on the right path, don't get led astray :).

    It sounds like you have a very healthy self-image. Most girls your age don't. I would consider someone to be fat if they were round-looking and seemed really unhealthy, but you can't judge your weight by the numbers involved because everyone has a different body type. I'm 170 lbs and 6' 4, but I was blessed with a high metabolism.

    At times I have a healthy self-image. I am in a confident and mentally-healthy stage at the moment, so I am trying to improve my feelings of self worth in this short time that I know I'll have to work on it. Yes, that is the difficult part about the numbers. They really dont mean anything, especially in regard to muscle mass, hip-to-waist ratio, etc. You are very lucky! I have a low metabolism, but thankfully I enjoy exercise! :)
