I need help feeling comfortable in my own skin. Help?

I'm fifteen years old and I just started high school in the fall. I weighed 110 pounds the last time I checked. I didn't really have problems feeling comfortable in my body until eighth grade when all my friends started getting curves and I still looked like a ten year old boy. My friends always try to reassure me and tell me how they wished they had my body because I can pretty much eat anything I want and not gain wait. But I wish I had their bodies. I wish people would stop looking at me and saying "Omg you're soooo skinny! You need to eat!" I wish that this girl would have never called me anorexic in eighth just because I don't weigh 200 pounds. I wish that one of my guy friends would have never made up the nickname "stick." I wish this other would have never said that if we ever had sex I would snap like a twig under him. I wish that one time when I was getting my nails done and the lady asked how I old I was, she would have never said "Oh, I thought you were eleven." And then, the other day I was watching one of yungin19's videos on youtube and it hit me. I really can't do anything about. I'm one of those girls who will be like this forever. When God made me, he didn't plan for me to have Kardashian curves. I'm always going to be like this. So I need to embrace it. I just need some help feeling comfortable in my own skin. So please help me?

xoxo- Shianne

You're right--good or bad. You really can't do much about your body type. Truth? Most of those girls would probably love to be as thin as you! Embrace it. Look in the mirror and remind yourself that you're beautiful every day.

Re: I need help feeling comfortable in my own skin. Help?

I have a curvy body type and my sister is the straight and skinny type. Sometimes, I'm pretty jealous of her. It's so easy for her to find clothes that fit correctly and still look good, she walks into a fitting room already with an idea of how it will look on her.  Everything looks naturally elegant on her. I always have to worry about whether my curves make me look fat, and I've had to pass up so many cute clothes because they were designed to fall straight.

 

She's my older sister by 5 years, yet people still think I'm older than her. Kind of frustrating that her friends have thought I was older than 25.

 

The grass is always going to look greener on the other side. Just learn to enjoy the perks that you have. Forget about the people that will make stupid remarks and thoughtless comments.
