I have to disagree with Natasha and Ben. I disagree with natasha because honesty is what a relationship needs. Your boyfriend didn't say you don't look nice now, or that he's not going to like you if you dont lose weight. He was honest with what he thought, without insulting you. To Ben, he was wrong because not all people grow when they're 14. Some grow a lot after and during, but some grow a little before, but not much after. (I should know, I've stopped growing...lol) It really depends how tall your family is. But if you want to change something about yourself, go for it. i recommend counting calories, eating 5 veggies/fruits, 6 8oz (1 cup) glasses of water, and 3 8oz milk (2 if ur an adult...lol) and exercise 20 min a day 4-6 times a week at least. It should help. You aren't going to lose it all over night, but in time. :-) If you wanna talk about anything my email is Sunny680ajh@aol.com
