hey sweetie, jr. high kids are crule! thats only the truth.... a young lady tries to grow and develope into her own person only to be shut down by her peers. Well, it happens to us all, and weight is a huge issue with all young girls no matter what size. i struggeled with it myself, and still do but i went from 174 lbs in the 6th grade (much larger than you dear) to 140 lbs in the 10th grade... all i did was decide to do something and everynight i got into the habbit of doing sit-ups and such, i walked a lot, and ate a little better, and i feel healthier! but i just wanted to tell ya that jr high stinks for almost everyone, wait and see what the future holds before you go and decide you don't like the way you look, its probably the little kids talking in your mind... and in a few years, all they'll be is little kids! so sweetie don't fret over such a silly little thing, espicially because there is absolutely no reason to! ~god bless~ Amanda
