Hey I feel really messed up coming to this site but I'm 170 pounds (bathroom scale not too reliable sience 2-4 days ago it said I was 150 pounds) I'm not real fat but I'm tall about 5'5"-5'7" I am also big boned. It makes me feel very bad when kids my age are saying well I'm 100 pounds. Please Talk to me we can confort each other I'm sure.

You are so lucky to be tall. I am only 4 foot 9 and I won't get much taller because my parents are both small. First advice, forget what everyone else says about being 100 pounds. Why do they feel they need to boast? Probably because they are insecure. Also, if you are tall and big boned then you will be heavier anyway. If you are really worried then talk to the school nurse or a doctor. They will probably say that for your height and bone structure, you are about right. Anyway, think of it this way: you can lose weight but if these girls are short then they can't grow. I am one of the shortest in my class and chubby but I have just lost five pounds with a sensible diet. I accept my lack of height because I can't do anything about it but I think I have other great attributes that other people don't have. Make the most of what you have and stand tall. Forget what other people say. What is important is what you think. People that boast about things like weight or new clothes etc are usually insecure about themselves.

Hi Amanda! My ancestors were big boned, too. (The side from England.) Then they mixed with the Armenians, so I'm not as big boned, but I'm not a skinny little rail, either. Besides, I'm related to Queen Elizabeth, and she was NOT SKINNY. If you like, you can e-mail me at "thelittlekittymermaid3@yahoo.com"
God Loves You!!!
