First off not all women where made to be stick figures just because you have something to grab hold of does not make you ugly. Do not be ashamed of your bady it is a masterpeice of god and he has made you and loves you and that makes you beautiful. But watch out because when you have sex you are giving yourself to someone else and once you give that part of you to someone else you can't get it back. Sex can be a beautiful thing that brings people closer together but it can also become just another way to get high or to feel like someone loves you when all that someone wants is a peice of you to make themselfs feel better. Remmber you are a precous creation of a loveing and caring god who want the best for you.

It is very common to have these feelings of insecurity about yourself. Almost everyone thinks like this at some point in their lives.\n\nThe only solution is to try and think positively all the time, anytime you start to feel bad about something just tell yourself to stop... and remind yourself that you are a good person, you look great and you can do anything you put your mind too.\n\nAfter a while you won't have to keep reminding yourself, you will just know that you are ok. Think positive and believe in yourself!!\n\nGood Luck, you can change they way you think and act if you really want to, being positive is the key.

Sounds like you need a dose of self confidence.  Firstly, focus on the things you like about yourself - I'm sure that there are plently of positive attributes that far outweight the rpoblem of your nipples.  Then look at some other people who have had very disfiguring injuries or birth defects, who have a very positive outlook on life.  Don't they have far bigger problems which they have overcome ?  If they can do it, why can't you ?\n\nIf people make a comment, just laugh it off..... no need to get upset or up tight.

if you feel good about the way you look then to hell with "everybody"  if you think you really are thin...have a snack!  good luck

Well done, Nathan!\n\nI don't know what you can do, apart from having surgery to get rid of the excess flesh.  You are young, and the problem might right itself, but if you lose a lot of weight there will be too much flesh left.\n\nHowever, you're great for having done something about it!\n\nGood luck.

I'm going on 38 next month but beleive me, i know how you feel, i have been heavy my whole life, i never felt liked, endured cruel jokes and felt i would never have a boyfriend. Girls and women are expected to look like everyone else on TV, its always the thin models that get the main roles in movies and chubby women are shoved to the backburner. We need to realize and believe that looks dont mean ANYTHING AT ALL, if guys are only going to like you because you have a nice body then that tells me what kind of person they really are, a JERK. You have so much to offer in this world, dont let anyone tell you otherwise! You are a special and unique person. Please just be yourself and stop comparing yourself to others, it takes all shapes and sizes in our world. Please enjoy yourself while you can and put a smile on your face, thats what will trully draw the right ones to you. For me i choose swimming to keep myself as healthy as possible, its easier on your body and burns more calories than any exercise you do out of water ( i was told this by a swim instructer ) and best of all its FUN. I know its hard, i dont mean to go on and on but i just want you to know your not alone. God Bless you.

I am 20, 5'4" 110lbs and I'm just barely an A cup. I have also been with my boyfriend for 4 years and he loves them. I get hit on often, even though I have a small chest. When I was in high school I was much more self conscious and had lower self esteem. My boyfriend has helped me learn to love my body, and I think that's what you need to do. Be happy you have a small chest! You don't have to worry about them getting in the way with sports or getting nasty floppy when you get old! Trust me... learn to love your body, and find people who love you for who you are. Not only because you have fake boobs. A lot of people will have more respect for you for being real and having small boobs, than being fake and having big boobs.

Sorry you have so much bummer stuff going on in your life you do often get upset. It is time to think of yourself before others. By what you say it is likely you have a weight you would prefer not to have. \n\nIf you stop now and say to yourself that person or problem is going to be my fuel for self recovery then you are on the correct self healing path.\n\nIf you are physically and mentally balanced no one and no situation will be able to upset you. \n\nTake a walk, go for a swim, as silly as it sounds place a bucket of cleaning solution on the ground or floor, bend over to rinse out a rag and wash the inside and outside of your home windows, it is great exercise and your windows will sparkle. \n\nusually people upset people - screw um think of yourself

Try loving yourself first of all, dear! If you love yourself, no matter what your physical appearance may be, others will love you just the way you are!

Hello! Can understand what you mean. Have not got too much self-esteem neither... but I have come to accept that it is not okay for me to feel that way somehow. I want to change it. Think one really needs to decide deep within to change it. There are many beautiful suggestions here. A counsellour I saw some time ago told me that I should say out loud "I am a wrothwhile person and I deserve to be happy." ... and it worked. Just that I became kind of lazy :o) . What might help you as well is the link below. It might seem childish but it really does help. Enjoy it and good luck to feeling better toward yourself :-) !

i dont want to be rude, but the only thing that helps is maturity, if your weight is the only thing u think about, then u have a maturity problem....you are beautiful just the way u r, and u need to realize that.....every girl goes through this, so ur not alone....but u have accept yourself, good luck

Go to a gentleman's establishment with a few friends and watch the dancers. That way you can take note of what they do and try to learn them yourselves. If you feel silly ask your friends to help you and practice with you.  If not I'm sure there is a video out there that can give you some moves. Just practice and make sure you feel comfortable with yourself. Even if you feel silly, don't show it. Keep your head up and shoulders back and you'll own the place. Good Luck.\n\nIt's also a good form of exercise, good for toning muscles.\nA lot of woman hates those places because they think they are degrading, or because men they know go to them (they are insecure). When in fact there are also male strippers out there. Don't let that discourage you, you do what you want.

You are just fine. Do a little weight lifting to get your muscles toned. I think you will be happy with your appearance then. It can give you confidence too. This can be helpful for someone your age. It is normal to feel self conscious at 13.

love yourself and then you will.  is there something that you feel guilty about that makes you think you are not worthy of love?  don't you love others?  then why can't they love you?\nI think you are suffering from depression and need to start by trying to get more sun outside..this stimulated the optic nerve.  also you can try an herbal remedy called "St.John's wart."  you are a beautiful person and you have a beautiful family who needs you to feel good about them, life and yourself.  Friends unfortunately like people who make them feel good, and if you are depressed, you can not do this for them.  You need to find answers and start seeing the beauty in yourself and  the life you have with your family. \n1. I want you to get up in the morning and first thing you do is go to the bathroom and look yourself in the merrow and say "I love you" and "Today is going to be a good day!".  this is a positive affermation.  your brain needs this to balance out the negative feelings and things you have been telling yourself.  you have been abusing yourself.\n2. I want you to tell your family that you love them and compliment them...tell them when they look nice and tell them when you notice something good about them...they need to hear positive things from you too.\n3. Do at least one thing just for you.  something for yourself.  It is to make you feel good, even if it is just soak in a tub with bubble bath...go for a walk, sit in the sun for a few minutes, wear colorful clothing, eat something healthy like a fresh peach...\nMy dear you have a lot of negative energy and you must turn it around.  You know you are depressed and you sound like a woman who beats herself up because she feels overweight..I do that.  look around..how many women do you see that look like a barbie? not many...and they have men who love them and are happy. women who are thin feel the same way...it is a social standard that is put on women by TV and magazines who alter photos of women to be un-naturally tall and beautiful..they paint over the natural photos and air brush them and stretch them so they look perfect....and then men and women think this is what they should look like....it is just not real.\nwhe was the last time you plucked your eye brows, shaved your legs, painted your toe nails...this is what I do when I feel down and remind myself I am beautiful.\n4. Get a part time job or do volunteer work for a few minutes or hours a day..do something for someone else (not in your family) at least 2 times a week. this will get you out of your little world and stop you from "thinking about your depression" all the time. it is rewarding and makes you feel worth something..especially when you get the check or someone says "Thank you so much, you are so wonderful!"  You need to hear this from a total stranger...for some reason we believe strangers more than the ones we love because they have no reason to lie to us.  One time I felt like crap and I picked a few tomatoes from the garden and gave them to an old man down the street and it made us both feel good and now he likes me and smiles when he sees me.\nworking outside alone in the garden is another thing that makes many women feel great.\n\nPlease don't think I am judging you because I was in depression and I was on the couch 24 hours a day and 7 days a week....I didn't know I was depressed but my kids were feeling sad too.\nGet out of the negative vibe...and if you can't...then you need to try St.John's wart or go to a doctor for some antidepressants.\nDo it now because you are missing beautiful moments with yourself and your family.  there are many people who want to be your friend but you have walls up and they know you have closed yourself off......open your heart and your life so they can come in and see the real you.\nwhen you meet someone they see your expression and they feel you are saying to them:  "I do not want to be bothe
