Body image

For me I really struggle with my body image. To a lot of people this sounds really stupid but I hate how skinny I am. I can't help it, I got really sick on year and lost tons of weight and now it's really hard to gain. When all these Guys post " I love thick girls" or when people say they think it's stupid I hate being skinny and won't get bullied for it, they're wrong! Everyone always saying I'm to skinny and I hate it! I'm 15 about 5'4 and weigh 110

For how tall and young you are, you don't sound an unhealthy weight! If you eat enough then it's not bad to be skinny. But if you are unhappy, working out can build lean muscle on your body to make you a bit bigger than you are and make you feel good to be strong and toned!

I have this issue also. People will say in a joking way "I hate you cuz you're so skinny, I wish I had that" or similar statements. But they don't realize that for me personally I have struggled with more illness, trying to gain weight, and dealing with bullying. Given mean nicknames because I didnt have much for boobs, people making comments behind my back, and all the name calling. Words are hurtful! Some people who are bigger don't want to be bigger, but thinner people have same thing and DONT wanna be skinny. Same struggle, just reversed. I hate how it's not looked at as a problem, that it's stereotyped to one genre of body type.

Yeah everyone doesn't understand that their comments about me being skinny is just as bad as calling someone to fat.... I'm glad you get me because a lot of people dont
