Is It Normal?
What do you think?
don't make fun of me.
ok, i have to find out of this is normal. i am 14 yrs old, around 5 ft, i weigh 130 pounds. i have an ok face but obviously, i'm fat. i have stretchmarks all over me. i'm kind of hairy for an asian girl. i have cellulite. and although this is hard for me to share, i will; i was born two months premature and although i'm quite aware that i'm lucky for even being of average intelligence, i hate the fact that i was a premature baby. i've had a problem with my left achilles tendon since i was young. i've went through 2 surgeries, one left me with a very big ugly scar on my foot. i walk a little bit funny. i don't have a normal family, i live with my many siblings, all of them are older than me and they do try their best at taking care of me but considering i didn't grow up with a mother, i sometimes question myself if i'm emotionally healthy. i get depressed easily but nothing really serious; i'm far too afraid of pain to cut myself or seriously attempt suicide. i really don't know what to do with myself at this point in life, i go to a rather selective high school and i'm not doing so well; i'm basically afraid i won't get into a good college with a grade in the low 90's. i know my problems aren't that serious but they do matter to me. if there are any people out there who experience similar problems, please share ideas about how to overcome them.

do you have real friends?
You sound like you're having a lot of the same worries and concerns of everyone your age. A low 90's grade is actually above average, so you should feel good about that, not bad. (of course, you know you can do better, so you might as well do better, right?)

You are 5 foot tall and 130 pounds? That's really not morbidly obese or anything.. Don't beat yourself up so much! You seem to be exaggerating your flaws. Focus on the solution to what you see as a problem rather than the problem itself and in time you'll succeed. And if you don't succeed, then realize how senseless it is to feel so bad about something you couldn't change. What good comes from that? It's nonsense..

For now, try to enjoy your youth the best you can. Make friends, have fun, and make memories that you can look back on and be happy about.

You will probably succeed. You seem to care about your own success and so you will do what it takes to achieve that success you desire.

Best of luck. :)
doesn't seem like morbid obese to me, so maybe not soo bad...
first of all.... do you even remember when you were born??? why is it a big deal to be a premature child?? that does not change you at all or makes you different. i was almost one month premature, my sister was almost 2 months premature and she is doing just like anyone else...
stop having pitty on yourself and do something about it. want to lose weight? eat less and do some excersice, you cant run or so because of your achiles tendon, do some yoga. probably that will help a lot.
your problems are just the problems of your age. dont worry.
take care

If your grades are in the nineties, that should mean As, and that will get you into college without any problems, an A is an A no matter how high or low it is.
I suggest you try to enjoy yourself and not put unrealistic demands upon yourself that are causing you to worry needlessly. Deal with what you have and make the best of it. Some things you can control such as weight, other things are out of your control such as premature birth, or who raised you. And do not ever compare yourself to others. Be proud of who you are and it will show.

I always ask myself this question when a worry crosses my mind. Is this something I have any control over? If not, then I relax, drop the thought which makes me feel better.

Life is full of ups and downs. I found most concerns have a way of working themselves out over time, so enjoy life and stop worrying. If you ever feel troubled, speak to an adult, preferably a counselor in your school. That is why they are there, to help. Good luck to you.
You have been dealt a tough hand that is for sure. But do you really want to feel sorry for yourself or be strong and confident? As hard as it may seem, it is a choice to make. By coming on here and asking questions, you have made a large step into becoming more confident in yourself. I have a feeling that you worry about what others think of you. I am 27 and have had this problem myself. I recently learned through talking it out on here that the problem isn't so much of what others are saying of me but with my comfort of people talking about me. And all I can say is that when I have learned what people thought of me and it wasn't good, then I developed personally. You see it is when someone is offensive towards you that you learn to defend yourself. Not in an expressive way, but within you. How do you defend what you think of yourself? Not having a mom makes this really hard for you because you have to be that voice that tells you that you are beautiful, strong, and special. For what is worth, I know that you are beautiful, strong, and special because you had the courage to make that post and you love yourself enough to value your accomplishments. That is beautiful.
Get lipo
wow, someone else is almost living my life.
dude im younger than u and i weigh more, U ARE NOT FAT!! every girl gets strech marks, its probally from growing taller. If u think ur hairy then get shaved or waxed, and im sorry u were premature, there's really no souluion for those problems
hey chink, lose the weight
Girls grow hair to, they just shave. Including mustaches (which i find hard to believe) Just shave, also if you are worried about your weight, but are to lazy to exercise (I'm 15 yrs 115 lbs and 5ft 6 in , and im hella lazy) then just try not eating lunch at school. Now I wouldnt reccomend doing this, but if any of your really close friends takes medicine for ADHD or ADD, you could ask for a pill like once a week, this would significantly help without a high risk of addiction. I am so underweight because I am prescribed for Adderall/Daytrana

I know how hard it is to not eat when your hungry (on my meds I eat one meal every two days, but off my meds ill have 4 TV dinners for a snack, no joke)

Also, hell if your in honors, 90% is great! I havnt studdied during this (my freshman)( year and that has screwed me in math (first time EVER i got a math grade that was less than an A-)

Just find a nice boy who likes you, and by that I mean who talks to you on a regular basis and goes out of his way to talk to you. not a guy who might smile at you who is hot but never talks to you. The BIGGEST hint ever that a guy likes you is that they will either actively participate in a conversation with you, or listen to you talk and then remeber what you said.

Like the guys who like you back!
hahahahahahahaaahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahah ioilollollololololololololololololollollollollollollollollollollollollollollolllollolllollollollollolllolllollolollollolllololololloollololololoahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha

if you are asian, maybe gain even more weight and become a sumo wrestler.
YOU'RE ASIAN AND YOU ONLY GET LOW 90s IN SCHOOL? what kind of bullshit is that???
I CAN NOT BELIEVE the cruelty that goes on around here.

Poster, first of all, if you want to lose weight do it For YOU!

No, that's not quite right... FIRST thing is ignore the juvinile assholes who are calling you names and saying *stooopid* shit.

Second thing is to feel good about yourself!

Third is, if you are worried about grades, then study, study and study some more. Get a tutor if you have to, but if you Want to succeed I KNOW you Can!

Please be happy!

Tobra
just go cut urself and get it over with
WOW! So much for a self-esteem boost for you! Should keep problems like this at home.
do not shave! the hair grows out thicker and darker and you have to keep on doing it. wax or trim (or use nair) but do not shave anything but you legs, underarms, and if you must, your pubic area (waxing is better for that when the time comes) anyways I am 26 5"6 155 pounds. I have always struggled with my weight. as long as you dont have any severe eating disorders you should even out and be the weight that will look great on you.
