I'm 17 and I've been with my boyfriend for a yr I'm really insecure about my booty because it's not big , I wish I had a big booty 2 make him and myself happier but he says that's what he prefers but it doesn't matter and he says I need more confidence which is hard for me

What you need to realize is that its not the appearance on the outside but the appearance the shines from within. Ultimatly you're the one that has to look in the mirror and if you only go by what you see then your missing the big picture. Try not to be superficial and draw on your inner beauty instead.

You can gain confidence by accomplishing more things. What do you like to do? Do what you want to do and be the best you can be at it.

Big butts are a pain in the butt. Your boyfriend isn't dating your butt, he's dating you. If he's happy with you as you are right now then that should make you happy (one less thing you have to worry about). Don't be so critical of yourself. Being on the verge of adulthood, you have more important things to worry about. Trust me on this.

If he already accepts you the way you are, why worry?

Listen, I'm sure there's nothing wrong with you. You're fine the way you are, and everybody has their own preference anyway. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with small butts, or big butts for that matter. As you get older you'll realize that there's more things that people look for in a relationship than minuscule things such as, whether your bottom is big or small. You might not have one thing, but you might have another to make up for it.

You're beautiful the way you are. But don't make the mistake of relying on other people to make you feel that way. I mean, don't right away expect people to tell you everyday, you're gorgeous. A lot of times people do really find you attractive, but that doesn't mean they're going to say it out loud all the time. Also, make sure you don't pay attention to whatever negative things people say, because chances are they're just insecure themselves. Sometimes its good to surround yourself with the people that you know truly care, and each morning when you wake up, tell yourself; "This is me. I might not be like that girl on the front page of the covergirl magazine, but I'm dealing with what I got. And what I have is enough." I don't know. Something like that. Realize that there isn't anything in this world that's perfect. That even that chick on the cover of that magazine isn't all that great. Sometimes beauty is found in the imperfections we all have. We just have to learn to accept our flaws/faults and try to embrace them, rather than changing something that you can't really change. There will always be people that will try to tear you down. And there will always be someone who will love you for you, but more importantly, its best that you love you for you.

You're great the way you are! Don't let anybody tell you otherwise, okay?

If he says he likes you the way you are then listen to him if you change he might leave so don't over do yourself and don't get mad if he tells you that he likes you the way you are take it from me I'm a guy
