I know it sounds like a cry for attention but...
I'm a 13 year old girl. There is a lot of pressure at my school to be thin and pretty. I'm not a generally pretty girl, so I was hoping my body could make up for it. But whenever I look in the mirror all I see is fat. I'm 103 pounds and 5 2 to 5 3 feet tall. I have an overly large ribcage, which is strange, and it sticks out. Therefore my abs stick out, and the thin layer of fat on my lower abs sticks out too. I used to be able to lie down and not have this problem, but now when I lie down on my back, the fat sticks up in a straight line down my stomach. I also can grab a small handful of fat from my lower abs. My waist is 25 inches, is this too fat for a girl my age? I ve even thought about hurting myself over it, that s how fat I feel I am, even though I know some of it is in my head.
