I'm a 12 year old guy (almost 13) and am sick of being so young for so damn long. I am relatively thin (mostly down to metabolism though since I haven't been going to the gym for a few months now). I've been considering kicking the bucket completely and getting fat since I'm not going to need good looks for AGES (oh I'm sure ill be 18 in a second).

P.S. I'm not in depression or anything, I have many groups of friends and am generally happy (wow and bass guitar keep me busy).:confused:

Let me see you are not happy with maintaining your weight and looks so you want to get fat and live as being fat until you get tired of that and omg I don't want to be fat anymore and I better get back in shape I am going on 30 and my metabolism has slowed down what do I do... yrs later and hundreds of diets later... omg I am an over weight senior citizen!
Listen to some good music and play your bass... enjoy!

Putting it on is Sooooo easy, Taking it off is SOOOO hard. Besides being thin places you in the category of a "girl magnet". Develop and keep your good habits. Enjoy being a teenager, but don't pig out.

Give it a couple of years and you will most likely notice quite a change in your build. You are on the verge of that at this age. Getting fat will only harm your health and make it more difficult for you later on... besides, 12 and 13 year old girls, like 12 and 13 year old boys! Focus on getting some regular execise, hanging out with your friends, your music, etc.. Taking care of yourself now will put you ahead of many of the other guys when you hit 16, 17, etc.. And trust me, you will be thankful for it!

Don't "get fat" just because you are impatient about being young. Makes no sense and its self destructive.

Younger people who are overweight face can suffer the same medical consequences older people can. Makes no sense to stress your body, tax your vascular system, increase your chance for diabetes, amp your risk for being an obese adult, etc...

If you are ticked about being "young too long", fine. Don't take it out on your body. You can easily do damage that will be there for years. Boredom or frustration isn't worth the cost that you can pay.

I was really skinny my entire life I think I weighed 80lbs in the 9th grade (I'm also short). I played football and basketball all 4 years of high school and I don't think I ever weighed more then 140 lbs. When I got out of High school I kept working out but I finally put on 10lbs of muscle. Putting on that fat is a bad move. Just stay healthy and keep working out and you will be fine.

I understand. I used to be impatient to get older all the
Time, and I was skinny, and looked at all the bigger
Guys, comparing them with myself. Just be patient, it'll
Pass. One thing you can do, is find out what skills you
Have that they don't. I know school is a place where
Everyone compares themselves to others, but really, if I could
Go back and redo it, I would ignore all that and focus
On how much I could broaden my horizons. Then, when people
Commented on my in-abilities, I would just ignore them,
Cause they don't really know the real me. It's a time for
Young people to find their identities. And remember that
You're the only you there is... and you're needed by your
Family. Really, you're important to this world.
