I have a huge gut as well. *high fives* You're not fat. Seriously.

KP's "comment famine" still seems to be going strong, unfortunately. <:^/ So it's not just you or something you did that explains why not many people are commenting, if that makes you feel any better. Don't worry too much about it, though--as soon as summer break starts for everyone, people will have MUCH more free time, and more will to read and comment. ^_^

Don't feel bad about feeling the way you're feeling. (...*re-reads what I just typed* I hope that made sense. XD) ALL of us here on KP go through those mixed feelings when we don't get many comments. <:^J It'll get better. Don't worry.

And, while we're on the topic, Arin, I haven't spoken to you in a while, so I actually don't know what stories you're working on right now. O_O May I please have a link to whatever your main project is, now? :D

D: Don't be afraid....it's alright, Tredom.... *pats on the back*

I'm not sure if this will help you right at this moment, but, it's all that I can think to give you right now, since it's always helped me tremendously:
Questions Young People Ask: Vol. 1
Questions Young People Ask: Vol. 2
You can download both books as a PDF. I know they have a lot of Bible-based advice in them, which I'm not quite sure how you feel about, but they DO have a lot of solutions and advice that will work for anyone, no matter what they believe or don't believe. The books deal with all sorts of topics and issues--depression, dealing with family members, making friends, how to respect yourself more and be less self-hating, pretty much any kind of school issue you could think of, and MUCH much more. I don't expect you to read them if you don't want to, of course. But I do think browsing through the tables of contents would be worth it, just to see if anything piques your interest. <:^)

Define too much. Too much to whom? Society? Your friends? People who pick on you? Guys that you don't know yet? As long as you're not overweight to the point that it seriously affects your health, Tess...you shouldn't be worrying about it. Some people's metabolism is just lower than others. It's not just how much you eat--it's also your genes. And there's no point worrying about something that you can't change, like genes. <:^J

But, like you said, at least this issue isn't life-threatening or anything. Just...try not to be so hard on yourself. <:^) Alright? You're beautiful. Don't worry about it.

I used to have problems with my appearance now I look I the mirror and go:

Meh, whatever. ._.

I'm sorry, Owen. :( You don't deserve any of those insults. And NONE of them are true. Don't you ever get it into your head that they might be true. <:^/
*points to the links I gave LST* Maybe those will help...?

They are true.

Maybe.

BABY SNOW MONKEY! X3 *awws over the GIF for a moment, and then laughs at how you used it in this context* How clever. ^_^

I know what you mean. As long as my hair isn't all tangled and my clothes are perfectly clean, I don't really care how I look anymore. XD I just have my moments of self-consciousness (that can sometimes get kind of intense...>_>) sometimes. But, other than that, I'm the same as you. :P

O_O

They.

Are.

Not.

True.

e_e You are awesome, and they are all just being shortsighted and rude and cruel. Ignore them the best you can.

That's a relief.

When do you get off school?

THAT'S THE RIGHT ATTITUDE.
IS THAT THE ONE FROM BBC
