I hate my hair. I hate my face. I hate my clothes. I hate my body. I'm not overweight or anything, but all my friends are super skinny so it makes me feel that way. For instance I went shopping with my friends and we wanted to get matching off the shoulder tops. We each got a medium.
When I wear my medium, it's only a little loose, mostly tight, and only goes down to my rib cage. When my friends wear it, it's so baggy and actually hangs off their shoulder like it should.
I'm embarrased to wear it. It's sitting in the back of my closet right now; I've only worn it once because they made me. My mom tells me I'm beautiful and I have gorgeous eyelashes...I still feel like crap.
Yeah. Sorry for ranting. :( My eyes are watering as I write this.

When I look around me at school, all I see are very fine-boned girls with narrow shoulders and thin frames, and since that's the "cool" thing for people our age, it really gets depressing sometimes. I used to be so jealous of them and wish that I could be small and cute like they were. Some of them have gorgeous curves, they have hips the same length as their shoulders and the way their legs complement their figure is very aesthetic.
And then there's me... My shoulders and broader than 98% of the guys in my school, and I have very, very narrow hips in comparison, and even in personality I'm much more masculine than many girls I know... I've gotten teased for looking "manly." Yesterday, my two friends who I was hanging out with both agreed that I looked just like a girl version of Thor (the only difference being eye colour and huge arm muscles... o_O), and when I told my mom, dad, and brother, they all agreed, too.

Um... okay, the ramble's over... but in short I guess I just want to say you're not alone, and I'm frustrated in the same way you are. To get to the point... girls get more beautiful with age and as they develop, and you shouldn't be embarassed because your body looks different than other girls'. If I were a guy, I would be pretty depressed if every girl looked the same. And plus, who would ever want to punch out a tall, broad-shouldered, strong-looking girl? ;) Also, having a strong build means that you aren't at NEARLY as high a risk for developing osteoporosis when you're older than your friends are. If you see people who are very, very thin like the girls at my school, it's not just a lack of fat... it's also a lack of muscle, most likely genetic, which will only hurt them in the end.
Also, being tall is awesome. :D

My friend is like that. She's tall, and big-boned, and strong. If you want to know, I'd give anything to be like her. It sucks so bad being small.

... Really?
O_O
I only have one other friend who's like me and we've both been jealous of petite girls for the longest time...
