Score locker room body confidence

I’m scared about the locker room in sixth grade! I am smaller than all my friends and I’m kind of flat chested. I’m worried that I will be smaller than all of the other girls. Any tips?

 

In a locker room, it’s easy to start comparing bodies, but you just have to stop! Everyone’s unique and we all have great qualities, so why dwell on the negative things? It’ll only get you down. Try focusing on the amazing things that you love about yourself, like your amazing math skills, athletic ability or outgoing personality. You could even make a list of all those great qualities and tape it to your mirror. Anytime you’re feeling insecure, just take some time to look back at it, and you’ll soon realize that you’ve got a lot more going for you than you might think!

 

You may not realize it, but even the most confident-looking girls still get insecure sometimes. Nobody’s perfect, and we all have things we envy about one another. The important thing is to accept yourself for who you are, and keep your confidence up. If you feel confident, you’ll be confident—it’s as easy as that!

I'm really happy because I think I've discovered myself, I'm emo. The HUGE problem is, is I can't have the look because my parents would flip out. They're starting to get the idea and they don't like it. I have the clothes to make the look, but I'm afraid I'll walk out the way I LIKE, and they'd flip out. I know they would, no doubt. I can't talk to them about it either, they hate emo people and wouldn't understand at all. They'd just find it as another excuse to talk to my therapist. (Yeah, because of them, I have one) So what do I do? /:




Hey girl,

I know you'd be totally comfortable rocking this look from head-to-toe but, since your parents might not really understand it, try to incorporate pieces of the look into your everyday style. That way, you'll start to feel more like yourself but you'll also introduce it to them slowly, without overwhelming them. Start with a shirt you like, for example. Then start darkening your makeup if you'd like. A haircut can also help. Doing these things slowly and balancing them with more familiar style choices can really be a great compromise between the both of you Smile

I was just wondering if baking soda is a safe way to whiten teeth? Also, my arms are skinny and I want them to get more muscle and looked toned. Do you have any workouts to get them better? Thank you!




Try not to use baking soda for brushing your teeth several times a day since it's really harsh, but brushing them at night with baking soda and a bit of water will definitely make a difference! I do that and it definitely cleans stains off your teeth well Smile As for your arms, we have lots of exercises to keep 'em fit. Check out our Workouts section!

I was never awkward because i was always surronded by friends and the gym teacher was my home room teacher. we always sang songs and told jokes and talked about anything we would talk about in the caf or hallways. it really took some edge off.
