GUYS | DEAR CAROL

Bikini blues: Guys won't stop gawking!


 
I am 12, but my body looks a lot older. Guys never talk to me or hang out with me…until I have on a bathing suit. When I go to the pool with my girl friends, I am usually correct when I say, “Here come the boys.”

Dear I’m Not My Body,

These years can be exasperating! Fortunately, guys and girls keep growing up—emotionally and physically—and, one day, this situation will be different. For now, you could throw a T-shirt over your bikini, shop for a swimsuit that downplays your curves or figure out where you could enjoy a girls-only swim. Better still would be to take a deep breath and recognize that just about every girl is self-conscious about breast size, underarm hair, height, weight or an otherwise changing body. While your bod may feel foreign to you now, you will eventually feel more comfortable in your skin. And once everyone hits puberty, no one will care who got there first.

I have a similar issue. I am almost 13 and my breasts are really big. Like a cup size B! Also, I have a bikini, and I can see my nipples thought since its a kid bikini without padding. What do I do about this?

Hey girlie,

I would talk to your mom about shopping for a new top that has lining in it so you'll have more protection. I'm sure she would understand if you explain the issue!

that happens

I'm only 13 and my mom always says "those guys r checking u out!" and they're like way older than me! Well, it does help boost self confidence i guess and it's better than being bullied

I have the same problem. Its terrible. And some of my closest friends are boys and they stare too and are awkward. I have like two guy friends that don't out of 10.

Hey guys, so I get crushes, like every normal girl, but unlike everyone else, no one ever likes me back. I was in love with this guy on my lacrosse team for about 6 months, but he never noticed me. Idk how to talk to guys and I'm not exactly sure how to flirt either. Does anyone have any suggestions? People tell me I'm pretty, but I need to know how to go the extra mile in that I want guys to notice me! Pleasepleaseplease help me...!!!
