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.

Whoever this happens to, call the boys out. Tell them they suck. The commodification of women's bodies in this culture is awful.

Okay, so I did cheerleading in eighth grade, but didn't try out my freshman year. I wasn't sure if that was totally me yet. But now, we will have a new coach this year, and I'm thinking of trying out. The only thing that's stopping me is what people are going to think. I'm the quiet/nice/smart girl at school, and I'm not popular, but not completely at the bottom. I want to try out because I think cheerleading is fun and lets me break out of my shell. But what if people think I'm trying to get popular? Should I still try out?







Hey girl! You should definitely tryout!  Cheerleading will totally help you to break out of your shell.  If people talk, ignore it and eventually it will die down.  People usually only gossip about others if they're jealous!  Good luck! xxoo

MOD MOD MOD!
so i went to the bahamas and me and my sisters met these guys from indiana and they were 18 and i am 13 and one of their names were taylor and i have been having dreams about him everynight and all of them are him giving me his # and hugging me and being all lovey dovey and now i cant stop thinking about him!! please help!!!

 

Hey girl!

Ah yes, summer crushes. Hate to break it to you, but your chances of seeing this hottie again are pretty slim (but maybe you could go back to the Bahamas!). Summer crushes can be so memorable and amazing. There's nothing wrong with having dreams about him and reminiscing--it's something to always remember. As time passes you'll stop thinking about him (but always have the memory of him). If he knows your name, maybe he'll friend you on facebook (or you could friend him). Just be careful not to seem to pushy and annoying. Friending him on Facebook is one thing...chatting him every day is another. Sweet dreams babe! ♥
