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.

Ugh that happens to me I'm 23 and a 32C and have to wear Levi's supreme curve jeans ugh! I just wear board shorts over my swimsuit or boyshorts and a bandeau tankini that is a halter because it allows for more boob coverage. Guys never notice me until I wear a swimsuit too! It gets annoying but I just know they're perverted and immature and they'll gets over and that theyre not worth my time at the moment.

Lots of people WANT to look older think of yourself lucky and stay happy and just think how this can be a PRO not a CON.

So my BGF likes me, and i've thought about it. the real thing that bothers me though is he's being all romantic about it, saying things like "i would do anything for you," and "i would change for you,". its really creeping me out and i don't like him like that, but i also don't want to hurt his feelings. Help!

Hey girl,

If you don't like him, you need to tell him the truth -- it will only hurt him more if you lead him on and he finds out later! Tell him you like him as a friend and want to maintain your friendship, but that you're not interested in being anything more right now.

I feel bad because I haven't been on this site in like forever but I really need help...a few days ago I was raped by my bestest (guy) friend...I finally told my parents the day after (the guilt was eating me alive) and they took me to the hospital and the police were called and all that stuff..it's just that I'm scared I'm pregnant. I had to take the plan B pill but my gut feeling is just not going away...do you think it's really my gut feeling or is it my mind playing games with me...?? thank you so much<3



Hey girl, 


I can only imagine how tough things are for you. Because we wish

you only the best, it’s extremely important that you speak to a trusted

adult, such as a family member, doctor, guidance counselor, teacher,

etc. ♥, Your Blog Patrol Babes
