Check these out, too...
Up until the 1900s, wealthy young women in China had their feet bound because small feet were considered ladylike and beautiful. Much like having pale skin several hundred years ago in Western Europe meant that you didn’t have to work outdoors and were thus part of the upper class, having your feet bound in China meant that you physically couldn’t work. Binding your feet started at a very young age—from two to five years old—and involved breaking the toe joints so you could bend them toward the sole of your foot. It was incredibly painful and often resulted in infection and life-long disability.
I’m not telling you this to gross you out, but to show you how some women have gone to great lengths for smaller feet. While I’m sure there are some surgeons out there who would be willing to alter the length of the bones in your feet to make them smaller, I am just as sure that there are far more surgeons and doctors who would absolutely not recommend destroying your body in such a way.
I know it’s not fun to be limited by your shoe size, but instead of thinking of what your feet don’t allow you to do, like wearing a lot of girly shoes, focus on what they can do, like carry you across the finish line when you run the mile in gym. To find the shoes you’re craving, you might have to get creative. Try shopping online at places like Zappos, which let you search by shoe size to find the pair of your dreams.

I really don't think you want small feet. I am 11 years old and wear size 13 (childrens) It is really embarressing because I can only wear kiddie shoes. I think you are lucky to have big feet.

MOD MOD MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! okay, I'm 14 years old and I have been babysitting for my neighbors across the street for about 2 years, and they have three girls age 5, 3, and 1.5 years old. I recently did an over-night babysitting and was there for 19.5 hours. I only got $80. Yes, that does seem like a lot, but that's only $4 an hour. And that's for making dinner, breakfast, snacks, lunch, changing the lil one, etc... I feel as though i was slightly cheated out of money because they normally pay $5 an hour, and that would've summed up to $95. I don't know what to do or say, if anything, because they are kind of stone hard parents. I also looked up the average pay for a babysitter in my area, and it's $7 an hour, even more than I expect and would add up to $136. WHAT SHOULD I DO?! Hey babe, You could have a talk with them and say that you have some items for school that you need money for, or even something more casual like you need to save up to buy a present for your mom's birthday, and kindly ask if they'd mind bumping your wages up a dollar or two. Or if you're nervous, have a parent give them a call. Jordan S.

I'm just like you,I'm almost thirteen and I can fit into a size 11. Its so hard to find shoes! But don't get surgery,really, don't. Show your confidence in yourself instead of changing yourself.

MODMODMOD I'm in seventh grade, I'm 6 foot 1 and everybody else in my school is really short. I tower over everybody else in my school, and people are always acting like I chose to be this tall. When I say this, I mean like I get dirty looks from people who I have never talked to, people are making comments on my height, and they've started to call me "giraffe girl". How can I learn to deal with this, and how should I respond to a rude comment from somebody?
