Q: Sometimes... I feel so chubby.

Well, like most young teenagers, I'm obsessed with my weight and staying healthy. Actually, it's not exactly my weight... It's just that I look kind of fat. I'm 14 years old... I stand at 5' 1" and I weigh just about 105 pounds... I never thought that I was over-weight (but am I?)... It's just I look fatter than how much I really weigh. Is that even normal? Does that even make sense?(o.O) My friends are always telling me I look fine and that I'm "skinny" but I know they're just saying that so I won't feel bad. A lot of my friends weigh more than me and are taller than me... but they look more... normal. Sometimes I just think I'm insecure... or something... Should I exercise more often? Should I try to lose just a little weight? Or am I just going crazy?

Thanks...
you are absolutly positively not 100% not fat. When I was little I too suffered from what some people call 'shortie syndrom' where you look bigger because you shorter then average. If your only 14 you shouldn't be worried about your weight my god your only 14. When I was younger I was about 115 pounds and I thought I was the fattest thing on the planet. I think that (and i'm trying not to get all shrinky on you) but the media is to blame and i know you have probably heard this a billion times but love yourself for you and not what people say of you.

Thank you. :]
