Hey everyone! My name is Kristen, I'm 20 and I'm a college junior studying pharmacy. I've been blessed with a really good life, and part of the reason for that is because I've learned to see GOOD in everything that happens to me. I love giving advice, and I've been told that I do a good job at it, but I'll let you decide! Feel free to ask me anything... don't be shy, that's why I'm here. I've been through a lot... moving from one country to another, leaving and finding new friends, break ups, boys, middle school, high school, college, self esteem issues... pretty much most things that people need help with.
I usually spend a good amount of time answering your questions, so I would really appreciate it if you leave me an honest rating along with some feedback (good or bad!) It really does help me improve my advice... and in the end, that's good for YOU! Talk to ya soon! :)

okay well i weigh around 117 pounds and im about, 5'4. I am turning 15 this year. I am convinced that im fat, i hate myself for it too, i watch what i eat 24/7 and even though people tell me im not, i still feel that i am. I am probley one of the most self concious people. so i guess im asking about what i should weigh
you are deffinitely not fat at all! i can't believe you think that! i'm 5'3 and 113 pounds and i'm one of the skinniest people i know (and all my best friends are twigs too)! my little 14 year old sister is the same weight and height as you and she looks great, so i know you do too!
it's normal for a girl your age to feel this way... you are still learning to love your body and love yourself for who you are. there is nothing you need to do about your weight, because it is ideal! if you are any skinnier, you wouldn't look good... you would be skin and bones, with no curves whatsoever! what you should be doing is reassuring yourself everyday that you look good until you learn to love yourself. look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are beautiful and look great... even if you don't think that at first, eventually you will believe it and be truly happy! :) many girls would kill for your body, so stop freaking out!
(Rating: 5) thanks, that really helped :D
