How come I don't feel nervous about having to swim in school?
Question Posted Saturday October 5 2013, 12:16 am
I am in high school and we are doing a swim unit. Boys and girls are both in the class. I am a very anxious and nervous person but I find myself not caring at all about being in a swimsuit in front of the class especially girls and yet I have some stretch marks? Why is this? How can this happen when I am usually anxious? I am a 15 year old boy by the way

No matter what age i am, i have always found i gained more confidence for more situations as my life as gone on and it hasnt changed yet. Just enjoy it dear. Many people have stretch marks from the body having a change in weight faster than the skin can adjust to. No one person is as perfect looking in Hollywood as made out to be. Camera's and makeup are very deceiving so whether men or women, celebs. come with stretch marks, pimple scars, freckles, sun damage spots and of course various body shapes. What is presented on TV or in magazines is not real life. If you ever find that a girl doesn't think you're good looking enough, she's too shallow and not worth it. Everyone has different tastes in what they are attracted to, same goes for you. So enjoy being you and don't let any anxioties come creeping back ever.
