You're 16...11th grade....115 lbs. and you think you're fat?! I don't know what kind of mirror you are looking in but you're soooooo wrong. I'm sure you are GORGEOUS and don't think you're fat! You probably think you're fat cause you have a fear of getting fat. Just take care of yourself, watch what you eat, and work out! Trust me, you are not fat, don't think that about yourself!

You're not fat at ALL. Start listening to what other people are telling you, because they're right =)

115 pounds?? Are you crazy?? That's not fat at all. You sound totally skinny. I wouldn't do anything. If you're really insecure, try exercising or pick up a new sport. But don't do anything that could hurt your body cause that isn't overweight.. trust me.

Well first off, heres why you need to stop thinking that. My sister always thought she was 'fat' and she really wasnt. And her turnout isnt so good right now. She has anorexia and would do anything to take all the thoughts that she was fat, back. So I'm not trying to freak you out or whatever but just KNOW that you are under average wieght for your age, and hieght! I actually found that out online. But anyway, friends dont usually lie. Of course if they thought you were 'fat' they wouldnt say anything mean but they sure wouldnt say 'your so skinny' and stuff like that. How about eating a little healthier though? No need to work out but im sure you'll feel better for eating an apple as a snack over a big hunk of ice cream. You'll start feeling better b/c you know your eating things that are good for you, there fore your not a fat pig! Hope i helped. If you need help about that moms- boyfriend situation, send one to my inbox I am more than willing to help. Good luck :-D

Hate to tell you this, but, well... you ARE skinny. Your weight is nothing to worry about. Stop looking in the mirror and judging yourself - stop attempting to hold yourself to some either non-feasable or ill-conceived standard. You're fine. And everyone had some amount of body fat... in fact, if a person's body fat is too low, they are at serious health risk to themselves - our bodies need some fat.

Stop looking in mirrors, only to pour hate over what you see - that will get you nowhere fast.

Next time you walk past a mirror - give it the finger. And as you do, look at your own face in the reflection and smile, because you'll know there's not a damned thing the mirror can do about it ;)
