knees that point inwards
hey i dont know if im in the right section for this but im really self conscious. Im 14 and I have wonky toes and toenails, skinny arms, too long arms, bony wrists, massive hands, hands that go bright red in the cold, wonky,bony fingers, wonky fingernails, very skinny neck, small head, fat nose, fat lips, downward slanting eyes and frizzy/wavy hair but the thing that bugs me the most is my legs.
they would be alright but my knees point inwards but the rest of my legs are normal. I am too ashamed to go swimming in a swimming costume or wear shorts or a skirt, i am too ashamed to take dance because of the costumes they wear. Is ther any way to possibly straighten them out like a brace or something or should i not worry about it. and what would you do in my situation?
thankx

Hey!
your knees sound exactly like mine! I actually have scoliosis so while i was at my bone doctor one day i asked him why my knees point inward and how to fix it. I cant remember what he told me it was called but that they make you run faster :) i know its really embarrassing to stand straith with your legs together cause everyone can see them pointing together, i ofter stand with my legs slightly apart or my foot pointing out. i cant describe it but its not weird looking or anything, you can try a few poses out in the mirror to see what they look like, and when you walk, you dont even notice. as for fixing it- sadly the only was is surgery i was willing to do everything but that- they actually have to brake both legs and reset them so that the knees are placed normally- as you can imagine its really painful. Anyways Hope i helped! Goodluck! and dont feel so self consious, have fun. as i said there are ways to stand that make it not noticable

Don't worry about it. You are who you are. Maybe you should take a body image class.
Are you from the UK? No one in America says "swimming costume", so for next time, maybe more people will know what you're saying...
