my best friends birthday is tomorrow [8/11] and shes having a pool party. im going, but theres going to be a lot of people there [boys too] and im embarrassed of going in the pool since im 14&wear a one piece. im just not comfortable in a 2 piece. I tried asking my friend to not make me go in the pool but she says I have to. Plus on top of that i look absolutley HIDEOUS in a bathing suit. My thighs are just...awful. Im a very shy person and i know ill be embarrassed beyond what i could imagine, since im not exactly skinny. what should I do?

Just something that you might check out if you are really set on wearing a two piece. (i think i got mine at like JC Penny's or Kohls) [ lyonzrule's advice column | Ask lyonzrule A Question ]

Or a 2piece with board shorts... If not just simply tell you friend that you"ll just put your feet in or just hand by the food corner (if they have one) if none of these work just be honest with her and tell her the truth if she's a friend she"ll understand

If your self consios about the top you could always where a t-shirt over. if it's just the bottem buy trunks (no seriosly) and where them over a black one piece. i would go with that because black will match any pattern and you won't be all hiding yourself. but mostly just remember no one's flawless. even the girls you think look perfect are probably all "does this make my butt look big?" Hope that helps(if i'm not too late). have fun at the party. [ 9BigBrat6's advice column | Ask 9BigBrat6 A Question ]
krazyismefosho answered Friday August 11 2006, 2:59 pm: Honestly, nobody really cares or notices how you look in a bathing suit if you are confident and look like you dont care. I've been to a bunch of boy/girl pool parties and if you are insecure the party's not as fun as it could be.
I'd actually wear a two piece, even if you are insecure, because it will show that you are confident of yourself and your body and that you don't care what other people think. Then they won't bother you.
Good luck and have fun!
confusedbabii answered Friday August 11 2006, 12:48 am: well. i think that you should wear a 2 piece, but wear a tank top with it. it'll look cute and no one is going to say anything. plus, you can always go into the pool for a while to please your friend, and then get out and talk to people that arent in the pool and just wear your normal clothes. that way you can please your friend and not have to be in the pool all day.

lilteacup answered Thursday August 10 2006, 11:11 pm: I would just say try to have a blast! Try not to think of it. I mean when you are in the water, it's not like everyone will be looking @ you. Just enjoy it and try to suck it up for your best friend =].
