Fussy Eater
I am told and must admit I'm a fussy eater. I am male and 16.
The thing is I eat quite routinely. My breakfast always consists of Wheetabix, lunch always consists of Tomato Sauce sandwiches! Amongst other things, eg yesterday I also had a doughnut, banana and sausage roll along side that.
The thing is if I was offered Spaghetti, curry, Pasta or something I'd reject it. I think truthfully I've never tried them, I just feel like I wont like them.
I also have a problem with fruit and drink. I feel I don't like strawberrys, oranges, grapes etc but I love the drinks!
Whats the case here?! Should I try and eat the stuff I hate or something?

Spaghetti and pasta is one thing-- curry is a spice and something entirely different. Not everyone likes curry.
Hey, you are not unusal--but were probably raised as a baby-child that you didn't have to eat what was served and kids turn their noses up to everything growing up.
Now that you are mature, give it a bite. Hey, one bite.
Everyone's spaghetti is different. But be opened minded and try one bite. Pasta dishes varies, but try one bite. What's the worse thing that can happen? You don't like it and spit it out?
What's the best thing that can happen? You like something and have added another good food to your liking!
If you like fruit drinks, you most likely will like the fruits. Some exceptions though, are that some textures of a fruits might bother you. Some people love the smell of watermelon and taste of watermelon candies but hate the texture of the real watermelon. Same as coffee. Some people hate coffee but love the smell of coffee brewing.
Try a bite of anything, and if you don't like it, let everyone know you plan to spit it out in a napkin.
And, you gotta try different breakfast and lunches and stop limiting yourself to the exact same things over and over again.
Be a free spirit-- you might like more foods that you'd ever think!

There's nothing wrong with it, but you should try & eat them because you might find you really like them. I used to HATE watermelon, but I started eating it like 2 summers ago, and it's basically pretty amazing stuff. I love it. I regret not eating it all those years.
Try it & see how you like it. You might not, and if you don't -- cool, then don't eat it anymore. If so, keep eating. Also, it's best not to be so fussy with what you eat because if you don't eat certain things you could be missing a ton of nutrients & proteins [sp?] that your body needs.

Nothing wrong in my opinion about being a fussy eater at all. Some people are just fussy about what they do and don't eat and there's others who like to try a wide range of foods to experiment.
I will happily try new things just for the experience and such (I've never tried lobster but that's the next thing on my list of things to try as well as haggis) but there are some things I will just refuse to eat - like extremely exotic foods and some sea foods.
It's really up to you because if you feel you are happy how you are then by all means there's no need to change. If you feel though that you do want to try new things and experience things then go for it! There's no harm at all in trying and you never know you may even like some of those things that you always thought you wouldn't like. :] There's no harm in giving it a try.
