Shoulders
I'm not sure where to put this exactly so I'm sorry if this isn't the right category.
I have really broad shoulders for a girl and it's one of the things I've always been self-conscious about. I always wear shirts with sleeves on them because I feel really uncomfortable showing my upper arms which are kinda flabby and my broad shoulders. I was just wondering if there was any way for me to make them a bit.. smaller I guess, not so manly. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Build up your hips and thighs.
Seriously.
You can't make your shoulders any narrower. It's bone. It's just not going to happen.
You also can't lose the flesh under your arms just by doing upper arm exercise. You can tone it, and make it appear firmer and less flabby, but it won’t shrink. You can't 'spot treat' fat, you either lose weight all over, or you don't. Arm exercises are a good idea, because your upper arms will look less droopy, but they won’t appear any smaller.
What you CAN do is build up the muscles on your lower body to compliment your strong upper body. It's more about proportions then anything else and what we think of as 'normal' on women is a weaker upper body then lower. So tone up and thicken your butt, thighs and calves.
Finally, learn to stand up straight. Practice correct posture while you are sitting in class or at the computer. Google some techniques for learning how to carry yourself comfortably. Learning to roll your shoulders down and back is tough, but it’s better for your back in the long run, it will help you build muscle and it will probably make you feel more comfortable with your proportions too.

two things.
1. try some upper arm exercises do them twice a week or every day. after a little the flabby should be gone. lifting weights help, u can look up online at fitness websites for exercises.
2. i don't know if there is a way to make your shoulders smaller... but i do know that if you watch the Olympics in swimming you will see that all the girls there have broad shoulders and it doesn't look bad! it makes you look strong but you can still be elegant and pretty with them. everything looks worse to the actual person then other people so don't worry about it im sure your shoulders look fine!
