Hi Kailey :)
Being 17, you still might be going through puberty. I'm 18 and my boobs are only a A/B cup size.. so you're not the only one who is still going through body changes.
I know you've probably heard the cliche speech on how everybody comes in different shapes and sizes. But it is true. Your body is who you are. There's only 1 of you.. unless you're a twin, but even then your body is a unique thing. There are no 2 body's that are alike. yeah they might be the same height and shape.. but there are little characteristics about your body that are completely unique and that nobody else would have.
I know you've probably heard that other cliche that goes like- just be yourself and people will love you for who you are. Well thats true too :) If guys want to make fun of you because of how your body looks.. then they are not worth your time at all. Think about it this way- if they make fun of your labia.. imagine what else they could be making fun of... why would they just pick 1 thing to make fun of?? Guys like that aren't worth anybody's time. Unfortunately, teenage boys can just be horrible. The way I see it, why would I want to be around people who are going to judge me based on something I can't control (like the size of my labia)? You can't control the size of your labia.. you might as well get used to it.
Have you ever read Seventeen magazine?? Well one time I was reading an article in it, and it was all about how you should embrace your features, instead of hiding behind them and being ashamed of them.
I have a gap in between my 2 front teeth. Its not huge, but its noticable up close. I used to absolutely hate it. I would always ask my parents to take me to the dentist so he could fix it.. but my parents said no. As I grew up, I realized I should just get used to it. After I read that Seventeen article, I realized that instead of being ashamed of my body, I should be proud of it. Now whenever I take a picture of myself, I smile really big because I want the world to see my gap between my teeth :) I love it because it makes me unique :)
I know my teeth and your labia are completely different things haha.. but my point i'm trying to make is.. don't hide who you are. Embrace it. Some guys think big labias are gross.. well then just stay away from those guys because they aren't right for you if they make fun of you. Some guys absolutely love it, well there ya go :) Just be yourself and if a guy comes along and doesn't like it, keep your head high and just tell him to kiss your ass because its who you are and you can't change it.
Oh one more thing. I play volleyball and have to wear tight spandex.. well I have a cameltoe. I think its hideous and I always wear pantyliners to hide it. but my boyfriend absolutely loves the cameltoe :) now I'm starting to embrace it because I know he loves it and it makes me feel better about myself :)
Be proud of who you are. Labias are part of the girl package. You can't get rid of them, so embrace it :)
If you need anymore help, don't be afraid to ask me. I'll be here for you :) ]
