What to do to make your butt smaller?
Hi. Im a 14 year old tall girl who has a big butt that never stops growing. I'm sick of guys pointing out my butt to me, even though it doesn't really bother me, it just gets annoying when they're always staring at it. It's disrespectful, and I don't like it. This isn't really the reason I want to make it smaller though. It's just an extra. The reason is that I love skinny jeans and when I try them on in the stores, they're fine, even kind of loose, but when I wear them about a month later, I either;
1) Notice that they are getting tighter and tighter by the day (and no, it's not because if the dryer)
2) Notice they don't close when I actually get them up, or
3) See that they no longer fit since my legs are STILL growing (I'm 5"9') and my butt always grows along with it.
Is anyone going through what I am? What would you do in a situation like this?
I've heard of so many different excerises that make your butt bigger, but that is definately not what I'm looking for. I want to know if anyone out there knows of an excersise to make it smaller. Thank you all for answering in advance!

It is very difficult to lose weight in a particular part of your body. When your body needs extra energy, it pulls fat from all over your body and converts it into said energy. Ultimately, if you want a smaller bottom, you will have to take smaller arms, belly, breasts, etc. along with it. It also depends on why it is that your butt is bigger than you would like. I have met people with just very large, muscular behinds. They aren't fat, they just have enlarged glutes. Then there are people that tend to store fat in one particular place.
(Note) "Glutes" is the term I'm using to refer to the muscles in your butt.
Ultimately, I would start a diet. Try to keep tabs on how many calories you are consuming a day. Don't fall for fad diets, in the end calories in versus calories out is the most reliable way to lose weight. Read food labels, jot down your portions, and avoid high calorie/low nutrition foods like french fries, cookies, and soda.
Second you will want to begin a cardio routine. Biking is a great activity that will focus on your glutes helping you slim town and tone your muscle at the same time. Running/jogging/walking is another good way to burn calories. The more steep hills you have where you run, the better it will work your glutes, if you are on a treadmill, try to find one that you can set to a steep incline for the best results. Lastly, the eliptical is a good low-impact option, but it doesn't focus specifically on your problem area, so use it as a supplementary exercise.
Lastly, you will want to do some weight or resistance exercises. You should use low weight and do a lot of repetitions. Using high weight will actually cause you to bulk up, which you are trying to avoid. Low weight will tone your muscles giving you better definition and reducing cellulite without making anything bigger. I would recommend squats, lunges, "step ups", leg press, and prone leg curls. You can also do a search for "glute exercises" or just "butt exercises" which should turn up a number of other options. Your goal here is to do 20-30 repetitions per set with 30 seconds to 1 minute between sets. You can do jumping jacks or run in place between sets to further speed up the process.
I hope this helps. Feel free to send me a follow up question.
-Follow up to address your question:
Biking will tone your legs and your butt. The degree to which it tones each will depend on how you bike. If you stay seated on flat ground it will mostly tone your legs. If you stand up while pedaling and add some hills to your route it will work more on your butt. Try to incorporate a mixture to slim down overall. Use a lower resistance to avoid bulking up in that area.
In the beginning (the first week or two) you may actually grow a little in this area. Don't worry, you are building muscle and retaining a little extra water. After this, you should slim down very quickly.

You can try working out on the elliptical. It really worked for me, and shrunk my butt in half. Whenever guys are disrespectful to me, I give them a piece of my mind. Don't let them be gross!
