Screw You, I'm Pretty
I am not one of the thinnest girls in the world. Hell, I'm chubby. But what I never understood was the obsession with being thin. I just don't get it. Love yourself, and you'll be loved. It's my philosophy. It's a rather recent discovery of self that put that thought in my head, and I think it's pretty damned accurate. I'm 16, I swoon after boys all day long. But the thing of it is, they won't swoon back. And the first thought that came to mind was "Oh well, I'm too fat, I'll be alone forever." And it was a bloody depressing thought. I was clinically depressed for my second year of high school. I was a physical and emotional wreck. I also blame my mother (oh, here comes the bitching about the unsuspecting parent) for always telling me not to eat too much, and that I'll get fatter, and that no man would ever marry me. Even to this day, whenever I casually mention myself and marriage, she looks at me, rolls her eyes and says "Really now?" It's a bitch move.
I know that teenage boys don't really care about your personality. They want the prospects of a porn star. They want the hot body and the sexy voice. Sorry to break it to you, no one really looks like a porn star.But I digress. I had a shit childhood, and it made my self-esteem go down the drain. But now I know who I am, I know that some day a guy will want me, I know that I'll get married and have kids. I'm young. I have all the time in the world to do these things, so right now I'm happy. And I plan to have dated someone by the end of this year.So screw you, boys who never flit my bill, I think I'm pretty enough for your attention. But maybe I don't even need it.Thoughts?

screw boys.
I think you're sexy as hell just for writing that.
Boys suck.
@gazeperception@xanga - i agree
keep that confidence, and you'll do just fine!
I take offense =(
Fuck Shallow Bitches, :)
Much love :D
You rock!!! Keep that frame of mind, and I happen to think you're very pretty!
Yeah, people with all kinds of physical attributes considered unattractive complain about never receiving attention from the opposite sex.
Get over it. People are into all kinds of different things physically, and there's a lot of people who would consider you quite attractive. You might not fit the current widely held perception of beauty, but it's not like you can change people's minds, so it's a waste of time to get indignant about it.
Would you find a guy with a disgusting skin disease and bad odor to be attractive? Would you appreciate being called shallow by him?
I'm chubby, too, but I think I'm pretty but not in a stuck up way. I think as long as you're confident (which I admit, I'm not most of the time!), you're totally attractive.
You rock for writing this, because I've felt like this a lot. (:
yeah, fuck shallow bitches. Inner happiness and personally feeling healthy in all aspects is all that matters. for the most part people of all sexes and races suck ass, if they didn't real people would have millions of friends.
If people are dumb enough to be brainwashed by society - you don't want them.
Take a sociology course.
/end advice
good for you. you have to love yourself. it's always one thing with a lot of mothers. for mine, it was either my weight--you're too skiiny--or you're not as pretty as so and so's daughter or you don't smile enough and it makes you look ugly. i'm not doing that my daughter.
There is always this belief that sometimes the girls who look like pornstars aren't as interesting in personality as the ones who have their flaws. I'd give them some time to grow stronger eyes, and figure out which one is best to go to.
There is also a reason we men, who don't look like bodybuilders, don't easily get that desired girl either. We wouldn't know what to do with that stereotypical pretty girl, if we had her.
I didn't date all throughout high school and attributed it to this or that flaw. Now that I look back, I"m immensely glad that I didn't put myself through all that wreckage and self-torment. It's good to know the future holds better prospects than the present.
Aww,
I just love you =]
You'll find someone.
And to what degree, might I ask, is the accuser the guilty party?
Just about every guy I know do not like thin girls. They like girls who are in good health and in good shape.
Thats a good philosophy.
You rock.
You're my fucking hero. (:
awww, I'm proud of you hon <3
I always feel that same way. but eventually I'll get to where you are too (:
love it!!
i can relate :)
