The danger in life is seeing in yourself what you are not. It's a losing battle, For every girl that feels she is not skinny enough, there may be someone looking at them wishing they had a nicer figure. Curly haired girls straighten their hair in the same salon that gives perms to straight haired girls. The question isn't "why can't I be something I am not?" but "Why can't I accept myself as I am?"

I think it's an issue of perception. In our society, being skinny is valued a lot and we tend to look around us and notice skinny people, which are the people we want to be like because that's what society tells us is good. But really not every girl is skinny. We notice them more, but that doesn't mean there are more skinny girls and our perception of our own bodies makes us compare ourselves to them in such a way that we think they are skinnier but maybe they aren't. So that's part 1: not every girl is skinny and I think it is important to realize that. Part 2 is that we all look different and have a different genetic make up. There's nothing wrong with that, but it does mean that we all look unique and our bodies are unique. Some of us just aren't skinny and that is okay. Society says "hey, no that's not okay" but it is okay. I recently saw a picture of about 6 girls that all weighed 154 pounds and while none of them looked "fat" per se, there was a girl that was very skinny and weighed that much but there was also a girl that looked like "hey, maybe she does weigh about that much" -- in my perspective, which is based on what I've been taught by society. It's okay to be who you are as long as you are healthy. Own your body as your own, love it, and take care of it because it is unique, special, a part of where you came from...and it might not be skinny, but then again a lot of people aren't skinny and if they are, well, they may have made themselves look skinny and might be taking away from the uniqueness that is actually really them. Take care of yourself.

Because everyone is different. Don't focus on your weight. Focus on your life. Do what makes you happy, do your best to try new and healthy foods, and most of all love your body like goddess you are.

First of all, not every girl is skinny, keep that in mind. Second of all, you're beatiful having the body shape that you have. Not everyone weight the same, you know? This society is all about variety. You're perfect, and you should love yourself. You're an unique and irreplaceable being!

Every girl is different. Some have different bone structures, some have slow metabolisms, some are just prone to gaining weight quicker. And I promise, not every girl is skinny. The important thing is that you don't let your weight define you. Don't let that number get in your head. Every girl is different. Some girls hate being skinny because they're underweight to the point that it's unhealthy. It depends on the girl and genetics. Just love you for you, and then everyone else will love you for who you are also.

Body image is something that isn’t given the respect and support it deserves. The perception that “every†girl is skinny is false, because girls are unique with so many different shapes and sizes, each and every one beautiful. Try not to compare yourself to others as that will never do you any good, but know that the representation of a “perfect†girl with a “perfect†appearance is based on what society and the media deems beautiful. It’s really hard when you see that image painted everywhere, but try to make your own image. Redefine beauty, and defy all those stereotypes. You are beautiful, regardless of your flaws
