Exactly. I can't say that I've gained TONS of weight, obviously but I have gained some, and others around me have gained more, and then I become thankful that I still have a pretty good metabolism, and yell at myself for trying to change that when I was younger. ^^; Now I'm so thankful for it. ♥

^ This.

It doesn't have to be about your appearance! I know the kids in your school are making it that way or whatever, but if you shrug off any physical flaws you may have and start bringing the attention to the beauty of your mind, then that's what will matter. And really, being loved for the beauty of your mind is just so much more rewarding than being loved for your physical beauty.

Exactly. People notice confidence and individuality way more than the so called imperfections that you notice about yourself. :)
