How can I stop feeling weird about my body; especially my height?

I’m about to start high school in about a month, but I should be starting 8th grade, and I’m 5’7 1/2. I’m taller than most of female seniors who go to my school. Also, I developed quicker than most of the girls at my school to, I’m more curvy, like Kim Kardashian curvy. Over the summer I went up a cup size, my hips got wider, and I lost A LOT of weight from my midsection. The majority of the girls at my school are pretty much stick skinny or have very little curves.

Answer #1

You sound great to me, I bet a lot of girls are jealous at how you look!

Answer #2

I’m in the same boat homegirl. I’m 5’11” which makes me taller than a lot of the guys even. It makes me like extremely self conscious, but if you walk around awkwardly it looks worse..so just work it!

Answer #3

Actually most of the kids in my grade treat me really differently because of it. Most of the boys look at me like I’m weird and most of the girls are usually whispering about me behind my back.

Answer #4

First no one like stick thin girls, curves are great to have! I;m sure growing up Kim Kardashian was was in the same situation as you. & a lot of times when girls make fun of other girls its just cause they are jealous, and they don’t have what you have so they make fun of you instead. It’s very common. Don’t worry before you know it they will be taller too, to match you. Your like a model size, you have to be tall to be a model.

Answer #5

Being tall is beautiful :D you should love it! im 5’9

Answer #6

thanx :)

Answer #7

I’m tall also, but not very curvy. Trust me, even the most fit and beautiful girl at your school has insecurities, I’m sure of it. Everyone wants what they can’t have. I wish I had your curves! But then there are those days where I LOVE my body. Wear things that make you feel comfortable, write a list of all the positive things you see in yourself, and tell yourself you’re beautiful, because you are! And act confident even if you aren’t, because a girl who acts confident looks good.

Answer #13

Honestly, there is nothing at all wrong with being tall. Personally, I’d rather be tall than short. You really should embrace the height. Many girls in high school, especially, have insecurities.. so don’t feel like you’re alone or anything. Be proud of your height, walk with good posture & no one will notice how tall you are, just the confidence that you give off. :) goodluck.
