Somewhere here I posted lyrics to the Barlow Girls Mirror Mirror but I can't find it. Please look those lyrics up. Sweetheart, I know what it's like to want to be "thin", but will being thin change who you are? Won't you still like the same things you like now, enjoy doing the same things you do now? Our weight doesn't change our insides--our heart, our spirit, our soul. You have friends who accept you how you are. People are careless and frankly stupid. The guy that made the comment probably wouldn't even remember saying it to you if you were to ask him, but you have let it define you. Beauty doesn't have to be "stick thin", honey. I'm so sorry your mom was too busy...you're right, though, about hearing talk to someone....it will help. Those words, on that link above, were spoken by my 16 year old daughter. Take them to heart as one teenager speaking to another. No matter your weight, you are wonderful, you are beautiful, you are you. Please look up the lyrics to Mirror Mirror from Barlow Girls...it's a wonderful song that I hope you think of next time you look in the mirror.
