Julie,
it didn't bother her until a few people made comments.....funnily enough though its adults that have made the comments.

we've told her she looks great....slim but not too slim and more importantly healthy.

I will tell her the boobs in knickers thing though...she'll like that

Karen

I know its hard but i do hope she'll see past it

and it's also harder at that age..i mean i was 14 and this lad i fancied asked me why i wore my bikini top where i did as my hip bones stuck out more...I know i will have to same with my 2 their 10 & 8 very tall for their ages and lean

Julie

we are how we are
tell her its their own insecurities that make um so rude
she will be fine im sure,
my hubbys thin, and im not huge, when we go out wiht friends it looks like we dont eat, btu hubby has huge appetite whne he starts, and enjoys mixed grills ,
its just the person and they way they are,

give her a hug bless her,
tall and slim i bet she looks great

oh people can be cruel.

her friends have said to her shes lost weight but luckily they don't tease her.Although she's slim she has a very grown up figure......i do wonder if its jealousy,

Karen

I have two children who are under weight !!!! and the teachers keep reminding them of it .....

my son is 2 stone under weight !!!! he HAD a medicial problem but has never put it on .....

my daughter is just skinny ....

But why do people tell them this!!???
fat or thin you cant win!

Karen

That was a very loooooong lol time ago, and i probably got him back with something, oh yeah i did, 4 years after that i bumped into him in the pub, he wanted me to finish with my then B/F, told him he lost his chance

Julie

good for you,



Karen

I refused to see a certain doctor after the first time I saw him!!
I have recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure and he was the only doctor free at the time. I also wanted to discuss my knee that had been swelling up and going down for 3 months, since slipping on some very slippery flagstones, and occasionally 'popped' and made horrible grinding noises (since been diagnosed as torn cartilidge (sp))
It was a cold day, so I was wearing a thick jumper and my 'blanket' coat - big and cosy!
He didn't even look at me, nor ask my weight or whether or not I exercised, just said 'You will have to start exercising and lose a lot of weight'!!
Like that is the only cause of high BP - not!!
I pointed out that I usually walk over 2 miles every morning to work - but it was becoming a bit painful with my knee, and just how much weight did he expect me to lose - as I'm not 'officially' overweight!!

Blooming cheek!
I wonder what his attitude is to someone with a real weight problem. I hardly think he would inspire anyone to lose weight.

That's why I've avoided him since!

When I was thin, I had an uncle who would tell me everytime that I saw him that I needed to put on some weight. When I eventually did put on over a stone in weight he told me I was getting a bit chubby. Can't win with some people. It became a bit of a joke.

My neice got really chubby, the next thing we know she's grown like 4 inches in a month lol. I swear she's taller everytime I see her. She's 12.

My daughter is also a very healthy but slim size 6 but has quite large boobs for someone as skinny as her.. I tell people who make it their business to ask about her weight that when her boobs start to dissapear that is when I will start to worry, she has even been asked if she has had a boob job because "she shouldn't have that size bust being so slim"!!
Bl**dy cheek of people....It really annoys me.

As an Olive Oyl at school, and been called Skinny Lizzie often, one doctor told my mother I wasn't thin, just wiry!! Apparently that was ok!
I was never more than 8 stones at 5' 6" tall, until after I had my son and even then was only 8 and a half stones a few weeks after his birth, and by then I was 35. I have turned into my Mum now, being apple shaped and weighing nearly 14 st, which I know is too heavy, but your girl has no need to worry, and I am sure it is a bit of the green eyed monster with some of the people making comments. So long as she eats healthily and well, she is probably a lot healthier than some of her so called friends.
