	my best friend is 'perfect' stop whistling at me! piercing vs. my parents my boyfriend loves britney i get teased because i am fat i look ugly in pictures... i look horrible in photos. i've got scars on my legs. I am getting my wisdom teeth out and I am really scared. are you supposed to shave down there? the boys in school make jokes about my boobs... i still feel like that fat girl. my eyebrows make me really self-conscious. they think i'm anorexic, but i'm not. i'm embarrassed to buy birth control. i'm afraid to go to the prom because of my back acne. everyone sees me as a tomboy... i have pale skin. should i go to the tanning salon? everybody makes fun of my big nose. i'm really self-conscious of this huge birthmark on the back of my leg. does your first time always have to be with someone you love? i have a hard time finding clothes that fit. where should i shop?

Everyone sees me as a tomboy because that's how I was when I was little. I'm 18 now and I wouldn't mind being a "girly-girl" every once in a while. But I HATE attention and I know as soon as I change my look, I will be the center of attention.

Also, I would like to wear skirts and things like that, but my legs are really pale. I also have scars on my inner legs (from my ankle to my knee) from where I used to self-mutilate when I was younger.

Anyone have advice on how I can ease into being girly?

    Well, if you really want to be a girly girl then you just have to do it, if you know what I mean! You could always search the internet for some ways or just look in magazines. About your pale legs...you kinda just have to deal with them. I mean you could try getting a tan, if you really wanted. xxx
