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
