Is it normal to be insecure of my body shape?

I've been told that alot of my friends are envious of me but I can't see why! They say that my body is perfect and curvy but when I look in the mirror I just don't get it. I'm a teen and they say my breasts are too big and they get in the way when I run or jump. My mom says my butt sticks out alot no matter what. I also envy how alot of girls have skinny legs. They look so much better to me. I have very fat thighs but I don't like how they look when I go to the pool so I wear shorts with my top. And alot of girls have flat stomachs, which I don't know how they manage. I am a little chubby but only a little bit. It doesn't stick out much. But I've always wanted a very skinny body but I can never get it to work! Is it normal to be so insecure?

    Worry about something more important, like your grades at school. Your body will continue to change as you get older and we always want other people's figures.

    I always hid my legs and wouldn't wear tight trousers coz of my leg muscles. Years later, the men went wild when I wore a dress and they saw my legs. I was hiding my best feature ;o(

    You`re probably not chubby you`re just insecure about your body and you can`t accept your curves. Btw you don`t sound unattractive.

    Yeah its completely normal, i dont think anyone is 100% happy with themselves or their body. Theres always atleast 1 thing they wish was different. And as for the being skinny thing it isnt everything. Ima guy and really skinny and it kinda sucks lol.

    I bet most guys wouldn't care and would only focus on two of the things you mentioned. You know which :P

    girls that have big boobs and a big butt want them to be smaller, and girls with a small butt and small boobs want them to be bigger. it's a never ending circle.

    and work out if you are super insecure! get on a healthy diet and exercise routine.
