Ever since I was little I was made fun of because I wasnt as developed as the other girls in my class. I didnt get my period until i was 14 while the others got theirs from the ages of 9-13. What hurt the most is that the boy I had a huge crush on was involed in the harassment. Now being older I still have the same problem but its gotten alot worse. I refuse to wear a bathing suit without clothes over or look at myself naked in the mirror. it had got so bad I wanted to commit suicide over this. I cant even have sex without feeling uncomfortable. What can I do???

    What is ugly and what is pretty? Is pretty a face with no blemishes, and eyes in just the right place? Is ugly male parts or female parts not being "large enough" or bushy eyebrows? I say accept people for who they are, because no one has a perfect body, no matter what. Who cares if you are fat? What makes that person's beauty show any less? What makes someone as skinny as a toothpick pretty? It is not normal, because God created us to live in peace and love everyone, and we have not kept what he wanted ever so much. He gave us life, and this is how we repay him? With killing, hate, dishonesty, and judging people? A quote I saw said something like " if what you see with the eyes does not please you, then look with your heart, because you can see more beauty then you could ever imagine." No matter what anyone else says, you are beautiful. Do not kill yourself or hurt yourself or hate yourself. God loves everyone and hates it when someone hurts themselves in any way. Even if you don't believe in God, please don't kill yourself. No matter what you think, there is always someone out there who will miss you. I am one if those people.

    It's normal to feel this way, but it's not normal to hold onto it. You should try to love yourself for who you are, as hard as that sounds
