The Ultimate Guide On How To Love Yourself Before Your Crush (Crush Zone)
We all know you girls ( and guys ! ) sometimes feel really down about your body, but have no fear ! This article is here to give you advice on how to look and feel your best while raising your self esteem. It is important for us all to have confidence and to not be heavily depressed about how we look so this guide will be perfect to helping you feel happy about yourself !
Playing About With Words
It sounds ridiculous, but repeating to yourself everytime you look in the mirror or think about your body, " I look great. My body is great and i am completely content with it. " will help your mind to believe that. In theory, you shall eventually have convinced yourself of this so whenever you're thinking negatively about your figure, you will be reminded of it.
Nobody's Perfect ; We All Gotta Work It
Jennifer aged 20 from Illinois said "I love and accept myself because there is no other way that I am supposed to be." She has set a perfect example for all girls over the globe - your creator made you what you are for a reason. You need to accept your body because that is the way it is and that is the way you were born. Nobody is perfect and we have to flaunt and make the best of what we have.
You Can't Mistake My Biology
Tiffany from Canada says that when she looks in the mirror, all she can see is no boobs and a big butt. If you are an adolescent, like me, your bodies haven't fully developed yet. They continue to adjust throughout our teenage lives, unfortunately ! Everybody grows at different stages so if your friends have big boobs and a slim body, don't feel worried ! You are normal and you AREN'T ugly at all, by any means. You have to deal with the major changes in a confident way. If you are well past that age range now then you also need to accept your body for what it is and understand that it is still undergoing adjustments.

Should I Take The Chance? (Big Sister)
Keera, 15 writes...
I like this guy at school, I think but there's a bit of an issue with him. In the past three weeks he's been out with two different girls and they both dumped him in under two days. I asked them what had gone wrong, (I'm on pretty good term with the both of them), and they both just started describing his personality. I happen to like his personality though. Should I still try with him or should I take the break ups as a sign that we just down work out?amanda says...
I definitely think you should still pursue him! Just because he wasn't compatible with those girls, it doesn't mean he won't work well with you. Different people look for different things in a partner and I don't think you should write him off based on dates he's gone on with other girls. See for yourself what he's like and go from there. If the issue was a matter of him beating them or something really horrible like that, it would be a different story. In this case I would definitely suggest going for it. You may regret it if you don't.Should I Tell Him? (Big Sister)

I really like this boy but I don't know how to tell him! Should I even tell him??amanda says...
I think you should tell him! I know it might be scary but the thing is, he might like you too an is too shy to tell you. If you tell him, something might come from it. There are many ways you can let him know. If you have him on MSN or Facebook, then you can message him about it, which might be easier than telling him to his face. but I must say, if you have the guts to tell him straight up, then go for it! Don't be obsessive, but just pull him aside and say that you would like to get to know him more and you think that you may be able to see him as more than just a friend. Throw in some jokes and giggles and you're set! Worst comes to worst, he'll tell you he sees you as only a friend. And yes, that might hurt, but at least you'll know and won't be left wondering if it's something you should pursue or not!A School Dance and a Crush (Big Sister)

There's this guy in my grade that I've been best friends with for over a year now and recently I've been starting to think of him as more than just a friend. There's a dance at our school soon and I don't know if I should tell him how I feel or just keep quiet. I'm afraid if I tell him how I feel he might not feel the same way and then it'd be weird to hang out together. What should I do?Ivette says...
I think right now would be the best time to decide if you want to have a boyfriend or not. Yes, you may like home lots, but after you tell him what would YOU like to happen? Would you like to be in a relationship with him or let things just stay the same. If you already decided that it would be nice for him to be your boyfriend and maybe think he likes you too, you should tell him. If you're really not sure how he feels about you maybe it's time to flirt with him a little to see how he reacts. If he flirts back with you then it is likely that he likes you back, if he doesn't then maybe you shouldn't tell him yet you like him since it will definitely change your friendship. Test the waters first! You can tell to some degree that a person likes you without directly telling him or her. Does he smile at you when he sees you in school? Does he behave the same way when he is with his friends? Does he treat you more nice compared to the other girls in your school? Does he make time for you when not in school? These are some simple questions you can ask yourself to evaluate if he likes you or not. Either way, be patient! At this age, it's really tricky for guys to be as emotionally involved as girls are. Good luck!Tags: advice, relationships, big sister, girl, friendships, crush, boy, middle school, does he like me
