When i look in the mirror, i see something different than what other people see. But when someone makes a negative comment on how i look i either become self-conscious or i ignore what they said. It just depends on who says it. I’ve never hated myself or anything like that but i start to question if im the only person who can see the real me why can’t anyone else? I get tired of hearing people talk bad about other people like if they’re pretty or cute enough, if they are skinny enough or do they talk and do things that people want them to do. So much drama in my school is started because of those things. I always hear whispers or crude comments walking down the hallway from people gossiping. In fact one of my guys friends was going to hug me the other day and his friend said,” you mean the 300 pound girl?” referring to me. I number 1 do not weigh anywhere near 300 pounds and 2 i don’t feel like dealing with that. It kind of disappointed me when my guy friend didn’t stick up for me but i guess that shows how guys are around their friends. Sorry for writing so much i just needed to vent. But i would greatly appreciate prayers and maybe some advice. Thank you so much for the article too, i believe all girls should read that!

I stuggle everyday with the way I look. I have this hatred when I look at myself in the mirror. I cannot stand myself. Even at school I feel pretty down. All that is looked at is beauty. I hate so much being pushed around by everyone because they think they are so much better than I am. I just want to lock myself up in my room and cry until sleep comes - and often lately it has been that way. Thanks for the article. I need to keep reminding myself that God is truely the only opinion that matters. (sometimes I feel like I have failed God too…) Any Prayers are always appreciated. Thank you for the articles. I am reading through them all I really do think they help

I have struggled with a eating disorder for about a year now. whenever i feel a breakthrough, I say finally I am over this, but it comes back. I am dating and I feel like I am never happy with him, when I am angry or sad becasue I have other things on my mind, just trying to find time for god, and school. I feel like I have lost my friends and make my family struggle becasue of me. I want everything to be a constant speed in my life.

this article really opened my eyes to other problems around me and not just my own. It’s such a relief to know I’m ot the only one who sometimes feels selfconcious about myself or how I look or the way I act. I’ve never been the cheerleading type so people thought I was weird but this article showed me I was just unique.

Lately I’ve been struggling with believing that God can even be real. I’ve always grown up believing that he is real and one part of me believes he really is, but the other part of me doesn’t always believe what I’ve been taught and I can’t seem to convince myself that God really is up there in heaven. I also find it hard to talk about with my family and friends. I don’t want them to think less of me, or anything. Whenever I’m sure that God really is here protecting me, I second guess myself, especially in times when I’m struggling and I can’t feel God.
I feel worn out and I’m tired of the battle. I want to be able to just fully believe in God with out doubts constantly popping into my head. I just want them to disappear.

I struggle with how I look, if my clothes or shoes are nice enough, and if I say the right things. But God loves us anyways and when you find the right friends, you will see that they love you even when you have on a t-shirt and crazy hair. Because in the end people want someone they can have fun with, not someone who is perfect! Whenever I feel unhappy with myself I go back to those moments when I was most happy and capture the feeling of the place and people I was with and I know that God loves me and wants me to be happy, so he will put another situation out there for me to be happy. And when those good days come, we must be sure to rejoice to the Lord for his love is deeper than any happy moment we will ever experience!!

Aubrey,
A note to say God loves you and he accepts you! I am praying for you. I am praying that you realize that cutting is not an answer to you frustration…. it is a lie from the enemy to keep you from the freedom that Jesus came to give you. Keep you eyes on Jesus, you are worthy and loved! Keep reading the articles, stay plugged into things that will keep you encouraged in the Lord. Blessings!
