Try working on some healthy habits for yourself. Start out small and work on those healthy habits for a while. When you eat right and exercise you start to feel better. There are a lot of helpful resources in the Resource Center that you may want to check out. Here's an article that I think may help you: A Teen's Guide to Weight and Body Confidence.

I know it may be difficult, but try to not worry about what others may think about you. Instead, work on building your confidence by doing good things for yourself and making healthy changes. You may also want to try journaling. Here are a few more articles that may help:

I'm about to be sixteen in a couple of weeks and (I know this sounds stupid but) I've never been in a relationship and I feel its because i'm fat and ugly and....I don't know, the past couple of weeks have been depressing ones.

It's just, i haven't been as confident as I usually am. I feel everyone's judging me and making fun and talking about me behind my back.

So I eat I guess as a way to get back at the world. But i'm only hurting myself

I do weigh alot....not to the point of no return but still it's pretty bad. I'm involved in tennis (mixed doubles) but about three weeks ago my partner and I had a fight (because of my pessimistic ways i'm sure of it) and I haven't gone to practice since. I've gained about five pounds in three and a half weeks.

So please any reassurance will help, or tips on how to get back on track.
