It's all too easy to buy into the belief that your body is just not good enough. It's too easy to feel inadequate, like you need to constantly change who you are and what you look like to fit an ideal of beauty.

Here, we offer five suggestions to help you quiet unhealthy, negative thoughts about your shape and size, and boost your self esteem.

ugh the worst part about body image obssesion is when you have a crush ╥﹏╥
i know right ;_;
OH MY GOD YES
+jaylen3907 me too
When your crush laughs at you and calls you are fat... that is when, everything just stop. That's the end.
Ya😭
One thing I learned from TETRIS is that the more you fit in, the more you'll disappear.
Stay unique people!
Lol haha
Wow, you are just a genius
Makes sense
Well said!
😂😂 wow. I love that quote. Thank you!
Yeah I still think im ugly
same
lol guy above me
sniper salamander same
sniper salamander me 2
same over here tho
I used to hate my body image but i can now say I'm happy about it. There's still room for improvement but it will happen in time.
glad to hear that... UNLEASH THE HAPPY!
I'm happy for you! :D
thats so good to hear :) if you need any more support with this I am just about to start a video series on body image as well as fitness and mental health so don't feel alone and feel free to check it out
Same here haha ^^
I fucking HATE myself
Wow, 10 minutes ago I was suicidal and now I'm more confident than ever! I learnt so much, although I'm still upset because I lost my best friend, but I was complaining about my body but now, I might be curvy and have those stretchmarks on my body but sometimes I look in the mirror and I'm like "Damn, I look good!"
Thank you❤
That and I think your F***ING AMAZING NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY EVEN THOUGH I DON'T KNOW YOU AT ALL!!!!!!
Lily The Folfasus Mares thank you so much. Sometimes, we really need support and people like you ❤
+V. Pandacorn how are you??:P
Your lie in I'm good... I guess
+V. Pandacorn i just wanted to say to continue to smile okay? And be happy:) you're beautiful inside and out and you deserve the best even if you think you dont. I hope your day was nice and that tomorrow and so on are better than thee last♡
im 5' 5" and i weigh 140 lbs. and im starting to get body image issues because my mom calls me names and she teases me about my weight just because she is skinny--now, she used to be like 300 lbs but anyway this video really helped!
that's a perfect bmi tho :( wtf does ur mom think she's doing...
Julie Stenroos if you’re mum is commenting please tell another adult I swear it will help! Even if she has stopped this will make the other adult make sure that they don’t be mean anymore!
Julie Stenroos I’m 5’ and I weigh 145 :( your mom sounds like a bitch I’m sorry but she shouldn’t say that to you lmao
i'm 5'3 and 128
I hate myself.
Julie Stenroos woah 300 lbs is a lot! Good job !
I am 11 and I am 114 lbs lol
And I am 5’3
People call me stupid for thinking I'm pretty. They think I'm full of myself, so I rarely look in the mirror around other people. But when I'm alone I smile and talk to myself like a loner. I have the total opposite effect, cause I don't think little of myself, I think of myself as a generally attractive person. But people call it wrong to think of yourself that way. UGH!
I do the same thing, Evan if you are ugly you can still be likable by many people
Yeah when I worry about my appearance I do compulsions to calm me down to look 'perfect'.
+Trailer Vert not me I can be fugly and unlikable.
+kellap gop That's the point in the compulsions. No one here wants to feel like that.
No, everyone has the right to feel beautiful. It's the people around you who just don't feel that way about themselves.
I have struggled with my body shape and flaws since a young age, since I hit puberty around 8.
I was quite the chubby girl, hairy and tall. I was picked on because of it and that ended up affecting my personality.
I slowly changed my lifestyle into a *healthier* one.
I began playing voleyball a few days a week.
I got slimmer with time, got to deal with hairyness and turned out to be one of the shortest in my classroom. As my body grew stronger, so did my mind. Now i have a very average weight and a healthy and beautiful body. It's not perfect, but its mine.
Everything changes. For the better. =]
Wow that's so nice
I'm the shortest and I can't take this anymore. This might be my last reply ever.
I guess it's easier said than done since our society values one bodytype above all the others.
FlashySenap who gives a fuck about society?? Care about yourself!!!!
FlashySenap Everyone hates society. So TheReS NoBODy WhO gIvEs a fUcc.
True it sucks. And l hate where l live too :(
@Friends Gacha Back they do that because how you look says alot about your character
@T0M . Z! you know what?
If you are GOOD-LOOKING guy, Everybody will help you to grow.
If you are not that GOOD-LOOKING then people won't support you rather then that,
They will push you downwards.
I am above average looking so nobody either hates me or makes fun of me.
So I can't understand how others feel.
You know what's frustrating? People think I'm fat, but I'm actually not really that much bigger than everyone else. I literally have a wider rib cage and hips than others. I don't even have much fat covering my rib cage. People just think I'm fat but it's just my bones! I am also short so that gives the impression that I am short and stubby. :(
I feel you i'm the complete opposite tho really tall and skinny and i get a lot of mean comments saying i'm ill and need to eat more or that they could break me easily. Everyone's gonna judge you whatever weight or height you are but as long as you know you're healthy then fuck them.
+Rachael Marie Same here
If you are happy with your body and looks that is all that should matter so do not give into peer pressure.
Many compare themselves to actresses / actors although they do not realize just how unhealthy they really are.
I have been short and overweight all my life and when I have tried to loss the most I could lose in a six month time period was 12 pounds and then I would gain it back again.... Some people have metabolisms that are fast, some slow, some that slow down with age, and then like me some that are always slow.
Instead of losing fast just lose some bones bruh.
SAMEE :( my genetics are literally the worst
I feel like most of these videos were made for me.
Naing Lin sometimes I feel that too
Maybelline Cruz
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I WOULD LITERALLY... LITERALLY.. KILL TO BE SKINNY! Trust me.. you DON'T want to be a big girl.
Damn it! According to genetics I'm really gonna be chubby:( ugh I hate when people say " be happy with your body shape" when they don't understand. ( unless they are fat too )
Me but at least you aren't chubby tho
Me I guess so...
My family is super skinny and I'm pretty chubby.. I feel like I don't really belong.
Xx ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ same :/
Just try to take care of yourself and make healthy choices and you'll be fine :) chubby or not you are beautiful
Is it just me or when you tell someone they're beautiful, they say, "I know I am!" you suddenly regret complimenting them. I mean, everyone says self confidence is a good thing, but I feel it just makes you seem very selfish..
I feel like whenever you say something you don't like about your body, people think you sound whiny, but then confidence ends up sounding arrogant. Is that just me?
Rachelle Wegner No, that's actually what I'm trying to say xD
Being self-confident isn't really selfish.. it only is when you talk about it too much
I always say "thank you".
There's a difference between confidence and arrogance. When you are confident, you are *content* with your body and aware of your own *unique* personal beauty. When you are arrogant, you think you are so beautiful, that you think you are more beautiful than everyone else, even though everyone is beautiful in their own way. An arrogant person would say "I know right?" a confident person, imo, wouldn't necessarily say that but just say thank you when you complement them. imo, the biggest differences of confident, un-confident and arrogant people is this: Arrogant people will brag and gloat about their looks. Confident people *will not* whine or complain about their looks. And lastly, un-confident people *will* whine and complain about their looks. Or, at least, that's my interpretation of it.
hahahaahah i love this "cut it out!"
Cut it out man!!!!llol
This video almost only talks about the shape and size of your body... Can there please be a video like this but focused on pimples?
aw, thanks :)
Honestly just so sick of battling with my body image can’t I just be a floating head :(
still hate myself
nobody really hates themselves people have just blinded them into thinking they do and then they cant see whats really great about them anymore
Same. I watch millions of these videos and I still look like shit
You should not say that
I have trouble accepting compliments. I have such a low self esteem that compliments feel like insults or sarcasm.
Wow cheer up its will get better over time
It's take time to build it sometimes I don't believe when my BF say I'm pretty but now I'm getting there I'm more confident than ever!! U will too
Me too
The part of your head that tells you that they are all being sarcastic or feel sorry for you and lie. I want you to know that part of your head is bullshitting you. Trust me. I used to have a conspiracy that everyone hated me but we're all actors acting nice, and I was some kind of weapon. Lol I can't believe I believed such bullshit.
3:59 that Mean Girls reference though
Can you please make something
I am still a recovering anorexic, more than twenty years later. I continue to struggle with eating... It is awful. I hope all young people will one day get the message that you are right to teach. Great work. I believe in your efforts.
I just want to be slimmer so I am Naruto run better

"Your body is still growing!" lol here I am at 24... no my body is not going through puberty anymore.
Yor height and weight?
I like how the words and pictures kinda move k bye
I used to feel like I needed to change who I was to make other people like me... After doing this for years and getting teased all the time I did not care anymore I realized that I don't NEED to please society.... If people don't like me for me then they don't belong/deserve to be around me... I'm me and people need to accept that... If they can't they need to find someone else to be around.... Because I'm me and I'm beautiful in my OWN way! There is apparently a "normal" idea of beauty. But there is no ONE type of body or pretty your are gorgeous in you OWN way! And that's all that matters.
Preach 👏
You slay
Lyric Katt thank you!
smash duty thats my job!
Most,if not all of us think we look "bad" we all have our problems and they are all in our minds
Wow this was posted on my birthday
I used to be very influenced by haters telling me my NORMAL RANGE BMI is being too big for a afab person. Then I started leading active lifestyle and realized I wanted to be BIG AND STRONG :)
I'm 82 pounds and my sister is always calling me too skinny or anorexic and I'm not I'm a lot shorter than all my friends but I have really long legs so it gives me a thinner appearance same goes for my arms and abdomen

Did anyone realize the things they sqid about the mirror were stuff from mean girls?!
We have a few of them in our "Study Tips For School" playlist!
At 4:28, when you said that I started crying because it meant so much to me just hearing that. I hear it from my family whenever I mention feeling insecure about my weight and body, even though my weight is fine for my body size/shape and I have an hourglass figure (yay me and my insecurities do to the hourglass figure), my family says I look great but I look at myself and all I see is the imperfections. Once, my mom really hurt me because (small tidbit of knowledge, I do ballet so when I gain weight it is noticeable) I had gained some weight and hated how my body looked because when I gain weight it is all in the stomach area (so extremely noticeable) and I was trying to lose the weight and avoiding form fitting clothes, one day I go in the kitchen and mom and I start talking (I forget how we got to this part) and she says "yeah, I think you gained some weight" and I just started crying and said "I KNOW! DO YOU REALIZE HOW INSECURE ABOUT MY BODY I AM?! I HATE HOW I LOOK!" after that I left the kitchen and went straight to my room still crying. There will be days when I purposely don't eat or eat lighter meals, or skip certain meals and no one in my family notices or if they do they don't care enough to say anything!
Anyways so for the rant, but if I am being honest I feel better after getting it off my chest.
Back to what I said in the beginning of this comment, thank you! And if you made it this far into this comment I would just like you to know this YOU ARE FREAKING BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING AND PERFECT!
My friend has recently been eating pretty much nothing. She says that they have to many calories ect. She thinks she isn't fit but she skips every day and goes to soccer practice. I have told her that shes going to faint from lack of energy and nutrition.
Eating no food won't help,
It'll worsen the situation of your friend.
Need to do workout and eat healthy food to get fit.
My own mom puts me down for being fat. I wasn't insecure, but when she told me I'm fat I started wearing large shirts and shorts so it's less noticeable. I starve myself. Nothing has changed, though.
I don't like that I have a big butt and am bigger at the lower body and I can't wear skinny jeans or skirts or shorts. In fact almost anything looks bad on my fat ass and fat legs.
Stop eating junk food and start exercising. Boom! Improvement.
+Sylph Natural dumbass did you eve listen to the video it's generic I have a big booty and normal legs so stfu
Did you even*
Same! When I was around 12 my butt and hips started to grow so fast that lost all my shorts and skirts because they wouldn't fit me.
PS: I swim twice a week since I was seven so it was definitely not just me being unhealthy and gaining weight
+Teagan Eiken if you think your not perfect, and you have money go to south Korea and get plastic surgery they have the best plastic surgeons in the world, and have made insanely ugly people beautiful
You know, I saw a kid in my class making fun of a kid who must have been at least a year below me a school. I can't remember what he said to her, but when he'd walked off I walked over and I asked her how she'd gotten her hair like that, because I loved it or something, and she smiled really brightly. Sometimes I hate my own year, we all look like assholes, but we're not
I'm so happy I found this channel. You have helped me and so many others to focus on what's important in life. You helped us realize things about ourselves, and become a better person. So thank you!
These videos are really well done and very well thought out. Good on ya! :)
2:02 CUT IT OUT 😂
😂
😂
looking inward is what most people with disorders do..
Thank you! This helped me so much, since I do have low self esteem. I mean who cares what I look like. Its the personality of the person that matters. And in another video, you did say not as many people notice these "mistakes" as you (I) think
i love the way you tone your voice during these, really helps in nailing the point.
Could you do a video on how to stick onto a diet, I know I shouldn't look at my "flaws" but I have some serious problems with losing weight, and now is my only chance as I am going through my "preteen and teen" years.
"STOP!... Breathe..."
Me: ing
Loving these videos. Informative, colourful, interesting to watch.
IM starting to watch l ur videos that give advice they are helping me alot ive trywd loads of stuff.self harm ect talking.....who thought a youtube video would help me soo much
What is wrong to aspire to have a model-body? They're gorgeous. Its not a crazy fun house image. I for one just like their style.. Of plenty of models..I like their elegance, simplicity, the way the clothes looks on them.. I personally think that I can achieve this look because I really want it. Im naturally tall also:)
It's unhealthy...and they look like skeletons.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to look healthy, but wanting to look like somebody else is a one way ticket to disappointment. You'll never look like somebody else, so strive to be the best you. I'm sure you're a very gorgeous person, and wanting to be elegant is completely okay, but aiming to look like someone else will only end up hurting yourself.
***** It's not cyberbullying to tell someone they are a moron for aspiring to have an unhealthy weight.
A modeltype figure does not necessarily mean unhealthy. Maybe to you, but to me it means getting into shape and having a nice figure.
No one here is writing about aspiring to have an unhealthy weight. That is idiotic and not what is ment.
My self image esteem is down. My whole life I sucked in my stomach so that I’ll actually look a little skinny. And I’ve tried everything
THANK YOU watch well cast you have changed my life and a lot of my ways so thank you 😀😀
i was so very insecure about my body that ended up wearing oversized clothes and throwing up after eating. my mom is forcing me to wear an off shoulder, but i didn't wear it because i always think that i'm so fat, i look ugly if i wear that etc. but when i watched this video, you helped me a lot! thankyou for this video! you helped me boost my confidence.
The good thing about being a guy is that there's an easy solution to any body image issues.
PUSH UPS!
And if that's not enough...
DO MOAR PUSH UPS!
not with my toothpick wrists...
Besides giving you thick arms that wont help shit. And "push up men" look ridiculous to be honest
Push ups won't do everything,
You needs to do Pull ups and Squats as well.
For complete body issue.
what happens when your family is full of models and you're the exception?
Here is a bit of advice from me: Talk! Talk to your 'family' i dont know your situation, but if you have to gather your family gather everyone on your living room, and explain in deep strong ways why what you are doing is right and why they are wrong! defend your self! make a power poin presentation about it if you have to! this may sound a bit dumb but do think about it. good luck.
dipro001 ^^;; I guess it's also hard to do that when your family is scattered over at least three continents and big enough not to fit in my house, let alone my living room, but thanks for the support!
Evie well you can skype then :) look i dont know anything but keep looking do self marketing to them, maybe make your achievements look bigger than they are. good luck :)
Evie I love your videos
Yahya Islaam Thank you! Eevee is all grown up now, but she's still an awesome doggy.

I adore your voice! so effective for me💞
I actually didn’t came here for help. But to help someone, an friend. Thank you. This was helpful for helping. 👍🏼

I hate my nose!
It has that stupid bump on the bridge and it ruins my profile. I overheard people talking in my class and one of them said "You know who has big nose, Remy." I wasn't self conscious about it until that moment.
Everyone has flaws. So what if your nose is big, the person who said that has flaws too.
Remy Boyz lady gaga has a big nose and she's famous as fuck with so many fans

I'm eleven and 160 pounds. I don't know why I eat healthy and I exercise.I get teased alot at school. I have to wear adult clothes.I try not to let how I look bring me down, but it's so hard. And it's not like have any friends to talk to about it it's AWFUL. The only "friends " I have don't take the time to listen me. It doesn't help that I am competitive, bossy, and in advanced classes. I try to make friends but it is so hard. Any advice?
DUDE WERE LIKE TWINS
+G MINI thanks this will help me alot.Tou sound really nice
I feel u
Just remember this... In twenty years when you will have a job( probably a well paying one too based on the advanced classes), and you have stopped your growth spurt and all that, your size and figure won't matter! Plus then you can do more of what you want, like work out for 20 minutes or something idk. Just don't pay attention to people who are jerks. Be positive keep up with your school work and you will be fine.
Same. I know how you feel.
how do I deal with depression
Find someone that loves you...?
+Prince Kitty you know, I think there is someone , only talk to them and tell them how you feel
By having lots of sex...
Great resource. Talking with the parents is also an option that sometimes can be N.1. Happy teen years!!!
love this!
This is horrible. It's so embarrassing, I won't even let my bf try to pick me up or give me back rides bc I don't want him to think I'm fat :(
I know how you feel.
Same I always say "IM TOO HEAVY NO!"
At least u have a bf😭😭😥

Amused_ Blossom It does not matter, some people like curves, some don't and most do not care! You are beautiful no matter what!
Ye don't want 'em.
I think that is the best advice anyone has every given me.
I really thought that although this video is geared for teens, the amazing message in it applies to many others of all ages. Thanks!
I don't care how I look like no girl likes me..... well this made me sad
*sighs*
I feel the same way. I'm WAY too short, ( not just height DX ) and literally one of the shortest in my school. I just hope I grow taller :P
+PixelCrafterz you'll be the tallest one day!
+IRLMania don't worry..... your perfect as you are
Imma just workout
I was crying because of my body. Thank you for this video. It helped me stop crying
this really lift up my mood
1:00 made me cry because I am extremely insecure about being tall and skinny and she made me feel like a freak 😭
mermaid 7 yeah I didn't like that
She didn't say it to be offensive, she said you shouldn't strive to look like models because most of the time it isn't natural nor is it healthy
Haha, they mentioned Ronaldo :)
I literally will be looking in the mirror and saying "IM SO FUQING UGLY HOLY HOW DO PEOPLE LOOK AT ME" but then I can look away for 5 seconds, look back on the mirror, then say "DAYUM MY MOTHER BIRTHED ME WELL SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIZZZZZ"
This Was An Really Awesome Video Thanks For The Tips!
i have a flat stomach , curves , too big boobs for my age ( i just turned 10 ), med height and LOTS of pimples AND 28.5 kg when other girls are 30 something.i hate that girls are changing who they really are, to someone their not, when other girls are feeling weird that their bigger or smaller. when people say you're ugly, don't give a FUCK about it girl.
