Help with little sister's self esteem!?


Question:
I really want to help her because she's only 12 and she thinks shes fat, shes not, shes just built a little bulky, me on the other hand, i am naturally thin and she is always comparing us! i feel really bad for her cause cause she is always complaining about her weight because we weigh the same. (i am 15) she is about 3 inches shorter than me , so shes 5ft and 95lbs. how can i help her with this? i never really went through it, is it just a stage? please help,


thanks so much in advance!

Answers:
Try running with her or something. She'll feel better about her weight because she's exercising, she gets to spend some time with you (it sounds like she looks up to you a bit), and a little exercise is good for everyone =P

She sounds a lot like me. I was painfully self-concious about my weight even though I was skinny at her age. Some psychological damage has been done to make her think that she's fat. Could be the media, could be nasty comments from her friends (as it was for me).

The best way to deal with this is complementing her, watching out that she doesn't develop an eating disorder, and just making her aware that people come in tons of sizes and size zero isn't necessarily the prettiest. If someone had done that for me, it'd made a world of difference.
Tell her she looks sexy it seems to work with me
omg that is a weight most people her age would love to have! tell her that she's pretty and take her to the mall and stuff let her have fun let her friends go and let her just do little things like that.
Tell her that
