This teen testimony was submitted by r-b-g-c

When I was born my mom and dad weren’t married, my mom was 17. She kept me .

I hardly see my dad.

I have 4+ siblings I don’t even know…

I’ve moved 6 times..so far.

When I moved to where I am now I was in grade 3. It was normal until grade 4 then I started to realize I was ugly..

In grade 7 I went to the high school, there my friends started to change, some would be clingy, some mean, some rejectful, and some I lost.

I started to think of myself as fat, so now I don’t eat breakfast, lunch, snacks, only a little bit of supper, and exercise like crazy. I started liking tons of guys thinking I would not be able to get rejected by one of them… being wrong every time. I find myself thinking of suicide, depression, and crying often. Even in class I almost burst out crying every day….

You’re beautiful! 😀

Reading this,

It really reminds me of how I was, and sometimes I feel. You are beautiful, you are breath taking to God. I understand how it feels to want guys to notice you and to want you.

That only feels good for a moment. I encourage you to let go of that, leave it at the door and open the right door. Open the door to Jesus Christ! I promise you; If you seek the true beauty, which is inside and is the beauty gives you, you won’t feel that way.

It’s hard to accept that the way people see you, really doesn’t matter. It only matters what God thinks about you.

Satan will try to throw thoughts at your head telling you lies. They are not true.

You

are

fearfully

and

wonderfully

I Can Relate

I can relate to you in some ways.

I started forming weird eating patterns and making myself sick just so that I could be skinnier.

I just came to realize that it didn’t help my self esteem much because once I realized that I was losing weight, I just kept finding other things that I didn’t like about myself.

It can be really difficult when it comes to how much females weigh or how “skinny” they are because this world has a screwed up version of what a woman should look like.

Some people just arent meant to be skinny.

If people don’t like the way you look then they’ll get over it.

But just remember that trying to impress others with the way you look isn’t going to help you at all.

You are just wasting your time. Basically all I’m trying to get across to you is that you need to learn how to be confident and happy with the way God made you because he thinks you are absolutely gorgeous…just ask Him=)

If you are a child of God then your physical appearance should not become your number one priority in every situation.

God bless,

I know how it is to want attention. You feel like a nobody and you think you know what’s best for you, but you really don’t! You’ve heard the phrase: “Dress to Impress” and a lot of girls listen. But there’s the right guy out there for every girl. He’ll notice you no matter what you wear. It’s the inside that counts.

Hope I Help,
