" A few boys at my school say I am too little and that I&amp;#039;m anorexic. I eat -- I just have a fast metabolism. What should I do to stop them from teasing me? Nikki, 13, New Richmond, OH Teasing happens to people of all sizes, big or small. But that doesn&amp;#039;t mean it&amp;#039;s easy to deal with! It&amp;#039;s normal to feel hurt by this negative attention. The best thing to do in this situation is to remind yourself of all the great, wonderful, and beautiful things about your body and your personality. If you have trouble, ask your best friend for her help! By building your self-confidence, you&amp;#039;ll be able to recognize that these boys are just trying to rattle you for whatever reason -- and their opinion is totally off-base. If the boys don&amp;#039;t get any reaction from you, they should eventually stop teasing you. (But if your low weight is making you worried, you might want to go to the doctor to make sure everything is okay. It probably is just your metabolism, but you&amp;#039;ll feel better knowing for sure.) We wish it were as easy as 1-2-3 to get these boys to stop teasing you, but often it&amp;#039;s not like that. How you handle it is the most important thing. Good luck! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
