Hey Dav-
You are 14, an age when your body is going thru alot of changes. You are an athlete, so you have muscle mass, so I doubt very much that you are fat! How can you be when you are working out so much w/your sports. I do remember those days...and how important it seemed to have a boyfriend, and to be skinny. What I know now is that having a strong sense of yourself: who you are and want to be, is way more important than having that boyfriend because everyone else does..
There is a saying: "Wish I knew then what I know now".

Man, so true!! Doesn't really do me any good, but I'm willing to share:

*boyfriends come and go.
*you are who you are all your life, make sure you are someone you want to live with...
*each day is new, but your yesterdays will haunt you forever, make each new day the best it can be.
*weight is an objective thing-yea I do miss that day I weighed 105 lbs...(and I do mean that ONE day)being comfortable with yourself is longer lasting and way more important.
*never lie...you will forget what you said and it's embarrassing.
*listen to your mom, sometimes she does actually know what she is talking about!
*don't compare yourself to anyone, you are unique and no one else gets to be you!

Be yourself, Dav, be proud of yourself. You're a good person, and thats a great start! Enjoy your life and you will be surprised to find a lot of others enjoying it with you. Look for the good in others and in yourself-too much criticism is never healthy for anyone.
Most of all, have fun, this time in your life will never come again, there are no do-overs, and being a kid is such a short part of your life-make the most of it!
This part of the lecture on life is over...
miss you-
