Im 17, almost 18 and ive never had a boyfriend. - Help.com

Well, it seems to me that you already have a suspicion. You should act on it and do something about it. Not just for them, but for yourself first. You will be happier, healthier and gain tons of confidence that you have hiding inside waiting to come out.

Well you don’t want to be one of those horrid mean girls and you don’t want their horrible mean boyfriends.
Men really aren’t as important as you think.
Being happy with yourself is the main thing.
The right people with come along you just need to not think about it.
They come when you least expect it so just live for today and don’t give a **** about anyone.
Being single is wonderful!
I miss the self confidence you have when your single, the motivation to do things for youself and be a little selfish every now and again.
I’m an emotional wreck with a boyfriend who doesn’t even know what love is.
I bet your a beautiful girl with a personality to match.
Never give up hope.
But never think they are the root of happiness.
These plastic ******* who have all the boyfriend with end up preganant or becoming strippers..or both!
Love yourself.

Well, in the first place, you shouldn’t want a boyfriend just for the sake of having a boyfriend. Guys tend to be able to sense, at least subconsciously, when a girl is after a relationship just so she can say she’s in one; so they’re going to be driven away, or at least made more cautious, from the beginning.
Also, as Jr. said, if you think it’s because of your weight, then do something about your weight. It seems to be an issue for you which is affecting your confidence - and again, guys can tell when a girl isn’t confident, and they tend to prefer confident girls. The confidence thing is probably more of a warning sign than your weight might be anyway.

More importantly, though: You do not need a boyfriend to validate yourself, or to prove anything to anyone. The only reason for entering into a relationship should be because you like and care about the individual you’re entering into a relationship with.

Who ever you are anonymous, you seem like a very strong women and very wise. If ever I become single, I will take your advise and put it to use. Through your words you show strength.
