My boyfriend wants me to GAIN weight.

Okay, I’ll give you some background to my problem: So I am 5 feet 9 and a half inches or so with a large frame. I come from a Swiss background and have a bone size “off the scale” according to my doctor. My wrist is about 7 and a half inches in circumference just to give you an idea.
My whole life people have always called me fat because of my bone structure so I am really sensitive to the word. I stuggle to be bone thin so that I don’t look so big, and succeed well enough; no-one can ever tell I am so thin because my bones make up for it. I am not complaining about my body shape or anything, I actually think I am quite attractive in that department (though I always pine for smaller bones).
Here is the real issue: I have a very nice boyfriend who is 16, two years older than me. He loves my body shape and always calls me perfect and beautiful, which is a big help for my ego. However, lately he has been asking me to gain a little weight to enhance my bust size. I am 14 and just barely a C, I think that’s pretty good for as thin as I am (and let me emphasize, I am really skinny, like my ribs extend out at least 3 inches over my waist)!
I have stuggled with being called fat my whole life, and even though I’m not, it hurts. Here is my boyfriend who I love and trust, and who knows how hard is would be for me to gain weight, mentally, wanting me to have a few extra pounds; not for my health but so that my breasts get bigger. I haven’t even developed fully yet… What should I do?

If you are at a healthy weight, stay there. Aesthetics be damned.

Swiss are notoriously big boned… you are probably very normal.

It’s about what you want, really.

And you’re still 14, you’re still growing. You will gain weight, whether you want to or not.

Yeah you should see your ribs at 12, 13, 14, then your body starts to fill out.

Dont gain weight for him. I think that is kind of shallow that he wants you to have boobs. But if you are as skinny as you say then perhaps you should gain weight, this is a pretty good calculaor to see how much idealy you should weigh..

And when girls are unhealthily skinny it is unatractive, dont kill your self on living up to all those lies about how you should look.

Push-up bra?

I guess it’s a bummer when a boob man is wasted on a girl with fabulous legs. Maybe you can emphasize your assets.

Don’t do it! A guy who wants to change your looks will most likely leave you eventually, when he finds a girl whose looks he likes better. And then he’ll leave her. He’ll always be looking for someone “better.” He’s a moron.

Don’t do it. If a guy wants you to change then its not worth it. Im 14 and in a B im not the best lookin girl in the world but Im me and proud the way I look!! I’ll say i am alittle over weight so I always think im fat but as I get older I feel better bout myself. But I am going to say you do need to gain alittle weight because seeing ur ribs aren’t healthy at all but dont do it for him or to grow boobs do it so you can look health atleast.
