Today, I learned that binding my stomach with duct tape isn't worth it to look thin. I also learned the even worse part when I shrieked more loudly than I should've when I tried to discreetly rip it off in history class. FML

OP here! As one kid remarked, "That's a LOT of tape" and "But you're skinny!" If only he knew the whole thing. Yes, it was stupid, but when I took it off, I noticed that my fat was contained, and I looked thinner all day. Of course, no one deserves the pain of having it on or, even worse, removing it. (Those back hairs!) And let's not mention those blistering red marks. Still, it was worth the price. And no, I'm not fat or even chubby. I'm rather active--some would say hyper--and don't even eat that much in the first place. My weight and height are perfectly proportionate; I'm an average size. But since I'm not stick-skinny like my sisters, my family pesters me to lose weight. Besides, thinner girls at my school get more guys. I'd been sucking in for days, but I needed something to keep it that way. I sucked in when applying the duct tape, and since the fat couldn't get through its tight told, it looked as if my stomach were perfectly thin and flat. Sadly, some kids noticed and wondered why the heck my tummy was taped. I decided it wasn't worth the pain and I peeled it all off, awful pain and red marks included. I wish I could've cut it off; it would've been easier that way. After about halfway I excused myself to the bathroom to strip off the rest (the more painful parts) in a stall's confinement.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! Why would you use duct tape of all things if you wanted to bind your stomach? Sure it should've occurred to you to use Saran Wrap or something. Or just not bind it in the first place.

Why not actually work out to lose weight instead of doing something stupid

OP sounds like a teenager. Duct tape? Why? And why take it off in class? That sounds like something a teen would think is a good idea.

I feel it's time you have a serious one on one with your family, so they can get you set up with a counselor. Do some research and see how dangerous this actually can be, if not done properly. You can actually damage your internal organs. You're 14 years old there is no reason you need to be seeking out dick pics either! Stop seeking attention in negative ways and start focusing on your grades, sports or even read a damn book. WTF is wrong with your head? I get that you feel pressured and what not, but seriously you're seeking the wrong kind of attention from people. Damn, teenagers doing stupid shit! And yes, I know what stupid shit teenagers do, I have 3 of them and used to be one.

OP, this sounds like it goes deeper than just a taping your stomach issue. You may want to talk to a professional about the way feel about your body. Body image issues are a slippery slope, please be careful! Eating disorders are not as simple as mainstream media makes them out to be.

In order for you to gain the love and respect of others, you must first learn to love and RESPECT yourself. You are an 8th grader ASKING for dick pics?! Wtf! I wonder how many pedophiles have actually sent you pics asking for a hook up. Absolutely disgusting. And giving out your high school location and name? Do you want predators to find you and harm you? I know how huge Henderson/Las Vegas is, but do you know how seriously easy it is to find someone when you actually look for them? You need to go on YouTube and look up this video and study it: "The Dangers of Social Media (Child Predator Social Experiment)" The girls in that video are the SAME age as you. Shit can happen. You need to check your self little girl and straighten up your act!
