If you are a skinny, baby-faced teenager, the last thing you want to hear is that you're cute.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My parents always told me I'm beautiful the way that I am, and I never thought to myself that I needed to be skinny because there's a magazine out there that said, 'Oh, size two,' or, 'Oh, this girl's beautiful because she's skinny.'
It's not like I cleaned up with girls. I always looked young and I was very small; I hated being 'cute.'
I was a skinny guy growing up, and I still feel like that same skinny kid.
I was always such a skinny kid, so I kind of grew up with an 'I hate skinny' mentality.
Whether you're tall or shorter, or a little bigger, more curves, skinny - you just have to be proud of what you have, and everyone is beautiful.
As a kid who grew up chubby, I just marveled at the fact that I could be thin.
People see me as cute, but I'm so much more than that.
Just because people are calling you skinny doesn't mean I'm like, 'Yay!' No! You're telling me I don't look right. This is me, this is my body - I have accepted it.
How in the world any one weighing 185 pounds can be cute is beyond me.
You don't know how pretty you are when you're young. Just being young is beautiful. And I was astonishingly pretty - you know, very skinny.
