Ok, I'm 16 and in the 11th grade. For some reason, just recently, people have been starting to notice... my butt. Sure, it's pretty big (I weigh 157 at 5'10"), but do people realize that joking around like that is not appreciated? Note that these people aren't bullies (I have all my classes with intelligent people), but they are some of my friends that are girls. Like, for instance, in the hall just the other day, one of my friends says, "Hey, big butt." And I'm like, "WTF, do you think that I appreciate that?" Another situation is at the lunch room when another friend said, "Look at his bootie! Look at his bootie!" I'm not the one to get sad or anything, but this is just ANNOYING. I'm not skinny, but I am losing weight, gradually. Is it possible that once I get back down to about 120-130, then I won't have such a big ass? I don't sag, and perhaps that's the problem with it (our school requires tucking in shirts). It's just I feel more comfortable not sagging, though it looks retarded because of my ass.

Geez, being African sucks

i got the same problem from playing lineman in footbally, big legs and butt. I ignore them.

You don't sound overweight as it is. You're 5'10" and you want to weigh 120-130? You'll be as thin as a pole. That makes no sense at all. Rather, I'd suggest that you exercise and get into some kind of decent shape. Seriously, don't worry about your butt size. People, especially younger ones, can be pretty insensitive. All I can say is, athletes with more noticeable rears tend to attract a lot of positive attention from the opposite sex.

why dont you just go with it? I mean when people talk about your butt you say something like "I'm glad you're enjoying the view" or if a girl says something you say "you can touch for free"i dunno but usually when you can make a joke out of it people tend it stop making fun of it because they see that they're not getting the kind of reaction they wanted to get in the beginning. It also helps you realize that its not a big deal and you can joke about it too.Ive been in the same situation as you except not with my butt, with my height and my penis size (even tho none of them have actually seen it). Girls would tease me about my height and i just make more jokes about it and they seem to enjoy it. As far as my penis, when they start saying i have a small penis and stuff i just get really close behind them and hold them close to my body and say something naughty to them. They usually get scared off and dont talk about it anymore or they will play along and get a little freaky with me.phewww that was long, anyways my point is dont let something like that get to you. There are far greater problems in life.

oh yea at 5'10 you shouldnt drop any lower than 145-150. You will look like a twig and people will make fun of you for that instead of your butt. I'm only like 5'5-5'6 and I weigth 150 and I still think i look like a stick.
-
omg my little brother is the same way. He's only 8 and his but is getting big. I say being african is a wonderful. my but is also big. but that's nothing to worry about. I work out all the time so I'm pretty slim but the curves are a little eh for a 14 year old. But be proud because it's something you have to live with. Guys with big buts can be very attractive.
-
Lol, it's nothing special I just copy and pasted from something my friend did. But it also takes creativity... and a lot of useless time.
-
oh yeah I see what you mean. I wonder why it's called that...
-
Help, no 1, the thread's being hijacked.
What is the image? It's like a colored-dot stereogram....I can't see it.
-
Noooo, I don't think that would solve the problem. Got any data to back that up? And how does your response help me understand what JapanFan14's sig is? What does it look like to you?Edit: almost missed this...> Why don't you get off your ass and get a job?Why? Then I won't have as much time to spend with you. That would be bad.
-
Yessss....I'm sure. Maybe the rest of the week even, because you mean that much to me.
-
hijacks the thread and returns it to its normal subject haha sorry.Since WHEN are big butts only sexy on females!?!?!? Men can look very hott with bigger bottoms.. I don't understand the fascination with men in baggy jeans that make their backside look flat.. Like they have a board in their frikkin' pants.. I say, appreciate and love your bottom. Don't try to change it because other people are suddenly taking notice to it.. That could be a good thing.. And take the advice given ealier and go with it.. Make a joke about it, and show them that a big ass on a man can be sexy! Haha.Well.. Maybe that wasn't the response you wanted.. But I hope everything turns out okay and you can accept your body for what it is.. The good and the bad..Hugs,AG -edit- I feel like a pedo saying such things to such a young guy.. Oy vey..

In reply to:

No kidding! Thumbs-up for nice and rounded!
By the way... I have a big butt! And I hear it all the time from people; it doesn't bother me. Just do what abc suggested- joke about it. I mean, for me the comments never stopped, but I just let it go and didn't act like it was a big deal (or I took it as a compliment), so then the people who said that about me took my lead and didn't treat it as a big deal. Like, they went from "OMG, look at her GINOURMOUS butt!" to "Look at her butt [insert derrogative comment about what you could do with butt here]!" Both are embaressing, but one is more preferrable than the other... You can probably guess which one I'm talking about. -
who cares what they say!! African Men are beautiful.. YUM!!

he weighs 157 not 120-130. he could be over weight, I weigh 118. im 15 and skinny, but im not the skinniest.
-
157 is not overweight if you 5'10". Your weight and your age alone don't say much. Buld has something to do with it, and height certainly does. If you are 6', you are way underweight. If you are 4', you are way overweight.

About the weight thing... I'm not what you would say overweight, but I'm certainly not proud of it. Perhaps 130 is stretching it. I only want to get thin enough so that working out can be a breeze. I mean, I like working out, and I will (once I get my license to go to the gym whenever (sept. 22)), but for now, I will just try and avoid certain things. My metabolism isn't the fastest thing on the planet (like some people). But, my best friend is something like 115 at 5'8" or so. He's skinny, but he doesn't look malnourished. He looks perfectly normal. On the bootay thing. When you are a girl, and you have a big ass, that's incredibly sexy to almost every guy. I'm not sure if it works the other day. I know that some girl find it attractive, but I would feel better if it wasn't there. I'm thinking that losing weight would work a little though (and that's all I really need - for it to not be obvious). I guess I'll take abc's advice now (thanks for it), and just accept it.

im 190lbs at 5'8, you really shouldn't be complaining, you have it a lot better then me, im also a junior.

Your sense of what a good weight is is severely distorted. You are not overweight. I'm sure you will benefit from working out in the gym, but don't expect to lose a lot of weight. Expect lose some fat and gain more muscle mass, which is more dense than fat and weighs more.> But, my best friend is something like 115 at 5'8" or so. He's skinny, but he doesn't look malnourished. He looks perfectly normal.A male who's 5'8" and weighs 115 lbs. is severely underweight. There is no possible way he could look anything like normal. If you don't believe me, ask a doctor or nutritionist. Is it possible that your friend has an eating disorder that you're not aware of? As I said, your sense of "normal" is severely distorted.

Hopefully, with your metabolism under control, you will be able to lose some weight. Keep up the exercise, and keep paying attention to your diet.
