I have a problem with my 14 yr old daughter?

my daughter is 14 and she constantly says shes ugly and shes flat chested and has no "booty" and that she has a big forhead...i dont want her to get depressed and cut her wrists or any thing ridiculous like that.What can i do to help?

Answer:
Right off the bat. eliminate her tv and internet usage. Nothing's worse for youngsters than comparing themselves to plastic HollyWood.

She will hit puberty and change, like we all did. Even then there are some very attractive females who are not as well endowed as others.
Big forehead, welcome to the club. Tell her it's a sign of intelligence.
Last off, it will help if you have any old photos of your female family members before and after puberty.

Hope it helps..
Nothing. Its her phase, and almost any girl who is around her age is suffering through it.
Nothing, all girls feel this way about themselves at some point in puberty.
Get her some self-esteem. You can't tell her she is pretty you need someone else to. Try to find some boy to like her or something. Or if you know any kids in college in the family, have them tell her how pretty she is. She would love that. Just let her know she matters.
tell her at age 15 puberty hits in and her breasts and butt will grow fast, and tell her she looks pretty, and to stop cartng what other people think of her. if she has problems with her forehead, you can get her a haircut with long stylish bangs to cover a little. throughout time complement her of her style, or the way she does her hair, if so. if not then help her feel more pretty but doing hairstyles, buy her a pair of nice jeans with pockets in the back to put an illusion of fullness in the buttocks. she's too young to say she has no butt anyways, talk to her.
At this age all girls feel negative about themselves.Take her to abeauty salonand get her tizzied up as a treat.Make her feel special.
Have you asked your daughter why she thinks she is ugly and why she wants a "booty"? I would show her that there are people out there that don't have these "qualities" that are famous or doing very well. Additionally, she might have a self-esteem problem so maybe doing an activity that promotes self-esteem like karate might help her to think differently.
She's probably doing this for attention so you might want to spend more time with her. Outside of that I'd ask her what she wants to do about it and suggest she might want to just let nature catch up to her expectations. I'd also encourage her not to want to grow up to quickly and enjoy her childhood because once its gone its gone forever.
keep telling her she is beautiful and you love her. maybe kids at school are giving her a hard time. you should talk to her and tell her everyone looks different and we are all special
try to build her confidence my 14 yo is the same way
