DD1 is 11 1/2 and tiny, height wise she's not that small but is only 4 1/2 stone. Of course all the girls in her class are taller and developing, DD1 was tiny great buds but that's it. She's still only a size 1 in shoes too.
It's really getting her down, I said she has to eat a little more to put on muscle but she's said she doesn't want to be fat (alarm bells) we don't use thin or skinny we use healthy and how being overweight isn't healthy. She's very sporty loves gymnastics, dancing and running.
It's really getting her down I don't know if the other girls are saying things but they all look so much more developed and taller than she does and she's says she looks about 8.
