I love this comic :] It really does reassure me. Now my flaws?
1) I have butt crack hair...
2) I have massive thighs, it runs in the family as well
3) I have armpit hair. And when I shave it, it has stubble
4) I have a really notice-able tash. Seeing as I am light skinned and I have dark hair, it makes it more easy to see my tash. And boy do kids make fun of me. It annoys the hell out of me. Little children stop in the streets to just tell me that I have a moustache. And then they giggle. Grr
5) My boobs seem to have a mind of their own. They go in two different directions. But my cousin said its just because I'm still in the growing process. I wish it would hurry the hell up.
6) My hair is stupid. If I cut it, it doesn't look nice. To be honest, I don't think I'd suit any hairstyle.
7) I am really hairy...

And thats only a part of it.

Hey, girls I know we have all imperfections (like I have small hips, small butt and AA boobs) but people don't really notice them till we actually point them out to them.

[Samy]

OMG! I can sooooo relate to everything except for the fact that I'm 5'7 and a half! I have small boobs but my butt is HUGE!!!! and so are my hips and with the big butt come the fat theighs! a guy friend of mine decide to knee me in the butt one day and say jello i was so embaressed!!!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Martina!

...I have shaved my arms since second grade because a guy friend pointed out how hairy they were.
I hate my nose, I look like a pigeon.
My hair (armpits, legs...ect.) grow fast and its really dark
My eyebrows are too thick.
My face is dry and oily at the same time (what?).
You can see veins all over my body, even my boobs, which happen to be super pale.
I'm not even five feet (But I guess I don't mind much)
You can see my ribs.
The hair on my head is always uneven...

...Yeah... I have buttcrack hair.

[StupidxGurl96]

Don't worry, everyone has flaws, look at all the comments before and after me, most of them are about what flaws the commenter has, but think of the good things, like you might have clear skin, or maybe you have a nice figure--I don't know, but what I do know is that half the things you mentioned is normal and everyone has the same problem. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Some of my many flaws:
I have bushy hair (some times), my teeth are slightly crooked, I am HAIRY, I have lots of spots/pimples/black heads, and last but not least, I think I am fat.
However! I do also have some brilliant things that I love about my body, such as:
My hair (when un-bushy) is long and curly, my lips are a nice shade of pink, I always have a little natural blush which people think is cute, I have clean long nails, and last (but not least ^_^) MY PERSONALITY!!! Sure there are physical flaws, but I'm sure that inside you are a beautiful person, and you never know, on the outside, some people might think you look like an angel. ^_^
(If I offended anyone I am really truly sorry, and when I was saying the good things about me I wasn't trying to show off) DRINK HOT CHOCOLATE AND BE HAPPY!!!

[Carlynn K]

My leg & underarm hair grows really fast, and my boobs are HUGE, size 32D, twice as big as my friends' (Im only 13) that look wierd with the rest of my body because the rest of me is pretty thin, cept i have a bit of hips.

And my feet look teeny compared to the rest of me. I have size 5 feet and I'm 5'6"

[Jen]

i have armpit stubble and weird armpit skin and buttcrack hair and fast growing pubes!!
And a whole bunch of other stuff!!
I feel for ya!!!!!!

[mariia]

i have hairy toes, yes i know, gross.
and i REALLY don like my teeth,
or my feet.
and im short. im 5'
sooo yeahh, just had to get tht out there, and this seemed ike the ideal place! lol

[Donna]

Wow, I relate to this so much. And, yeah, I have buttcrack hair too (everyone does, I think) and my boobs are actually okay-size, they're just more pointy than rounded. :(

[Katie]

I TOTALLY have butt crack hair!!! Don't worry, I hear it's okay and normal.

[arielle]

if u dont talk about your flaws then no one will actually notice them uh lol but all in all great comic THANKS MARTINA!!!!!!

[michelle]

Hahah, my friend Sarah and I discussed our body - flaws. There are so many things that can be 'wrong' on your body, in the words of Mean Girls.
And yes, I do have butt crack hair. Brutally honest, people, brutally honest.
A lot of girls cover up their imperfections, or lie about to make themselves seem perfect. But the smarter ones know it`s there ...
WEIRD ARMPIT SKIN. WIRE - Y PUBES, THE WORKS!

[blindinlove]

YOU DiE YOUR PUBiC HAiR?? WOW THATS A FiRST.
lOl

YOU SWEAT YOURSElF 2 MUCH!
iTS NOT EVEN THAT SERiOUS.
THANK GOD YOU HAVE lEGS lOl

EVERYONE iS BEAUTiFUL. lEARN 2 lOVE YOURSElF
DESPiTE YOUR FlAWS! EVEN THOUGH WE All HAVE OUR DAYS.

p.s. i lOVE YOUR PERSONAliTY!!!!

[Gwen]

This comic made it clear to me that sometimes people don't notice the little things that bug you about yourself that you do. Like the "don't stare at my upper lip hair," and the "stop looking at my manly sideburns," parts... I didn't even notice those unitl she mentioned it. XD

[anonymous]

I love this comic. I have butt crack hair too, and for the longest time, i thought i was the only one haha. Now im getting bikini waxing done but it hurts like a bitch, so i really cant understand how women do brazilian. What makes me mad is how society pressures us. All my guy friends say they want a girl who gets brazilian waxing done, i dont understand why!!!
i have some nipple hair too which i have to pluck, and same with my belly, i have to bleach that hair and pluck, but its still never completely gone.
My point is, im glad someone had the guts to write about this, everyone talks about girls having eating disorders, which is obviously a serious issue because it can be deadly. but girls have other body issues too, and to me, these things seem worse because not everyone says they have butt crack hair so u kind of feel worse about yourself.
all i can say is, im glad we all know we're not the only ones who are paranoid about our bodies :P

[Carly]

@ Rheannabanana

The point of this comic is that we’re not all perfect and that we are all self-conscious about something. :]

[Carly]

Oh my God, I love you!!! XD

[Kay]

Um...a little toooo grafic for my taste...

[christine]

dude...i have so manu imperfection that i don't know where to start
1.i have a WIRED hair....and it's UGLY
2.my lips look like car crash accident-angelna jolie
3.my nose looks like a pig ones
4. my eyes are frog-ish
5. my neck is way too long(that's why i have a long tounge too
6. i am FAT
7.i am hairy
8.i have some ugly-cucumber-like legs
9. i have big feets
10 i am so tall

SEE i'm worst

[jackie!]

I am not EVEN GOING TO START on my own imperfections, those of which are plenty. My friends and family are constantly reassuring me that I'm so skinny and beautiful, but I just can't believe them.

I don't really understand the height thing though. I've always been very comfortable with my own height, but that's probably because I'm taller than average. (Incidentally, most of my friends are a lot shorter than me and when speaking with them I sort of have to bend down.)

Butt crack hair sucks.

[Rheannabanana]

And the point of this comic is...? :/

[sophie]

well i dont have nasty armpit hair, or like uneven boobs or puffy nipples.
i dont have buttcrack hair.
the only thing i have here is like big feet, size like 9 1/2, but im like 5'4

[GIRL.]

Ahhh.Its All Normal. NObody Ever Notices Them Actually. HAHA.!

[MonikaSue]

Oh, I also have hairy fore-arms. thanks for the dark arm hair, dad.... -_-

[MonikaSue]

Wow! This comic actually is very reasurring!

I have funky armpits. I bleach my 'stache because my mother doesnt want me to start waxing it because it's a nuisance to take care of. Bum hair sucks, I know. My nip-nips are practically not there, and since my school tends to be really cold, they're there when I don't want them to be. I inherited mix-match boobs from my mother, one is a who different cup for the most part. And pubes, dont get me started.

everyone has imperfections. the problem is, girls put eachother or thing others will put eachother down about them. If you dont point them out to the world, they usually wont notice. that's what I say.

[rina]

When I shave my armpits and legs I always get these bumpy pimply things! I don't think they're pimples because they're hard.

[anonymous]

I feel really weird confessing this but when I was born, I was a really hairy baby and had come out with a full head of hair. The docter called me and ape (ha ha so funny he is -.-) To this day, I have eyebrows that grow back so fast even when I wax them, really hairy legs (that I do shave) and back hair just above my butt. I'm always really embarrassed to change in gym so I change really fast. Its so embarrassing :(

[...]

I realize that no one's commented on this in a li'l while... but i just wanted to say....

The problems i have is one boob bigger than the other, and i have "football shoulders" and a small head :(:(
But this comic made me feel like im still normal even with that weirdness...
Thanks ferr makin this :) ^.^

[gabby]

[Imma_Eat_Choo]

Jordan, I totally have that exact same problem! [Also I'm really self-consciousness about my nipples because I hate how they are so big. They are not that big in comparison to some others, but they look huge on me because I have small breasts.] It's completely annoying! Also, it's like my breasts are sideways, my nipples litterally point out to the side. I hate it so much. (But I have to say one thing that's really odd- my name is Jordan, too.) lol But At least I'm not the only one unhappy with my breasts.
