My friend tells me that her figure is better than mine.

Ugh, that's not a nice thing for a friend to say at all! Seriously, everyone's body is different, and everyone's going through puberty at their own pace. There's no such thing as a "better" figure, because bodies are just bodies, and they are all awesome and unique.

Your body is changing, and that's okay. It's supposed to happen. Some people get hips and breasts first, some grow taller, some get their period super early, some really late. And it's all part of growing up. Your body is doing what it needs to do.

Focus on what makes your body feel good. Like, moving around and eating good food to keep your energy up. That's way more important than what someone else thinks about your "figure." You do you!
