"I am Bigfoot
I am only 12 and I wear a size 12 shoe. My dad says that soon we'll have to find a clown store to buy my shoes from. I have the biggest feet of anyone I know! My dad sometimes slips on my flip flops to go out and get the paper! What should I do?"

If you want to minimize your feet size, one thing you could do would be to wear long pants and skirts. And in the summer time, buy some trendy flip-flops, paint your toenails, and don't be afraid to show them off! |

Talk with your Dad about the comments he makes and how it makes you feel uncomfortable. It's important to let him know how you are feeling so that he can support you. It takes a lot of courage to talk to your parents, but you can do it! It will help you in the long run. |

You're definitely not alone; lots of people don't like their big feet size. If you want to take attention away from your feet, try bringing attention to something else like your clothes or your hair. Experimenting with new looks could be fun, and people will be too busy noticing your new look to even comment on your feet. |

Don't worry about it! Love your feet! It's ok that your feet might be larger than other girls, but remember that you aren't the only person who has size 12 feet. Besides, if you were, then why would there be other people just like you buying size 12 shoes? You are unique and beautiful! |

If your feet are the only body part that you have to worry about, then you must be stunning. :) If you have ever watched Dr. Phil, people love big feet and you should love your feet. Remember, you are special and you have nothing to worry adout. You will find someone with the same size feet as you. Look, do you care what people think about you? It's more important what you think about yourself. I have a boy in my grade. His foot size is 10. He keeps it a secret but he knows that for him, it doesn't really matter. Good advice for you is to forget about it and enjoy your life. You are too young to worry about things like that. Enjoy your life!!!! Some people have much worse problems to deal with! Dear K.C, I understand your problem. You're insecure about you're feet. A lot of girls feel the same way about other things. No one is perfect, and besides, the world would be boring if everyone looked the same. Love yourself, and never change! - Bright_eyed_wonder, 12 Hi K.C., cheer up! I'm 12 and I wear a size 9 1/2 or 10. I know exactly the way you feel. I wear a bigger size than everyone around me. But hey, I mean, it makes you unique! Don't be embarrassed or sad. There are always places out there that sell big size shoes. Maybe you just haven't found one yet. So keep your head up high, and be happy! -Kawthar Just ignore your dad. Did you ever see that episode of Full House where they were all calling Michelle "Big Feet?" No matter what other people say, even your father, you shouldn't take them seriously. Anyway, he's probably just kidding, just as Stephanie and D.J. were with Michelle. K.C., You are not a bigfoot! I wear bigger, and I'm your age. Do you look at other people's feet and care what shoe size they wear? I bet you said NO. It's the same with other people! It doesn't matter!Your friends shouldn't care if they're good friends! They should like you for who you are! And if all that didn't make you feel better, then talk to your dad about how his comments make you feel. (Do this anyway!) Feel good about yourself, and you won't be worried about your feet (and then you can start worrying about that math test). - Cream, 12
