Dieting is not a good idea while you are still growing. A small shift in lifestyle may improve your self-confidence.
Try participating in a team sport such as netball, football, hockey... where you can feel needed as part of a team, lose weight, get fitter, and feel good about yourself. Sport gives you a buzz, a buzz to perform, and to achieve. Exercise speeds up the metabolism, allowing you to eat loads without gaining weight. Don't go mad, just make sure you do a bit each day. Taking a bit more exercise is what is recommended for people of all ages, especially if they haven't got help from a doctor or dietician when planning a diet. If you already take a lot of exercise, then it is quite likely that you are putting on a lot of muscle, and so that is probably why you weigh more than your friends. Exercise is the key to losing weight, and make sure that you get plenty to eat after sport.
All girls put on weight in puberty anyway. It'll be this fat that will protect babies when we are pregnant. Just remember that you aren't fat, and more importantly, be confident in yourself and in who you are.
Rather than dieting change what you eat instead of change how much you eat. Substitute unhealthy food, or modify the way that you prepare it (e.g.: poaching eggs instead of frying). Make sure you get a balanced diet.
*REMEMBER* - Crash dieting is bad news. Lose weight very gradually. Also, keep note on how much you lose each week, and make sure it isn't drastic amounts.
Never regret what you've eaten, think about it before hand, or you are in high risk of it developing into Bulimia.

I don't think anyone your age should have to go on diets. It's really silly + most of the time it's bad for you. Reply

Scrap the diet. Just eat balanced, have the right amount of each food group and do plenty of exercise and you will be fine! Reply
