Sometimes the best way to 'fit in' is just stand out even more. Put yourself out there. Have a day at your school where everyone learns of CF. Make it known, so that way people know why you are the way you are, and they can accept it, or deny it.
Best of luck! And don't give up!

Girls, wait until your metabolism slows down in your late twenties. You'll be wondering, "where did all that cellulite come from?" and "when did my chest get to a B cup?" haha

surround yourself with people who support you. that's the key. if they're too ignorant to even attempt to empathize with your situation, it's best to just forget about them. you got enough to deal with already.

It took me a while during my teen years to accept my difference's. I grew up to love that I'm so different because that's what makes me, ME. I realized that I wanted to be unique in my own way. I didn't want to try and be the same thing as somebody else. Sure, I have role models but I follow my own life path. We all have good days & bad days. Most days, I love being different, on other days, not so much. At the end of the day, I'm happy with who I am. Everything in my life makes me the person I am today. ...Looking so young right now isn't as bad as you think. Just think about the future: When you're in your 30's it will look like you're in your 20's. THEN people will say "wow you look GREAT for your age!" ...Keep the faith about having a boyfriend. 13 is still so young. (but, I know, the boys are just soo cute!) You have so much time ahead of you and lots of other things to focus on besides love. ~Where there is great love, there are always miracles~ For now, enjoy life as it comes. Don't sweat the small stuff. You'll smile and remember all the wonderful memories about how much fun you had. A happy life.<div><br></div><div>Hugs to you</div><div><3</div>

I actually enjoy being different. Although, my differences are not due to my CF (other than taking enzymes). Instead of thinking of yourself as different, think of yourself as unique.
<br>
<br>What's amusing to me is that my friends start to adopt some of my less than usual characteristics. Phrases I use, ways I do things (like marking my soda bottle with medical tape, so we don't get them confused). Imitation is the highest form of flattery. I'll bet if you exude confidence people will try and emulate you, rather than seeing you as "different."<br><br>ETA:  Do not let your CF define you.  I find that many people with illnesses let that happen.  If you are in that mindset, people will label you and you will always be the "kid with CF."<br>
