    This is verry common for 70% guys. Meet with ur freinds normally. And swim may reduce it.good luck.:)

    Wear a T-shirt if you feel self conscious. Seriously, no one will care what you look like as long as you don't show that you are embarrassed.

    It is very common, i would suggest you have a trip to your local pool and just observe what people are doing. You will soon see people of all sizes and shapes having fun and forgetting about their worries.

    Swimming is great exercise and it is not hard on the body. Avoid impact exercises such as running as these can damage your knees and shins at your age.

    just tell u dont want to. be frank that ur not comfortable...

    but u know it doesnt matter all that much, the other guys in the team may not care all that much...

    if anything, sports may even do good to firm up ur body. maybe its just coz ur chubby ryt now...

    highly discourage working out at the gym ur too young for that still... running myt b better. aerobic sports(like swmming and running) burn fat and firm muscle well.
