Kind of laughed when I read this since I had the same problem as a young lad too. Was terribly paranoid about it. Played a lot of sports myself and was in pretty good shape just had a big ass. I reckon it was just puppy fat in my case as it went away of it's own accord as I got older.

Am still into the fitness and do find that the best thing for keeping a trim behind is cycling. You don't have to be doing 100k sessions or anything like that. Just cycle instead of taking the bus to places and suchlike.....

Cut down on carbohydrates in your diet and, in particular, sugary foods. Get into the gym and concentrate on core exercises, such as squats and deadlifts. Lunges are particularly effective for losing fat from your butt. Use weights but light ones, very high reps and very high intensity. You should really feel it and burn yourself out. After a month or two, you'll notice the fat burn off your ass like butter on toast. Good luck.

Dude some people just have big butts (and they cannot lie)! I'm the same, I play a lot of rugby and kickboxing, and I'm in good shape yet I just have a big ass. I'm a 34 waist in jeans yet I actually take a 38 becuase my ass is big and that's no joke! Anyway I just tell people it's where all my speed and power come from

Lunges dont burn fat off your bum, very high reps dont do much for anything so dont bother with that, the only bit of advise worth taking here is cutting out sugary foods,

and on a side not i've a big bum in comparison to the rest of my body and its great, when im really skinny i dont look like a junkie with no arse, women tend to prefer that.

Mine is big too. Used to detest it but I've got used to it. Some jeans will make it looks horrific while others are much more flattering.

Just for the record, I think we were all a little bit unsure about our lumps and bumps at your age, OP. I know I was...I hated having boobs, wasn't sure what was happening with my waist, didn't like my bum but that changed over time when I gained more confidence in how I looked and realised it was all completely normal. I know this piece of advice is no good to you now but you'll grow into yourself in time. I know when I was 14 I fancied the skinny, scrawny fellas in my class (which seemed to be most of them so I probably didn't have much choice haha) but as I got a bit older, I liked a man with a bum and still do. A little secret for you....a hell of a lot of girls out there like men with a bum to grab! It's personally the first thing I'd check out on a man from afar...

CamillaRhodes

Agree with Eve, my boyfriend (who is fit and slim - though not skinny) thinks he's got a big butt. I think he's got a great ass, love grabbing hold of it So many men have no ass at all and it's kinda yucky.

While getting buff is, of course, always a good thing (!) learn to love what you've got - many ladies will too And you'll be a lot happier than spending your life worrying about and fighting against what god gave you.

So true, my boyfriend is always giving out about the size of his bum, and he's the fittest person I know, has run marathons and everything. But I love his bum!!! One of my fave things about him physically actually, and I was never one for checking out boys' bums.

I know it can be awful at your age OP, but your body is still going through so many changes. Keep playing your sports etc and buy some nice jeans that flatter your shape. I'm pretty sure those lads calling you names are no Brad Pitts themselves.

I'm tellin you though, seeing as I'm clearly not the only one who likes a good bum on a fella, the ladies will have their eyes on ya yet...

You know a lot of women love a good bum on a guy. Imo, a pronounced bum is much better than the "two doorknobs in a pair of jeans" look that some guys have. I used to work with a guy with a big bum when I was in college and all my friends were crazy about him, he wasn't even that good looking, but we all loved his bum.

Different people are attracted to different features. And some people like the opposite of what others like. Don't worry about your bum, they odds are that as you get older you will grow into it more. And the odds are there are plenty of people who will find it attractive.

ever heard of the liverpool legend kenny dalglish , huge ass

anway all you have to say when someone slags you about your butt is , you need a big hammer to drive a large nail

thedeadpoet

I used to have quite a large ass in my younger years but now I've barely any ass at all. If you maintain a frequent exercise routine then it could just be muscle. If this isn't the case then I suggest you heed the advice about your diet, as thats how I got rid of mine...completely.

You must of course remember that you're only fourteen and most boys in their early teens will naturally have 'puppy fat' which will eventually go away when you go through puberty and take a stretch in terms of height.

Crash Bang Wall

I know a guy who has the same problem, but he tries to make little of it.

Best answer Ive heard from him when being slagged is "well you need a big hammer to drive a big nail". It generally gets a chuckle and sorts out a nasty situation

Reflector

You're 14, a bit young so not fully grown, You have a big ass because the muscles are well developed. I had the same when I was younger as I played a lot of rugby and sprinting. But when you get towards 18-20 you start to bulk up in your upper body more and your body catches up on itself.
So don't worry it'll all settle out when you are older and also you'll be glad you have an ass because girls do not like those guys who's back just turns into their legs.
