First off, I want to just introduce myself to the forums and let you know that I've been reading the posts for a while now as a non member and I absolutely am shocked with the amount of good people/advice this forum has to give and I hope I can contribute to that. Now, my "problem": I am 18 years old and I've been going to the gym on and off for about a year now. I consider myself to be in pretty decent shape im about 5'8 150 lbs and am an avid hockey player. I have a 37 inch chest and a 31 inch waist and I feel good about my body except for one insecurity, which happens to be my butt. I know some may laugh when they read that but I've been teased about it a lot. My friend's will constantly point it out and say "look at that badonkadonk" and different crap like that. Asking me why my a$$ is so big. I'm to the point where I hate it when people walk behind be because I think they're starring at it and thinking how big it is. The part that im confused about is that my butt when it is flexed is hard like a rock (not trying to brag here in anyway) which I think was a result of hockey 4 to 5 days a week. I guess I'd like to know how to get my "butt" in shape. I want to put my shirt on and take a side view in the mirror and not see a bubble butt. I welcome any advice and thanks again for reading this long post.
Looking for some advice...

I was very conscious of my butt when i was about your age. Don't worry about it women love full butts. Its means your lower body domiant which alot of althetles are.
Geez, reading this post brought back memories, i remeber looking in the mirror in just about everything i put on when i was younger to see how my butt looked.
If you let your friends get to you they will keep it up. Its human nature. They found a hot button. I'm thinking its in your head personally. It was in my case and i still have a pretty big rear end. Bigger now i would say with all the squats and deads i do.
It is probably genetic, your butt is going to be proportionally big no matter what you do to the rest of you. I always thought my butt was big now because I am so big, but I was looking through a photo album recently and saw pictures of me from many years ago when I was about 40 pounds lighter and guess what, my butt stuck way out then too.
Besides women aren't shallow like us men, they would never judge a man solely on his physical appearance!
