how old and how much?

how old do u have to be to get lipo? and how much will it cost? and is it for me? im pretty young so i doubt i can get it done right now but i mean when i do get old enough but im 12 years old and i weigh 160-175 pounds and sometimes i get up to 180-185lbs and my doctor has been naggin me for my weight and i've been excersing and eating right but i just cant lose the fat. itz in my stomach,thighs and upper arms and my breasts r way bigger then usual girls my age and i just dont appreciate myself because of it. i wear a jacket everyday and i wont leave the house without a jacket because they bother me. they are even bigger then my moms and my grandmas. and my buttocks is huge too. and i just hate myself because of the way i look. and i dont fit in and it makes me want to curl up in a ball and die. because both of my parents are thin and all of their other kids are thin and im just fat. and i try tellin myself im not fat but then i see all these other kids my age wearin size 0-4 in pants and stuff it just makes me want to get away even more and my favorite stores are startin to have clotes that i cant fit anymore. so wat shud i do?

I feel your pain.  Liposuction is not the solution.  It would be best to discuss this with your parents or grandparents and seek the help of a professional nutritionist who will see you on a regular basis and help and follow you with a weight loss program.  It sounds like you are motivated to lose weight, but need the help of someone who can direct you.
