   I think you need to embrace your femininity. Explore your options. There are so many different types of female artists out there who get a ton of attention- for their music and their appearance. Pink, Madonna, Cher, Britney, Janis Joplin, Mama Cass etc. You will go through many many phases in your life, and it's really good to know who you are and what you want. If your period worries you there is a type of birth control called Seasonique that makes you get your period just 4 times a year instead of once a month with the added bonus of keeping you from getting pregnant.

   At 15 it's too soon to be thinking that you're in the wrong body. If you still feel that way once you have finished puberty then maybe you could consider gender reassignment. In the meantime why not take on some activities that are normally seen as more boyish (soccer, basketball etc.) then you could enjoy your time more.

   go on the pill (certain types can reduce period length and heaviness and such) and prevent pregnancymaybe get your hair cut really short? I have mine really short and I love it that way, just seems more me, and I have hair extensions too that I wear now and again, just for a changedress how you want, if you feel good about you, you'll gain confidence and people will just think of you as eccentric, (normal thing in the music business) make your own styleGo to the men section and try on someHOODf, hoodys and jeans or whatever and see how it feels, be a tomboy and proud

   Hello.Don't apologize for putting this in the wrong category, I don't know what it would go under myself.This sounds like a terrible situation to be in, but I think some of your points aren't completely true.Hopefully by giving them a different side.. you can look at being a female as a gift rather then a burden.One."Boys get more attention, and fans".I think you are only under that impression because you are a FAN of MEN. A lot of females have fans, how else are they famous?. Two."Never having to deal with getting pregnant or having a period."Yeah, I have to agree.. having your period can get pretty annoying.. BUT! It means we can get pregnant, and I wouldn't ever swap not having my period if it meant I couldn't have children.Imagine being a guy and never getting to experience the first kicks of your baby? Feeling them rolling around? Growing a life inside of you.I don't know how to help settle your mind but… we are us for the rest of our lives, we can't change who we are so why bother spending so much energy wishing we were someone else?Learn to love who you are, be grateful that you are a healthy teenager without disabilities, etc.Be happy with what you have because I am sure there are A-LOT of people out there wishing they could walk or see just like you do.Good Luck.

   well your a girl for a reason, and getting a sex change wont change the fact that you ARE a girl. take it for what it is.The first step to being confident in your own skin, is to love yourself. everything will fall into place, your only fifteen . You can still be a successful musician , being a girl. Being a guy has its faults and so does being a girl. your never going to be content with who you are until you accept it.

   just give it a little time. when you get older things will change. when i was 15 i was with a boy for over a year, and at 15 yrs old thats pretty long anyway, things changed over the years. i became stronger. went through a bunch of shitt. i wasnt that pretty then. guys didnt really like me that much. my idol is usher. i would absolutey love to dance like him. just trust me things will change. just have fun being young. youll regret it if you dont. (just dont do anything stupidd) oh and about being a guy cuz life would be easier, i think that too. every day. but you just have to learn to love yourself. and live lifee! hope i helpedd

   A case of envy perhaps? Most women fantasize about being men/knowing what being a man would be like, and several books have been written on it (ex-"Dick for a Day").
