You guys (getbiggers) are always so nice to the new kids on the block, lol.
Zac, at 17 you look far better than most 17 year olds, so don't let these boys bring ya down. They love to talk trash. If all they can do is attack your neighborhood don't sweat it, it means they can't find much wrong with you, although yes, you do need work on your posing
but that will come with experience.
Keep doing what your doing!
