why am i being called anorexic by people just b/c i'm thin?

Question

sure i may be one of the smallest ones in the class at school but that definetly gives no one the right to make fun of me. I AM NO WHERE NEAR ANOREXIC AND I'M NEVER GONNA BE. the funny thing about it is every single person that has made fun of me before is either ugly or they are fat. even though they look a lot worse than me, wut they say really hurts my feelings. i'm not trying to act like i'm above everyone else but before people started to make fun of me, i really thought i was very attractive. but you know how it works, wen people say hurtful things over and over you start to believe wut they are saying. this one group of gurls who were all fat and hideous were making fun of me b/c my breasts haven't fully developed yet. i was like HELLO I'M ONLY 13 AND I JUST STARTED MY PERIOD THIS DECEMBER! now i'm about to be 15 this month (july) on the 23. my boobs have grown just at a slow pace though cuz i'm a late bloomer.

Answer 1

wow, that's pretty good, if the only fault they can find to pick on is that your thin, you should celebrate cuz you must be beautiful

Answer 2

Those people are such meanies. Some feel that it is their duty to make others fell bad to better themselves in life. (Their guilty conscience will grow with them and they will become dim-witted, frivolous, disturbing, conniving people! Being small is nothing to worry about. If you are nice, smart, caring, honest (and other good things) then people will flock to become friends with you. High school is just another phase, when you move to college, you'll leave all those people behind.
IGNORE THOSE PEOPLE. High school is really a place where you can't let peer pressure change you.
Take some hard, AP classes, join clubs, babysit, go to the park, do community service (that brings in a lot of new people to meet... very fun by the way), visit the library, and you will meet so many diverse kinds of people who are critical of appearance.
Being small and petite is 1000000000000000X than big and classified as "women" size. Accept yourself. :)
Show everyone that peer pressure doesn't work on self-confident people. Don't be shy!

I am also a late bloomer, but it really doesn't matter, because we have less body-fat composition, and it doesn't hard that much when we are running!
And aren't periods a drag...ugh!
I hope this makes you feel better. :)
By the way, HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!

Answer 3

I've had people say that too. I lost about 30 pounds about a year ago and since then everyone's been worried or saying I'm anorexic or something even though I'm not. It really bothered me because people said that I was too fat before, I was about 2 or 3 pounds overweight at the time. So you can't win either way. Everybody has an opinion. Try not to let them bother you.

Answer 4

Unfortunately that is just the way people are. If you weren't thin, they would find something else to make fun of you about, it just happens to be the easiest thing and they see that it bothers you so they continue to do it. Are you sure that you aren't making fun of them too though? I'm not saying that you brought this on, either way it is wrong of them to make fun of you, but by the way you are calling them "fat and hideous" it sounds like maybe you might be playing into the name calling. As hard as it is to do, you have to ignore them. Once they see that you don't give a crap about what they think, they will eventually get bored and move on. If ignoring is too hard, think of a snappy comeback. Maybe something along the lines of "your just jealous that I just naturally have the body of a supermodel", then turn and walk away with your head held up high.

Answer 5

Sorry to say that girls can be sooo mean to each other. They are jealous and trying to find ways to rebuilt their own confidence. It is a learning experience for you.
I was really thin at school too, but lucky enough not to have that problem (boys liked my long legs!). Now I am the age of your mum and have the body I had as a student (slim). But you will still find people who liked me better with 1.5 stone more and now tell me that I am "overdoing it" (jealous....). There is nothing we can do against the law of genetics. So, be yourself. Anyway you will live longer than your fat friends!
Be strong!

Answer 6

yeah you have the right mindset, you know that the way you are growing is right for you. good :)

My sister is the exact opposite of me.. she's blonde im brunette she's outgoing, im reserved, she's chubby, i'm thin. She calls me anorexic and tells everyone i don't eat enough, this hurts my feelings very much. I don't go around calling her fat and that she eats junk food all day. So i said that to her i said "i am not anorexic and i don't appreciate you saying how skinny i am cause it makes me feel bad about myself, i don't make you feel bad about yourself do i?" i don't think that what i said is too mushy to use on your friends or girls in your school that give you a hard time, so i suggest trying it and if they don't change then they are not mature enough. At least you are growing in that way, in maturity.

Answer 7

People (especially teenage females) can be very cruel and incredibly narrow minded. You sound really well balanced, wise and sensible. The most important thing to realise is that everybody is responsible for themselves and the way they treat others. You don't need to convince anybody else of your worth, only yourself. Simply tell them that you have better things to do with your time than listen to their negative comments, wish them a good day and be content in yourself that you would never treat another in such a way. Being a teenager is hard work... Good luck

Answer 8

its part of life, ive been called anorexic before because im anemic and never have an appetite, im really small and there's nothing i can do about it (i am at a healthy level for my height and age). Dont let it hurt you, some people have nothing better do then look at the faults of other people so they can bring out their "better qualities". Go figure. it only shows them to be immature...

Answer 9

hey i no how you are feeling im no where near anorexic eighter and yet i think i would just say to those people that r making fun of u that its the way ur made and theres no reason to b jelous of that just cuz their fat witches so if that doznt work then just tell somebody at the school ur going to like the counselor or the pricipal. believe me thell take care of it and that should b the end of it but u never no see me compared to all my friends i am anorexic b/c their all fat and they no it. but just do wat feels right.

Answer 10

woah chill. my friend is going threw the same thing. its just the common case of jealousy or however you spell it. LOL you just have to show youre stronger the those making fun of you. no worries. it ain't your fault your skinny. fast motabilizm or [sp again] anyways just chill there's others going threw the same thing.

And if all else fails kick their fat loving ***.
