today at school my health teacher was talking to us about eating disorders and like then when he got to talking about annorexia hes like i used to think lexi was borderline annorexic because last year she was a twig but now she gained alot of weight.
i know im not that fat, (like 102 pounds and about 5'5 and i used to be 90) but it still bothered me that he basically was saying i was fat, wasnt it wrong of him to make a comment like that?

It doesnt sound like he was calling you fat It sounds like he was worried about you being too thin and that he was commenting on you gaining weight. 5'5" and 102 is still very small I wouldnt worry too much.

he did not mean u were fat at all. He was very rude and insensitive though. To me you are under weight. I'm not trying to be rude honest, I'm not 13 and I'm close to a hundred, so 102 is a Little light so Ur not fat at all he just used u as an example which was rude because he did not ask u first. you should tell Ur parents the tomorrow go to Ur principles office and make a complaint. Things like that should be taken very seriously.

"not that fat?" You're not fat at all! What the teacher said was inappropriate, but to be honest, probably nothing will happen to him. I would inform your parents, then go see your counselor and ask for a meeting during which you should say that you think his comments were inappropriate and embarassing, and that if he chooses to make such comments about you in the future, you will have the hissy fit of all hissy fits. Ask that the counselor document the meeting in writing and give you a copy.
Hold onto that document. Give the teacher a little slack for being thoughtless, but once it's been brought to his attention, that's it. If he ever does it again, you can sue him and you have a document to show he was forewarned.

I think you have taken it far too personally and have twisted what he said in your mind.
You are not fat, you were very underweight and now you have become a more healthy weight. In fact you could do with gaining some more weight, because you are still about 10lb underweight.
I still think it was wrong for him to comment in that way, but not for the same reasons as you. I just think it was totally inappropriate for him to imply you had an eating disorder, especially in front of your entire class.
HTH : )

I don't think he meant to call you fat, but it still was an inappropriate comment for a teacher to make to a student. And no, you are not fat at all. If you are 5'5" it actually wouldn't hurt you to GAIN weight, because dear you are underweight. I am 5'5" and 122, and people still call me skinny, so trust me you have nothing to worry about. And if the comment your teacher said bothered you, you might want to talk to him about it or tell an adult you trust about it.

Damn right it was wrong! Take it from a real
man's point of view. You're just about perfect
at 102 for 5'.5". I don't know if you can take a
beverage in class with you but if you can, do this.
Go up to him while he's sitting and ask him a question,
then by accident, spill your beverage in his lap or trip
and splash it on him.
If you can't or don't want to do that, go to your parents,
your guidance counselor. Whatever is appropriate for
your age.

In my opinion, It was wrong of him to make a comment like that without first talking to you to see if a comment on yourr weight wouuld upset you. You should take it as a compliment now though because 102 is still verry skinny.

He didn't call you fat at all, he pretty much just called you healthier looking then you were last year, I could see if he was all"Lexi is a good example of obesity. I mean seriously he didn;t say you were fat at all, but it was a bit wrong of him to make that comment, teachers should never use their students as examples.

Tell your parents and the principal at your school. If you don't get satisfaction, go to the superintendent. It's bad enough to deal with teasing from students, but from a teacher is just horrible. Also, I'm a few inches shorter than you and at least 20 pounds heavier than you and most people tell me I'm skinny. You are not fat at all! Don't listen to him!

His comment was rude, insensitive, and inappropriate... ESPECIALLY for a teacher.
You should go either to another teacher you trust, or the Principal, and tell them what the teacher said and how it made you feel. They will help you out.
And BTW, 102 lbs for someone who is 5'5" is NOT fat!!
