Im 14 and very skinny. I eat alot, more than alot of my friends, and I get alot of rude comments about how skinny, I am and that im a tooth pick, or are anerexic. It hasn't really got to me, except for lately, because thats all I've been hearing lately. LIke on t.v. they are talking about how skinny is out, and that the new beautiful is to be fat. There like dont starve yourself, and make fun of people that are skinny, and say that fat is beatiful, and about how models,and girls starve them selves, and they don't know that not only does it affect people that are to skinny, because they starve themselves, but it also insults people like me, who don't starve them selves, but can't help it. I also don't get why people will be like aw your like a tooth pick, or will be like oh my gosh you TOO skinny, but dont say a thing about people who are TOO fat. Alot of people are like oh well their just jealous, it still gets to me that people will do this to people who are like me, but not too big.

People that bully or tease(make fun of) have low self esteem, that's why they do it - to make themselves feel better.

ok... well you dont like being called skinny, toothpick etc... Big people do not like being called FAT either.
I think it is just the words we use. I have a sister who is very thin. Extreemly thin. People say things like "you need to eat more". "your too skinny ". " do you have anorexia"... blah blah blah.
She eats well and does not need to excercise at all. She is just petite.. I think she is beautiful and just the size she should be.
My sister has told me she thinks people comment because they are worried about her. You hear so much on tv about anorexia etc and so it is natural for people to want to help.
People that are jelouse of her say different things like," skinny *****"."you need to eat!!!".. etc. She just ignore those ones.
I have been thin and big and now getting thin again. I have been on both sides of the fence. I am 172cm tall or about 5ft 8in an used to be 58 kilo through extreem dieting and excercising. Then 2 years ago my baby passed away and i went up to 100 kilo..Very big.. Now i am about 70 kilo and looking very fit and nice. So i have had a lot of Fat and Skinny comments. Just ignore the ones that sound like jelousy. Not all Big people are jelouse either. I would never be jelouse of my sister. She is 5ft 2in or anout 160cm tall and only 45 kilo. She can not keep her weight above that even after children..
We are both beautiful and i have never had a problem with thin people....

People who are insecure often put others down in order to make themselves feel better.
If fat person is unhappy with being fat and wants to be skinny, they will pick apart skinny people in order to make themselves believe they are better off fat. If a person is unhappy with their facial features, they will find whatever they can ot be wrong with those they envy, in order to not feel so bad for themselves. Same goes for anyone who is unhappy with themselves for any reason... some skinny and/or gorgeous people do it too.. not all overweight and/or ugly people do it. It's just depends on a persons security.

Some of it may stem from jealousy. Although we are becoming more health consious as a nation to be aware of conditions such as anorexia and bulimia. Some people are
just naturally skinny and have a high metabolism and can't seem to gain weight no matter what they do and we need to be aware of that as well.

.. The same reason skinny people make fun of overweight people. Sometimes people suck and like to make others feel bad about themselves. It's lame.

It is because they feel secure when they bully you as they are bigger in size...
dont worry about their comments... think it in your heart.
They are dying first because of their obesity before you.. think "DIE FREAKS!"... haha, joking... :-P
