Just want to ask this question because I've been reading a lot of articles about skinny girls and they are often asked if they are anorexic or bulimic. I'm really really skinny but i have curves and somehow a cleavage. No one has ever asked me if I'm anorexic or bulimic. They told me that I'm small and skinny but that's ok for me cause its true and i can't deny it. I'm just wondering if those people who asked them had thought that being skinny is really hard. :)

There is a difference between slender and skinny

There are women who are thin by nature, and there are people who are seriously underweight. There are healthy weight guidelines that are posted in every doctors office. If you are like most people you are a bit overweight. But there is a look that comes with being underweight. The big tells are thin arms with no muscles, bony shoulders, and lack of hips. This is in women by the way. If you read any of the crappy celebrity magazines, you will actually get some good examples of some women who are too thin. Kudos's to the mags for pointing this out.
Thin is NOT in, healthy weight is far more attractive

Most people are not skin and bones naturally. Emphasis on MOST. I know that there are people who are naturally that way, but the percentage is small. Not only that, but also if someone IS anorexic or bulmic, then by bringing it up and maybe getting the person to admit there is a problem, they may can get help. People die from both of those diseases.

I'm not too sure about that.... I have a friend who is really skinny [and boney] and people say she's anorexic when she, in fact, eats quite enough food and doesn't puke it out later. Maybe that people who are like that have some sort of gene or something....or maybe some people are just jealous =p

because it is an epidemic in our society of everybody wanting to look like starts on the magazine covers all skinny and anorexic. girls now a day will do anything to look like their favorite supermodel or start and its very sad since it can cost you your life, people are just being cautious and concerned when somebody looks like skin and bones

It's tough. Being harassed about having some sort of disease is hard to deal with. I've been accused of having anorexia and bulimia. It sucks because many people are naturally this way. It's called a fast metabolism.

i am very thin naturally. i have been as if i am anorexic and bulimic since i hit puberty. (like 12 years ago). i have a very healthy appetite so people assume i must vomit it up to stay thin. i dont like being thin b/c of people like that.

Because some of them look anorexic! If they are bony and unhealthy looking, people will think that maybe they are doing something unnatural to their body.
