it is hard being fat. You come home form school crying because people have called you a fat cow or fat A$$. It hurt. And i hate it because now i lost weight and my friend gained and they call me crying nullIt really hurts null

I have been called fat all my life by my parents and my brothers and people at school. After a while you grow numb to it. You get angry and hurt but think about it......... they are saying that because THEY are jealous of you and the way you look and they are thinking man I wish I was her. Just think about it and anaylize it and make sence out of it and soon after that you can be like oh well like I haven't heard it before and also listen to the way they say it because that also says alot about who thay are. And just basically ignore them..they don't know what they are talking about. And they don't know who they are talking to......... do they know you? are they your friends?
well that's all for me

I don't think you or your friends should pay any attention to these people that do that. They just have touble accepting themselves and they're body images, so they make it a personal torture to others, to point out other people's flaws.

Love yourselves no matter what. Be comfortable in your own skin. If you are, don't change for anyone, it is not worth it.
And another thing, don't let these people see you cry. They'll think they have succeeded in hurting you and making you feel bad, and they will go on doing it.

Ignore them and they will realize their words don't hurt and have no affect on you. They'll stop and find someone else to pick on. They always do.

I said it before, but I can always say it again. Reiteration brands it into the mind.

Beauty is only skin deep, then why do others tease and make fun of other people because they don't look like they do.
Why can't people expect who you are for who you really are? Why do they have to make other people's lives so awful?
Bye have a nice day

gemini is right, many people are attracted to "larger" females.
Spiders included.

im not fat because i forget to eat a lot. kind of weird but true

You know, being called "fat" in a lot of Spanish countries and third world countries is a sign that you're healthy and will live a prosperous life. And I believe being called "phat" here in America is a compliment. I suppose if a close friend calls you fat, they could be saying you're "cool" or something. Just some reasoning.

And people who make fun of others do that because it gives themselves a sense of security that they lack in some area. Don't let them see that they hurt you, and they most likely won't see a need to bother you.

Be happy with who you are. True beauty is only skin-deep

My brother makes fun of me and says, "I'm fat" and a girl called me chubby once(she didn't say it in a mean way, she is my friend, she wouldn't do that) but now she is saying, I'm really shinny and tiny, yea, she is confusing at times but if I'm not fat then why did she say that to begin with then change her mind? and why does my brother make fun of me about being fat if it's not true?
I just feel fat and I know I look like too. But, it's no big problem because I will never do what those other girls do, hopefully. Not saying that I'm smarter and wiser than them because I'm not. I'm just saying I love food and I don't think I could give it up. But, yea, I will say one thing, I do something not eat as much as I want to, but no big deal.
I don't need any attention for a problem that I cause to myself, like I said it's not a big deal for my case, I lay off the food sometimes and don't go to lunch or the bending machines, that's not a big deal!
I really do WISH I could help you, Amanda but, I really don't know what to say. Damn(sorry for my swearing), I wish I was smart and wise then I would have a lot of words of advise to give to you.
Bye N Have a nice day Everyone

88 lbs, and fat? In what the skinny as a toothpick weigh in? Come on now and dont be rediculous. I have a dog that weighs more than you and hes like 32 inches tall so please tell me why you think you are fat? Amanda dont sweat them crying to you, just dont tell them that they are fat. All you can do is help them build them up and let them know that you care and will help them if you want.

Read 'confidence- a girl's best asset?' I posted it yesterday and I think it really puts some perspective on this.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to be healthy, but there's a difference between that and actually obsessing over your body image. It will only make you insecure and… annoying? Trust me there are few things I find more irritating than listening to somebody stressing about their weight. If you want to lose some, then sure, you can just exercise and eat healthily, but is your weight the most important thing about you? No. Really, try not to cry over this, don't let it make you miserable. It's NOT a big deal!

Bullies always bully because they are insecure about themselves and they should to be pitied, not you. Just remember they are bugs, mere insects, and if necessary get a teacher to do something about it.

I'm 88 pounds and I'm 4 feet and 8 inches. I think I'm fat, well I know I'm fat but people say I'm not. Who are they kidding? I am fat!!!!!!!!!They are just trying to be nice.
I did a really stuipd thing just a few weeks back. I came to school at the time that they were serving baskfast. I wanted a little something before school started because I didn't have much energy because I didn't have food in my stomach. So I ask one of my friends if I could get a pancake stick from her, she said, "yea". I looked at it for a while then force myself to eat it but not even a second passed that I went and thrown it out of my month before shallowing. I don't go to lunch anymore because I don't want to eat or get money from my mom so I could buy anything from the bending machines
I do eat at home though, that's good!!!!
Well, that's it Bye N Have a nice day

...or you'll regret it.

when i was younger i was so skinny my mom was worried about me. but ever since i was in first grade i've been worried about my weight. i've always thought i was fat, and i hated it. i think the main cause of it was that my best friend was always skinnier than me, and she's three years older than me. she was worried about her weight too. she was 50 pounds in 5th grade, so she had nothing to worry about but how to gain more weight. i always looked up to her, so i think her self-conciousness rubbed off on me. i had always played with her younger sister, kelsey. she was really active, so i was too. she lived right around the corner from me so we were always together. but then she moved. i stayed inside more because my self-conciousness was reaching an all time high. i hated everything about me. i gained alot of weight. i wasn't fat, i was average. it was just new to me, being bigger. now i look back on those times and i wish i hadn't wasted all that time worrying about what i looked like when i was so young. i wasted alot of time that way. i wish i would have been happier with myself. i try not to regret it, but i wish i wouldn't have let myself go. its been really hard for me to get back into shape, but i've doing it with alot of help from my mom. my self-confidence is much higher than it's ever been, and i feel alot better. i'm just saying you should learn to accept what you've got. even if you are overweight there is always something you can do about it. just live and have fun. yeah, everyone has their flaws.

I can't really offer any words of comfort because I've never been through this problem (I'm skinny, and been skinny all my life).

I don't think you or your friends should pay any attention to these people that do that. They just have touble accepting themselves and they're body images, so they make it a personal torture to others, to point out other people's flaws.

Love yourselves no matter what. Be comfortable in your own skin. If you are, don't change for anyone, it is not worth it.

Hey im sorry to hear that. I was called fat, cuz when i was little i was kinda overweight. The thing is you have to look down on this people.. you know?? They are probably so concerned and sad with their own image that they have to point out the flaws on other people images so theirs wont be exposed or noticed.

Dont cry in front of them, it shows them you actually care about what they say. And why would you care?? You shouldnt.
