Bullying. Needs. To. Stop.

This was fairly close to what my daughter said to that kid who was mocking her.  She included some other body parts in her comment.

 

He he, she sounds like my kind of gal...

The most important curve you will ever have is the one right under your nose.

keep on smiling his opinion only counts if you want it too.

I'll start with my stats....
25 years old
5'0
92 pounds

Now that you know I'm a super skinny midget, I have a few things to say about it.
I've been harrassed my entire life about my size, weight and even cup size. When you're that size with an overflwing C-cup, people tend to assume things that MUST involve tissues.

I've been tormented and called anorexic, drug addict, crack wh***, bulimic.... You name it and I've heard worse.

I have gone into out local convenience store on a 100+*F day wearing shorts and a tank top and was told by the clerk (skinny, admitted former addict) that I was anorexic and needed to go home and put some clothes on. I proceeded to inform her of the outdoor temperatures and how I had no intentions of taking any of her suggestions and P.S. I'm not anorexic so I'd appreciate it if you never shared your opinions of my body with me again. Then her manager was called and I got an "apologetic" email explaining how she too was once a drug addict... WTH! I don't do drugs!!!

People can be cruel when jealousy rears it's ugly head. At 25 years old, I'm finally comfortable in my body, except when my weight drops. My hips stick out. You can count every rib and vertebrae. I know I need to put on a few pounds but I'm not going to obsess about it anymore. My metabolism is extremely high. I have osteoporosis. I'm post-menopausal. The menopause was actually supposed to make me gain weight but unfortulately, my body misunderstood that rule and went the opposite way. I lost a total of 15 pounds when I was 18. I'm now just 4 pounds shy of my original weight and I'm proud of that.

That boy sounds like he might actually be worried about you and not necessarily being critical. I could be very wrong but that's how the conversation struck me. If he speaks again, I would recommend either setting him straight or humiliating him, all depending on how he's approaching you. I see those sorts of accusations (you're anorexic, bulimic, too yada yada, etc.) as HUGE insults to yourself and the disease. Those disorders are diseases and should never be taken lightly. You also don't have those disorders so he needs to stop labeling you and being such a bigotted jerk.

I hope it gets easier for you. And please don't emulate those models. Not all of them were born with the genes to look that way. It takes a lot of vomit to get that famous...

Man, that's tough to deal with. I've been called scrawny by my co-workers, they didn't mean it offensively though. I think it is strange that he's talking to you about something so personal as your weight. You could tell him that it's none of his business and inappropriate. Good luck.

 

[chickened]

Sounds like he may like you and is communicating to get your attention... albeit not the best way.

I weigh 156 and i ain't a teen yet

Today the locker room lady asked "do you ever eat?". >_> I may never have a curvy body like Beyonce, actually scratch that, I consider Beyonce skinny. I may never have the body of the average american teenage girl with boobs and a butt, I may be flat as a board forever, and my arms might stay like chopsticks forever, but that doesn't make me any ... Okay I don't know what to say. No comment.
I think my face is pretty though.

It's just weird when ya can't talk to half the girls at your school when the "girly body" convos come up. Plus I don't wanna go to a beach looking like a man with a woman's face and woman's hair. Seems like every guy I like turns me down even if I'm cool or awesome to them "nah she's too flat". There ARE some guys, like 2 or 3, that have asked me out, but weren't my taste. All didn't have good hygene or bathing habits. Sorry but I can't stand guys who are "dirty". I like a clean, shaven, responsible, handsome, muscley

and good smelling kind of guy. Preferably older too.. Just a bit older. And muscles. Hoo boy muscles. A guy who goes to his weights for work.

 

[Moochie]

Hmm sounds like I'm contradicting myself...
I don't fit what most guys want yet I want a muscley good looking guy. Hm. I don't wanna see ribs on a guy.. <---- See! Lol! Well my ribs don't stick out unless I stretch. If I look in the mirror I can see the bottom on my ribs a little bit, nothing too ugly I hope. I can feel my hips all the time too. :c I have rather nimble fingers aswell.. Atleast I don't look gaunt in the face.
Is it bad that I myself, a chopstick, finds men like (Rudy Youngblood

) attractive when I don't exactly fit beauty standards myself?

Flat as a board? Arms like chopsticks?

<-- *looks down and clears throat*

Coupled with that, I'm tall for the height of my parents and very skinny. Doesn't bode well for what other people think of me. Recently I've noticed a marked decrease in my levels of physical activity though, which has put a bit of weight on me. Good. I've never been much of a PE fan anyway.

But yeah, I know where you're coming from. I seem to have gotten my mother's physical genes. My mother is 46, and people are always commenting on how she could possibly have a teenage daughter when she only looks like she's thirty.

She tells me I'll appreciate it when I'm older. Which I suppose is when getting a guy really counts... after I've got the education and career stuff sorted...

lol, I guess our priorities are different. But don't give up on your guy dreams! You might not end up getting one who's 100% perfect, but as long as he's partway there and appreciates you....

Oh, what am I doing. I know nothing about teenage love. I'll stop talking now.

I actually want to start dating after highschool because I know no one who is truly committed... Well one guy but my friend has him. Everyone else is like "i just wanna date to have a gf" well, I want a relationship to prepare for the future. A guy with a good education would be nice, a good husband, faithful, hardworker, etc. Who will love me for me too. I don't know how long I'm going to be this thin and when I turn average adult age I want to look like a woman. Not too big but atleast a Jessica Alba body. And I want real opinions from other users on this forum too... I always fear I will never be good enough looks wise because alot of men these days want thicker curvier girls. I do have confidence but I'd say my lean body is my biggest insecurity.
A "popular" guy has told me I look "aight" because of my frame, that my proportions are all right. >_> Maybe he said that just to make me shutup lol.
