I have to say: I find this sight desterbing. Pre-Teens shouldnt be tought that they are too fat!! Ive alwys been overwight. People sometimes treat me bad cause of it. But it really upsets me to see so many young girls so upset about thier wight at ushc a young age that they turn to message boards about how to loose weight. be kids. I know other kids are mean. But if there maen it means they are unhappy. I had a skinny friend (whos nick name is Bean Pole) tell me last week that she always hated being skinny cause people make fun of her cause she is so skinny. Someone told her if she turns sidways and sticks out her toung she looks just like a zipper. ok, mabey thats alittle funny. but not to her! She said she hate being skinny and would rather be fat cause people will stand up for fat kids and go "thats not nice they cant help it" I dont think that happens very much but she thinks it does. I gusse skinny kids hate being skinny too. I ewish people would stop trying to make kids look like other kids and just enjoyt being kids. Ive always been over wight. Im also being treated for an eating disorder. I have bulimia. I hate to see how much this pree teen site looks like the adult pro-ed sites. Try to accept yoru self! People are beautiful the way they are. Dont let people tell your not cause your bigger than the skinny kids. besides. Who knows what you will look like later in life anyway. My aunt weighed over 300 lbs as a teenager. Shes now like...40 or somthing and shes skinny...and she never diets ether. Just have fun! Dont be afraid to make frineds. Its ok to be the way you are. you dont have to look like everyoneelse!!!!
Reply from April, Age 12 - 06/28/04 - IP#: 205.251.142.xxx I honestly don't agree about what you said. Most people here are very concerned about their heath. I think that it's dangerous for people not to exersice and eat healthy.
Reply from Janis, Age 11 - 06/26/04 - IP#: 64.12.116.xxx I disagree wit wat u said, what u just said doesn't help anybody on this site and this site is for helping kids so my advice to u is get over urself and say something more apropreiate next time iight.
Reply from marie, Age 12 - 06/24/04 - IP#: 68.148.144.xxx ...i think she meant her aunt was 40 years old but anyways this is a plce where people can get advice form people around their age, not some where to try and make friends(not saying it doesn't happen) and criticise people for being "fat" i know how it isn't the best liufe to be super skinny but i think being healthy i=and not being classified as 'overweight' is one of the big issues as well that people try to lose weight
Reply from Julie, Age 12 - 06/21/04 - IP#: 198.81.26.xxx i doubt ur aunt is 40 pounds. and if she is, i'm sure that she dieted
Reply from Anna, Age 12 - 06/20/04 - IP#: 24.21.27.xxx K do you have any idea how rude that sounded????? I came her to read other peoples problems and try to help them and for them to try and help me but that just made me feel even worse about my self than I ever have at this site. We don't all come here because we think that were fat. k? so as far as I am concerned If you don't like what were doing here and how we do what we do here than you can jus leave...eerrrrrrrrr... I'm sure what I just wrote is what other people think too.
Reply from Amy, Age 10 - 06/20/04 - IP#: 207.69.139.xxx I would hardly call it rude and ignoant when I see the SAME EXACT conversations on the adult groups. And if you think "bulimics arnt allowed" rmemeber. Chances are....some of the people you talk to on this page already ARE. Adult web sites for eatingdisorders are just like thsi one! Its all about " i weigh XXX. IM SO FAT! what do I do!?" Then peole give all these tips. Its the same thing. Its just incuraging more people to end up with EDs cause it tells them that its wrong to be the way they are and that they ahve to cahnge it to be happy. personaly....I think you all need to make freinds in real life. Cause if your on here tyring to make freinds I guss you must not have any at home.
Reply from Rachel, Age 14 - 06/20/04 - IP#: 24.31.201.xxx Are you a hypocrite or something? Aparently you took it even farther than the kids on this message board did if you're bulemic. And if these messages upset you, don't read them. Kids come here for advice because they want to be HEALTHY, not just skinny to look good. And..err.. bulemics arent allowed on this site.
Reply from ugh, Age 11 - 06/19/04 - IP#: 24.124.81.xxx u kno what it makes people feel good when they talk to others that have the same problem and it may make u mad so don't come to this site!but when people find help wit the problems they have it makes them feel good and i don't think u should tell a girl u should be proud of being fat that can offend someone and with all the stress now it can make people feel really unhappy and if u arn't happy about urself u can't be the best person u can be ----------this is all one of my thies(i can't spell so u kno like a though)
Reply from dave, Age 12 - 06/19/04 - IP#: 24.129.117.xxx While i agree with your message (about self confidence),you really should read a book before you judge it. This site does get plenty of girls and guys who are worried about "how fat they are," but the replies (all from kids) always offer advice for the person emotionally ("don't worry; i weighed xx lbs too...) and physically (drinking xx amount of green tea can...). Many kids here ARE happy about who they are and "enjoy being kids." So please, look around a bit before you make such rude comments.
