Reply from Amanda, Age 18 - 05/17/07 - IP#: 63.135.14.xxx don't put up with it. they're supposed to be your friends. friends don't put eachother down. Let them know it bothers you. and also, try to think positive... like "when im at my goal weight they won't be able to make fun of me" and who knows you could make better friends who accept you for who you are and your friends will regret ever pushing you away with their rude comments. good luck girl, i been through it so i know how you feel! remember you choose who you want to be, do you want to be the girl who's self concious because her "friends" make fun of her? or the confident girl who surrounds herself with good people? its your choice, remember that. good luck :)
