Being overweight is not the worst thing in the world. If people dislike you or make fun of you because you look 'big' or 'fat', then they are complete IDIOTS! I could scream this out to the whole world until someone finally listens and realizes that it is very stupid and pointless to make someone feel bad about their weight. I am overweight myself, but it doesn't really bother me and I stay healthy by exercising and eating right. Remember, it can be upsetting, but just know that people should see you for how you act and how nice you are, not how big or skinny you are because they are the ones that have problems. If anyone makes fun of you regarding weight or how you look, then you should honestly tell them where to go and not feel bad because the human body comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes. My advice to you (if you are uncomfertable about your weight and all) then just exercise and eat right! Don't worry, be happy and good luck!

I am not trying to make being overweight look "Good", but I am just offering advice and it is just all my opinion.

Reply from Claodia, Age 15 - 05/29/03 - IP#: 205.188.209.xxx What are you talking about? being fat is ONE of the worst things in the world. It's not healthy, it's depressing, it stops people from doing what they want to do. Our society is judgemental. We have little or no self-confidence. We are ALL unhappy. To tell you the truth, I'd rather be anorexic than fat. I know it's a sad thing to say, but I know a lot of people feel tht way. Being fat sux. It has no good qualities about it, except that us girls get bigger boobs, but who cares? The point is we'd all rather be skinny, and I don't care how much you make it seem as if it's a good thing when it's not. I hate not being able to wear a bikini to the pool. I hate not being able to get a belly ring or wear skirts or shorts bcuz my legs ar to big. I hate that my favorite clothing designer is betsey johnson but I would never be able to wear her clothes. I hate that Idon't even like to wear tank tops because I have stretch marks on my arms. I hate that i look pregnant when I AM NOT!!!!Being fat is not good at all. Why should I have to work to be a normal 15 year old girl! I happy that your happy with the way you look and feel. But i dont feel and look like I picture myself at all.
