okay, i know this is going to seem very harsh, but I think this site is a waste of time and innappropriate. We live in a day and age when those of us who do not fit into the mold of a perfect peson are shunned and tormented. It may not seem like it, but those of us who are considered "skinny" have just hard of time finding clothes, and avoiding torment as those of you who are considered overweight. Walking into a store and searching for a size one is hard for us, just as it is for those of you who are overweight to walk into a store and look for a bigger size. Yes, unfortuanely, society is harsh and overweight people are often tormented. This is not fair, but on the other side of the fence, those of us who are "skinny" are usually tormented as much, if not more then overweight people. I'm not "anorexic skinny" but I am thin, and am often poked fun at for being anorexic or belumic. People make sick jokes and torment me just like some people torment overweight people. We all need to just accept our size, and with sites like this around, it's hard to do. Thank you for your time.

Reply from Rachel, Age 14 - 03/21/04 - IP#: 24.31.201.xxx This site isn't just for "looking good" it's for being healthy! Besides this site is for overweight teens... why are you on here in the first place?

Reply from Jimmy, Age 15 - 03/20/04 - IP#: 24.117.41.xxx yeah i kinda get what your saying and your point of view but i think your wrong. sure alot of us our here to help lose weight so we can look good but there are those of us out there such as myself who r here not only because they want to look good but because they want to be healthy being 300 pounds and being happy with your size isnt helping anyone your still at a higher risk for alot of diseases and eventually maybe dieing from your obesity so in the long run being happy with your size isnt enough
Reply from Marina, Age 16 - 03/20/04 - IP#: 24.215.12.xxx Although I can understand you're point of view I don't completely agree. This site is particularly for those who are severely overweight,and this site promotes a halthy lifestyle, looking good is simply an added bonus to living a healthy, active life. Being overweight is dangerous, and can be life-threatening? Are you trying to imply that people who are overweight should just accept their weight and not worry about the health risks they are putting on themselves?
