Ht. 5'9, Wt. 193 - Why cant I reply to posts? this was to go to the person whose parents were bringing him/her down by calling them worthless and ugly ::hey.. my parents do the same... but my "father" calls me many many more things... it hurts but you cant live on what your parents are saying.. cause.. its not true. I would say ignore it but even tho I act like its no big deal and blow it off when I think about it... it hurts more than anything that a parental figure that I am supposed to look up to and that is supposed to be my role model.. would say such harsh words just to make me feel bad.. I'm sorry you get to deal with it too. Good luck~ MeGaN

i have the same problems!! i didnt really care about my weight until my family started making fun of me in front of every one. even my little nephew who is 3 is calling me fat. MAN THIS REALLY HURTS. so many times in the past i have thought about taking my own life becase i cant deal with it. i am so tired of being compared to my sister who are older than me and weigh between a 100 and 120 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand I should ignore....but when a child learns to think a certain way for 18 years, I can't stop the negative self thoughts. I hate myself, and they did this to me by teaching me that I'm worthless

Megan,
I am a mom who's teen is on this sight. I am sorry you have to deal with that. Remember that what you think of yourself is what matters the most. Maybe they say those things to try to motivate you...and they really do not realize how it make you feel. Did you try telling them? Either way, look in the mirror and know yourself that is what counts. Best of luck.
