Weight jokes.


Question Posted Friday December 17 2004, 11:47 pm

This kid in my school, Danny, he knows I had an eating disorder problem, so I lost a really lot of weight; but everytime he sees me he makes some sort of rude comment. They all tend to be toward my weight. For instance at lunch I asked my friend if they had any money I could borrow because I left mine at home, and he said something rude like "What for lunch? Looks like you've eaten enough". Which totaly goes over my head because I've lost about 60lbs since the begining of last summer. So, how should I confront him, or should I not even bother I know theres got to be a way to shut him up without having to bring the principal into it or anything like that. Or should I just resort to that?

Loosing 60lbs in less than half a year is an exellent achievment that you should be proud of, no matter what Danny says. It is likly that Danny has some other problem at home or he is just trying to impress his friends. Next time he makes a comment, ask him to repeat what he said. Often people are not brave enough to. If he does, let him know that you are proud of your phisical appearence,he shouldn't judge people on what they look like and the very notion of picking on someone because of their weight shows that he must have a serious problem. If he carries on, tell your teacher. Don't let him get you down!
Hope I helped, Zoinatrobe

No person deserves to be treated badly because of their physical appearance. Go comfront him ((without making a scene)) and tell him straight up that you shouldnt be treated like that because you have an eating disorder. Also comment that he's very lucky and blessed that he gets to live a normal lifestyle.

Wow, what a jerk! Haha, just ignore him. If he sees that it doesn't bother you, he'll stop. And if he doesn't, then yes, I would tell someone like a parent, teacher, or your principal. Good luck!
Hope I helped!

He probably doesn't know how to relate to you. He found something to annoy you before you lost weight. He probably got a reaction from you when he made those comments about your weight. Now, that you've lost weight, he still wants to get a reaction out of you, but the only way is to still talk about your weight, which you don't have a problem with anymore. So, talk to him, find out things from him that interest him, and just talk to him, who knows, maybe he could be a real neat person to get to know.

Berri answered Saturday December 18 2004, 11:40 am:
I hope you realize that that Danny kid is a jerk, so don't let him get to you. You don't necessarily have to go to the principal unless it's really bothering you and you feel like it needs to end NOW. A good way to deal with this would be the old power-in-numbers routine. Just keep yourself with a close group of friends, and ask them if they can stick up for you a little bit when Danny-boy makes a comment. Because the most embarrassing thing for people who've just tried to make a funny comment is when a large group of people tell them what a loser they are.

cutebrunette answered Saturday December 18 2004, 11:22 am:
I think you should just tell him,"leave me alone or were not friends so just shut up" or something like that. You can yell or whatever you want b/c it is very wrong what he is doing. If that doesnt work maybe you could tell someone (the pricipal,a friend,a parent,an older sibling) someone who will stand up for you.

good luck!!

First of all congratulations on losing 60 lbs! That is quite an accomplishment and you should be very proud of yourself. It's good to hear that you let it just go over your head. What he says shouldn't matter to you at all...EVER! What's important is how you feel about yourself. In terms of talking to him you could surely try it. Ask him why he thinks it's necessary to talk to you and that if he doesn't have anything important to say he should just keep his mouth shut. If i were you i would honestly just let it slide though. He will get what's coming to him. Who knows in a few years he might mature and actually start acting like a human being. ya never know. once again congratulations and best of luck! xoxoxo

First of all go to a doctor they are going to be your greatest help. About your friends, if they keep being rude to you find some new friends.

Happy Holidays!

Avoid him...if he goes out of his way to harass you about the issue then go the principle.

ClurBur answered Saturday December 18 2004, 9:21 am:
I think you should maybe comment on what he says, because it sounds like ignoring him wont be the answer. If i was you when he makes a comment like that, ask him if he has a problem with you if so what is it. And if he doesnt like it he knows where the door is. Make it a rule of yours to not let anything he says bother you. And in the long run, his words only make you stronger!

You need to tell him this is bothering you. Explain how this is a DISORDER AND HE CAN'T MAKE FUN OF YOU FOR SOMETHING THAT SERTIOUS (sorry hit cap locks). If he keeps making fun of you go to the princpal. I hope I hepled!

pinayprodigy answered Saturday December 18 2004, 7:20 am:
Well.... if I were you I'd fake flick him and tell him to suc on that but that's me.Ask him what's his problem and if he says it is about what you did last summer tell him that you're over it.Maybe he'll bug off but there's a chance he'll always stay the same.this kid named Keith in my class hasn't changed since 1st grade.It might work and if it doesn't either go with my plan or get more advice from me.Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!
