I just feel really down and my aunt is so rude to me and I never defend myself and I'm just feeling down.

She calls me and my siblings fat when we're a size zero and the skiniest ones in my class and she makes fun of our clothes when we're one of the mos stylish girls in school!

You and your siblings are obviously not fat if youre a size zero. even if you were a size 5 your still not fat! shes probably just mad because she never looked as good as you girls do now. about the clothes, who cares what she thinks its your clothes, your style. obviously you and your aunt arent going to like the same thing, she still shouldnt say anything to you guys though. shes your aunt and thats mean. you should tell your parents about it so they can talk to her and tell your aunt that she is hurting you and your siblings. when youre around family you should feel comfortable, not always being put down!
you could say to her, "can i see a picture of you when you were my age so i can see what you looked like." "well i like the way i look" "i love the outfits i wear, so it doesnt matter if you dont like them" just remember dont be rude to her because even though shes very rude to you, you should still not be too mean to her. just say what you feel and tell her to stop putting you down all the time.
rubytuesday answered Monday September 3 2007, 11:32 am: Your aunt is verbally abusive. It's no wonder you feel down with all that negativity around you. Are you living with her? Is there any way to stay away from her? Are your parents around? You didn't state what the situation was, but you need to try to spend as little time with her as possible. And I would suggest talking to a school counselor to see what you can do to get out of this situation. It is not a healthy situation to be in. And another thing, don't believe anything she says- I know that's hard to do, but try to understand that people that do that are sick. And they can make you sick to if you swallow their poision. Don't take it, every time she says something like that, tell yourself the exact opposite. And please, try to stay away from her. [ rubytuesday's advice column | Ask rubytuesday A Question ]
hollister_lover09 answered Monday September 3 2007, 11:27 am: Sounds to be she is just mad bc she never looked as good as you girls do. Shes also mad bc you have a goos taste in cloths!!. You dont need to stand up to her.. (if you only live with her she could kick you out) But if you don't then you need to tell a parent what she is saying to you girls. And if she keeps it up, then just say, and what did YOU look like when you were my age? something smart like that, but yet not sstriaght out mean. Sorry and I hope everything gets better!<3 [ hollister_lover09's advice column | Ask hollister_lover09 A Question ]
