why do people call skinny girls fake and anorexic?
Question Posted Sunday August 31 2014, 10:11 am
I'm skinny and I don't have anorexia, pr any other eating disorder preventing me for eating, it's just my genetics. I take after my mom's side of the family, wich are small people. So I'm small. I eat a good amount, i eat hamburgers and pizza. I'm a fine weight, I'm 11, I don't really weigh myself but when I went to the eye nose and throat doctor he had to weigh me and I was 62 pounds. It doesn't mean I'm fake. It's gonna be really hard for me at my age to have a fake body. And everyone says that big girls are real, and skinny girls are twigs and pipsqueaks. It's not fair that fat girls who are unhealthy get praised for it and skinny girls who are healthy are shamed for it. Not everybody who isn't overweight is anorexic. And some may be, but you shouldn't make fun of people with eating disorders because it's their own problems they need to fix and they can't help it and they are really sensitive about it so stfu. And it really depends on what your veiws are on a perfect body, in my opinion. Some like big asses, some like abs, others prefer skinny girls.
As for other people and what they say or think? I know this is hard to do but ignore them. They do not know what they are talking about in the first place. They may even be jealous of the fact that you have a slim and fit body. More important than anything else your 11 bout to start into puberty and your body will undergo drastic changes; you will become a woman. With breasts and curves in all the right places.
No one applauds those that are overweight and those that are get teased as much or more than you are being teased and taunted. Being overweight is bad but what is worse is being underweight. Being 10 pounds under weight is far worse than being 10 pounds overweight because of what the body does to itself when it is underweight.
Using 4'5" for your height at 62 pounds according to a weight chart I use, for female children, you are at an ideal weight for someone your age. If you’re shorter or taller this could change a bit though not greatly. If you are concerned I would suggest you speak with your doctor next time you have a chance to visit with the doctor. Until then as I said above just try to ignore the other kids as they do not know what they are talking about. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

My guess is that it's just the age group, young kids, and teens who try to have an opinion of their own but its hardly ever based in fact nor is it tactful so as to not hurt anyones feelings.
My guess is that as they grow up, they will learn to watch what they say better and be kinder and more constructive, but that dear comes with maturity and tho some have minds that may mature a little in their teens, for most of us, the brain isnt fully done maturing until our mid twenties.
So you are going to have to just ignore them for now. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
