how come people say big girls get teased more than skinny girls
This big girl in my school who used to be my friend but she all of a sudden started hating me Wich mainly revolved around my weight because whenever we got into an argument it somehow went to how small or skinny I am (small really doesn't make sense she's a fucking INCH taller than me) and it's ridiculous to end a friendship on that and you should see comments online, I wish I could show you the links but I'm anonymous and I don't wanna be banned but one article said skinny girls aren't people and they starve themselves. All about Dat bass doesn't say all body types are buteafull it says skinny girls are ugly and guys only like girls with big butts. And anaconda is worse. You'd know if it was reverse (ex. Fucking dem fat bitches) world war 3 would be declared. I'm skinny. I'm naturally skinny. Nicki Minaj used to be like me until she got surgery on her ass. I'm not anorexic. I like big macs. I'm not skin and bones or a twig. I would die if I were that thin.

You asking this question as a naturally thin person is like a male questioning the existence of misogyny. Sure, you can find examples of the opposite if you look, but you're really only going to know the truth if you walk a mile in the other person's shoes.
Some people are going to say that skinny people aren't attractive to them. That's within their rights. Some people aren't going to be attracted to people with blonde hair, or people who are tall. What thin people don't tend to experience is full blown daily harassment.
I'm a fat chick. I live fairly healthily. I exercise daily and eat my veggies. Just so you know where I'm coming from.
You like Big Macs. So do I, from time to time. But I bet you've never been shamed out of eating one in public: I have, to the point where I have thrown out my food before. I get constant diet advice, often from people with unhealthier habits than I have. I've been approached by complete strangers to tell me I shouldn't be eating something I'm eating if I dare to eat anything other than a salad in public. People feel the need to constantly tell me how unattractive I am.
It doesn't stop there. Until I started seeing my current doctor, every time I went to see a doctor the problem would be attributed to my weight. My blood sugar is probably better than yours. My cholesterol and blood pressure are actually low. But one look at me, and they'd have all the answers (in their minds). It meant that countless illnesses including a chronic mental health condition went undiagnosed because of my weight... because I don't deserve proper medical care as a fat person.
Nobody assumes you're lazy, smelly, stupid or any of the other qualities that people attribute to fat people. Nobody walks up to you to tell you that you have such a PRETTY FACE, but if only you lost some weight... It's not fun.
In short, to answer your question... it's not so much teasing as it is daily micro-aggressions that build and chisel away at your self worth bit by bit. It does happen.

Bigger girls do get teased more often than skinny girls but that doesn't mean that skinny girls never get teased.
Pretty much everyone will get teased about something. It's sad but true.
Obviously being overweight isn't good because it's unhealthy. And obviously just because someone is skinny doesn't mean they are healthy. They just have a faster metabolism.
Being teased isn't a good thing at all. Whatever is going on with your friend is probably deeper than your weight. She probably just wanted to hate on that to make herself feel better about being bigger than you.
Anyways, everyone gets teased. Some more than others and no matter what it's not ok.

Larger women being teased about being larger is something that has always been a problem and is down mostly to just how society as a whole functions and how you get a cascade effect from it. It's common knowledge that being obese or large can be bad for the health and with this fact being hammered into everyone no matter where you look does it really surprise you that larger people get teased a lot more? The amount of ridicule larger people suffer is pretty bad but that's not to say skinny people do not get it as well because they do. I mean a lot of times I have heard silenced comments about how some girl must be on drugs or is making herself sick to look that skinny. Some people just have a far more active metabolism than some. Some people suffer from the opposite and so no matter how much they try and diet or eat healthy they will find they lose nothing.
Everyone gets teased about something or another nowadays - if it's not about their weight it'll be about one of another million other things but people will always find something or another to ridicule about someone else to make themselves feel better about themselves.
