Skinny Shaming

Uuuggghhhhhhh.

My imaginary hat goes off to the first commenter of his book and also my friend shania0987654321
Who commented 'If they fight and the other girl sits on her I'm gonna laugh so hard I won't be able to breathe. '

*********************************************************************************

I went on with my normal day, but instead of just taking the questions and statements I got, I had some of my own comebacks up my sleeve.

"Why don't you eat more?"

"Why don't you eat less?"

"There was no need to say that, I was just asking, you don't have to make me feel bad about myself."

"Oh I'm sorry, did you just experience what people put me through everyday."

"No you should be happy, you don't have to worry about eating something and getting fat."

"You're right, I don't have to worry about that, I have to worry about people like you telling me to eat more."

You know stuff like that.People called me names and said I was being mean, but honestly, it's a lot better then being called skinny.Soon some of my friends and I were talking at lunch. It was nice,until they brought up me being "mean".I mean yeah I see that I'm kind of being mean but hey, you reap what you sow.If people want to treat me badly because of my size, well then I can't stop karma from coming back to bite them.

"Rachel, a lot of people have ever been telling us that you've been being mean when they say something about your size.I think that you should stop being so mean."

"Listen, I get that I'm being mean but I have my reason for it."

"And what might that reason be Rachel. You'd better make sure it's valid."

Em was starting to really get on my nerves.I mean, isn't your friend supposed to support you.I needed as much support as I could get if I was gonna stand up for myself like this.

You get what you give, if peo-"

"Rachel you do realize that statement can go both ways,right?"

"You didn't let me finish Emily."

I think she got the message that I was annoyed.I never call her by her actual name.We agreed on the name Em when we first met, so I only use Emily when I'm mad.

"Then continue."

"I will.If people don't want me to say something back when they call me skinny then they shouldn't of insulted me in the first place.And should my statements come back for me one day,I will be ready and prepared for what should come."

"Ok....as long as your prepared.Anyways what color should I dye my hair now, I think the pastel blue is a bit too wintery now hat we are in spring"

Em likes to dye her hair alot...Every season is a new color.She likes to express herself with her hair.If it's winter, she'll go for pastels.If it's spring, she'll go for light pinks,greens of lavender colors.If it's summer, the neon sign come out, and when fall rolls in, it's red,gold,or oranges. Her natural hair color is blonde, she has these really vivid green eyes, which go really well with her personality if I may add she also has a few freckles here and there.

"Lavender for sure."

"I did that last spring. Lavender is old news."

"I like it." I shrugged as I took a bite of he sandwhich that my mom made for me..very good. This is one of the few good things that she's made before.And considering her record, that's an accomplishment for her.

Soon my other friends do arrived, and the day went pretty well after that.

Hello guys!! This chapter took some work to think of....even if it's not that much but still.

Now before any of you say anything about Rachel's offensive comments in the begining. They were supposed to be offensive. I was not discriminating or trying to hurt anyone in any shape or form. So please do not start hating on me because this book is based off of Rachel defending herself and any other skinny people. I have begun to write this book to be a voice for people like me. Skinny people should be supported just as much as heavy-set people.So please don't hate me.

Bbbyyyeeeee
