rants and other shit

skinny shaming

though i have never been overweight, i do know exactly what it is like to be judged for my size and hear unkind comments about what i look like.

for my age, i am "super" skinny. im 15 and i weight 89 pounds or lbs or whatever the fuck. since 5th grade, i was always the girl that weighed much more less than the other girls, and i got teased for it. A LOT. and it made me feel very self-conscious about how i looked. i even got bullied about it and it got to the point where every goddamn morning i would throw up bc of how nervous and scared i was of going to school.

my teachers, my classmates, even my own friends would talk shit about my weight. i felt horrible and wanted to cry so bad, but i just laughed along with them.

they say only "chubby" and "fat" girls get shit, but let me tell you that is not fucking true.

"you have it easy" "but you're skinny" "do you even eat?" "skinny bitch" "are you anorexic? bulimic?" "why would you even be self-conscious?" "look, she's nothing but skin and bone!" "skeletal" "eat a fucking burger" "you must not eat anything"

yes i do eat, you fucking moron. i fucking love food. im not bulimic or anorexic, it's called goddamn genetics. (my mom is as skinny as me. we literally share clothes. yes. she's that skinny.) and yes, i may be skinny but that doesn't mean i can't feel insecure about my body.

why is skinny-shaming okay, if fat-shaming is not?

skinny shaming is not okay. anyone who thinks its okay to comment on or mock a skinny girl's body needs to recognize his or her own internalized prejudice. skinny shaming is body shaming. its harmful, and its real, and we need to stop it just like we need to stop fat shaming.

sorry but i rly needed to get this off my chest since today someone from my school said something about my weight so yeah !!!
