Being a skinny girl puts you in a category.
You're the girl everyone wants to be.
People tell you you are lucky that you don't have to worry about your weight. That you will always be skinny.
Being a skinny girl people often tell you to eat more to put meat on your bones.
They to tell you to eat more like you can help that you can't reach over 115 lbs.
Like you can help that you can't be the girls that guys seem want.
The girls with big butts and big chests. The girls you see everywhere you turn.
Being a skinny girl makes people look at you like you have some sort of disease. People tell you that you look anorexic with all your sharp edges and boney bones like it is a fashion statement.
They tell you because you are skinny you're not up to par.
Being a skinny girl is and isn't a choice. I do not like being the girl that everyone tells to eat more. I do not like being told that I'll be skinny forever. I don't like being told that I can be better if I added weight here and there.
Being skinny is a disease that I was born with and is something I live with everyday. I will not tell someone that they have to be skinny because I don't like being skinny myself.
I don't like worrying about my weight and hoping to gain just one more pound. Just one more ounce.
Being a skinny girl is beauty and beauty is pain.
If this is beauty, than I'd rather be ugly because being beautiful is not worth the struggle of going to stores and not fitting clothing because they don't have an extra small and when they do they want 300 dollars for a garment that will perpetuate the torture of a girl who would love to switch bodies with me.
She will starve herself to look like me but I will eat so much it will make me sick to look like her.
I'm tired of being told that being skinny isn't a problem and that I'm fine when in fact I am struggling to be society's it girl.
I am struggling to gain weight so I can fit in with the popular girls. If you are too big you're not pretty and if you're not skinny you're not pretty.
Being a skinny girl gives you the advantage of squeezing into small areas.
It also means that your always in the middle in cars, roller coasters, and beds.
It means that you can't do anything because people are afraid the you are going to break, because when you're skinny, your bones are obviously made out of brittle sticks and the slightest bump or bend could mean that your body will collapse into little pieces.
But after all the torture, I love my angles and my boney arms. I love my small chest and waist. Because after being a skinny girl, I am me. I love me. But I don't love the word skinny. Because being a skinny girl reminds me of pain. So instead of skinny, I'd rather be me.
