its so rude when people say that skinny people look like skeletons. Alot of people i know are naturally size 0. why do people have to be so horrible? everyone is beautiful as long as they are happy about the way they look

From the viewpoint of an anorexic, RAW emotion erupts in PART 7.

After collapsing backstage, the tables have turned and Richard is now in detox and treatment for an addiction to quaaludes. Karen visits Richard in rehab--for two minutes, she is no longer the "lost child" and "scapegoat" for every single problem in the family.

It's amazing...Karen's voice was the family's ticket to financial freedom. Her parents treated her like "the screwed up kid" right up until she took her last breath.

the description for this movie is ridiculous. Does this person even KNOW the definition of meteoric? Also, Karen Carpenter did not suffer from Bulimia, she suffered from Anorexia.

@DisneyFreak1937 To suggest that skinny women aren't attractive is an attitude every bit as judgemental as the attitudes of people who give others a hard time for being fat. Maybe the time has come for everyone to leave others alone with regard to their size. Its not your place to decide whats attractive and whats not.

@mwrenn30 it depends on the persons height how much underweight they are,35lbs underweight would be very underweight for a person of short height for example. I know your comment is 3 years old,you don,t have to reply if you don,t want to reply.

@DisneyFreak1937 You know, I'm gonna tell you something that I heard from a TV show, and I thought it was a great way to look at weight. There was this girl who was overweight, and someone asked her if she was thinking of dieting, and she said, "who wants to be a skinny pencil? I'd rather be a happy magic marker." I thought that was clever. :)

@shinznay being under size 14 isnt revolting! sorry didnt put it right lol 'isnt'

[shinznay]

@DisneyFreak1937 'if you're overweight it means that you're well looked after? are you for real?! its means your unhealthy and you have a BMI of over 26. being overweight causes health problems hunny. and being under 14 is revolting , why bash people and call them skeletons with a bit of skin? sure if there a zero size 4 n 6 then yeah your on the thin size but so? everyone is different. and im defo no bashing you for being a size 18. u could be a size 20 for all i care but think both sides here

@XXxsineadosxXX - I agree. Saying that anyone looks horrible because of their weight is wrong. When people make fun of overweight people it is considered terrible, but we make fun of thin people all the time. As someone who is 300 pounds, dissing someone because of how fat or thin they are is always wrong.
