I'm very thin. Naturally. One of my friends call me "skinny mini" I know its a joke. But when people are constantally saying "you need to get some meat on those bones" its annoying. In a way I guess I like it though. Its better then being called fat at least.

I am the same way. I HATE it. I feel like I always have to wear a jacket and jeans because when I wear a normal pants and shorts, people will say "Oh my god, I feel like if I touch your arms they'll break." I mean WHATTHEFUCK? I'm 13 and I weigh 73.8 lbs. It's not fair. I don't eat ALOT but it's not like I eat NOTHING. I feel so insecure and I hate my body. I didn't mind my size till 7th grade, that's when the judging began. Now I wont step foot outside without a jacket. :(

Amen! I'm almost 6 feet tall but only 125 lbs, it runs in the family but I still get people who tease me. One person told me to eat a pound of bacon because I was "too skinny". I like my weight and I don't feel I need to gain or loose weight.

@Ziffelzoovop same here... :/

people don't realize that being called too skinny is like calling someone overweight "you're too fat." i'm 5'8 and weigh 110 pounds... i'm not anorexic, i just had surgery over the summer and lost weight and it was hard to get my apetite back. everybody says i'm "too skinny" and that i need to "eat more". it honestly hurts people like that.. i pretty much cry every night, you know? honestly, i think she looks great.

[OhhCathy]

she may be right but we all honestly wish we looked like her

[Ziffelzoovop]

You know how a lot of girl will cry when they get called fat? I feel like crying when I get called skinny.

Making fun of anyone for their weight is wrong, no matter what size they are, but I'm a naturally thin person and I've noticed that it seems more socially acceptable for people to come up to your face and say something nasty about you if you're thin than if you are a larger person. I know that larger people still get more crap but it is generally seen as mean to say something to a larger person but then it seems more socially acceptable to say something mean to a thin person.

people saying  your are to thin or skinny, just because they are jeaoulos that they can't look like the skinny ones
