sixteen years old, 5'4", 93 lbs; that's me in a nutshell. At first glance, you might think that I'm malnourished or anorexic. Many people - and I mean MANY - have called me anorexic. "You're too skinny," "You should eat more," "You're freaking anorexic dude." Yeah. I get that a lot. It's not a compliment. I don't choose to be this skinny, it's hereditary. Regardless, there are many people in the world who hear the same things. Do you know why they're that skinny? What if they can't afford to eat as much? What if it's just genetics? What if they're medically anorexic? Calling someone anorexic is just as bad as calling someone obese. Girls who are very skinny may not even want to be skinny. Believe it or not, some would rather get some meat in their bones. Anorexia is a PROBLEM that should not be acknowledged by insults. Numerous people are suffering from it and it can potentially be life threatening. So please, choose your words wisely. Think about it.
