Skinny Shaming
I am so done with it. The comments like, “You’re so skinny, you should eat some more.” or the names like, “Pancake, rectangle, door, etc.” I eat SO MUCH that it isn’t even FUNNY. I get sick to my stomach from eating so much, but it never does anything. Yes, I am skinny if you haven’t assumed that already. I’ve tried everything you can think of to gain weight, eat fatty foods or foods with a lot of carbs in it, workout to put some muscle on my bones, watch YouTube videos about other ways to gain weight, stuffed myself so much that I’ve almost puked, so on and so forth. I put in so much effort but I NEVER look any different. I don’t think people realize how much it hurts when you call someone skinny. It feels like another knife in your back because you’ve tried so hard to gain weight but no one else sees your effort. No one ever (or atleast at my school) comments on someone if they’re too “fat” or “thick”, it’s only when they’re “too skinny”. It’s not a compliment, please get that through your head. I cry about this so much because I just want to have a beautiful curvy body like all the other girls. No one really ever talks about skinny shaming, and I want to speak up on it. I would feel more than blessed to even have a little fat on my bones. Please, next time you see someone skinny, just say that they look really nice instead of mentioning their weight. Thank you for reading btw :)
