Obsession With Being Skinny - Comments

This is why I don't like most people because most people have in their heads that it's natural to be skinny. Even my aunt is obessed with being thin and she is already thin by nature.

how amny articles is mibba going to post saying how pretty we are even though we don't think we are....and don't lable me!.....or the whole: what emo realy means crap?

Hey ,it's pretty good
I wish I can write like you...

Honestly, I consider myself overweight (14 years old- 5'1"-130 lbs), and I have tried everything to lose weight; diets, exercise, and disorders. Nothing works.

I agree with you what you said, but, honestly, if you're in high school, it's really hard to deal with this shit. People are constantly telling you you're fat, and your friend might've accidently let it slip that you need to lose a few pounds during an argument/fight. (And even if you [i]know[/i] you're not fat, if someone tells you, you can't help but doubt yourself.) I see people getting bashed for this kind of stuff, but I can't really go up and say, 'Hey, stop it, will you?' because the person getting bashed will probably tell me to poke a stick up my ass, or some other insult of the sort.

'Nuff said. (Either way, I really liked your article, and I'm happy to see people are encourgaging others to not get so obsessed with this situation. If only I had people like you at my school, aha.)

Girls are pretty whether they're skinny or overweight, like I am. I value myself as pretty, just as my friends value their beauty.

I'm naturally very tiny, and people always ask me if I'm anerexic. I thinks it's kinda rude to ask people that..

I agree with what you said but this has been said thousands of times in basically the same words.

I agree this type of things has been done over and over. It's unoriginal

This article was very unoriginal. Its been done thousands of times before, using almost the exact same words.

And to believe this whole "perfect human body" thing started out with the Ancient Greeks. *facepalm*
Great article. =]

i agree with your article, but not with wat society today thinks of skinny ppl, i mean just cause your skinny naturally doesnt mean your all bones and skin!
i for one am very skinny in a healthy way and i have boobs and hips, im jusst not obese with it all in the thighs which is disgusting whether you think beautiful or not.
im just saying.....O.o

This is so true. My best friend has an obsession with being skinny and it is pretty much killing me to see her be so self conscious around everyone. She doesn't talk to boys or anyone really. She wants to lose forty pounds before high school and it scaring me what she might do. I'm afraid I'm kind of a cause of this obsession because one time she asked me if we could trade bodies.(I'm 5'7 & 105 while she is 5'5 & 165). I wish she and other girls would see they are beautiful the way they are. Nice article by the way.

Its very true i'm over weight and currently doing lots to keep it down i'm ecexing everyday eating well and all that and on top of that i have a big bone stucture soeven if i wanted to or tried to be one of those skiny little twigs you see walkig around it would be immposible i used to hate myself for it but now i happy heathly and losin weight,
love this article thanks for the good read :D

I have an obsession with being skinny. :]

Old news.

I think anyone can look beautiful no matter how big they are

Weight follows fashion. :file: And how much the country you're in has. So countries like Australia, America and England that are abundant with food, money etc will thrive on being thin. But if we didn't have that everyone would more than likely thrive on having curves etc.

Women and men who aren't ultra skinny but are still fabulous aren't in the news enough. Jeesh.

You ought to have mentioned some of the medical/ psychological disorders related to the subject... Like anorexia nervosa and bulemia nervosa.
