Before anyone throws shit at me, I'm actually pretty big boned myself but I'm actually making this one for a friend of mine who went to school with me. She's pretty skinny, but she wasn't a toothpick. But she always got made fun of at school by bigger girls, being called "Skelebitch!" and "anorexic whore!" just because she tried wearing skirts, and outfits that clinged to her tiny figure. After that she would always wear baggy clothing and hid herself because she thought there was something wrong with her because she was constantly reminded of her thinness.
Honestly I think it's pretty hypocritical that it's perfectly fine to bash a skinny girl and judge her by her weight, which it can also be something she can't control, but it's sooo offensive if you tell someone they're fat?
Now for the stamp I used the saying, "Real women have curves!" which is usually a bigger girls way of defending herself or masking her insecurity. I think it's pretty stupid.
Who are you to tell someone that they're not a real woman because of how her body looks? Isn't that what you were trying to discourage in the FIRST place? And yet you're no better! You're just as shallow and stuck up as the ones who laugh at bigger people.
Can't we all just get along? Why can't we just start a movement of acceptance towards ALL body types? Everyone is beautiful thick or thin. We all might have our preferences, but that doesn't give you the right to insult and downsize someones feminism or X chromosomes because she's not as physically developed or, God forbid, she's skinny!
I have a tiny but also mannish figure (small breasts, shoulders much broader than hips etc). And you know what I recently read? That curvy women are more intelligent than the rest!
I agree. Being fat is unhealthy and should not be encouraged muchless supported, but to actually hurt someone's feelings because they're skinny? wtf? Tell your friend I send hugs, okay?
...no thanks to Depo, I'm pudgy now, but I am trying to get back to my old skinny pretty healthy self just, fyi.

That's horrible the way those girls treated your friend, that was really stupid of them to do so....
We need to be promoting positive body image and not telling woman they are no good because they're not tiny, or don't have boobs or hips or etc..
