I find it offensive when people actually make fun of others because of their weight, I find that completely unneccessary.

It's so easy for thinner people to make fun of people who do have fat on them because they're happier with their bodies and in todays society, if you're overweight for your age you're seen as fat and it's normal to be 20 and be 7 stone.

I am fat, but I've never been bullied for it and I'm so grateful for it because I'm insecure as it is, never mind if I got taunted for it. People have obviously said things behind my back but I'm lucky enough not to have had it said to my face.

I don't blame my parents at all though, it's got nothing to do with them!
I think I have a problem with my gland though so, that might be part of my problem.

A lot of people don't have to work hard to be thin and a lot of them think they automatically have the right to make fun of someone who is overweight.

Commenting nastily about someone's weight is one of the harshest things you can ever, ever do. No matter how much someone seems to be confident of the way they look, everytime they look in the mirror, they will be reminded of that comment someone made to them and people look in the mirror a lot more often than they realise.
