Some people get picked on for not having enough money. Others get picked on for not being 'up-to-date' on the styles. I on the other hand, used to get picked on so bad for my weight. I used to be like sickly skinny when I was younger, than once I lost my sisters, I got alot of weight. It all happened in like six months time, and everybody used to make fun of me for it. I tried to explain myself to them, on why I had put on some weight, but of course they didn't care. They felt the need to everyday comment or put me down about it.
The way I felt back than, was utterly terrible! I thought the picking on me was never going to end. It was like just because I had gained some weight, I wasn't the same person anymore. I got so upset, that I eventually would stop eating at all, I thought if I stopped eating I would drop the weight like nothing! Well I did, but it deffinitely wasn't safe. I ended up getting seriously sick, and lost too much weight at one time. You would think that since they were your friends, they wouldn't care. That friends were supposed to help you, lift you up, not break you down and make you feel like nothing!
Now that I look back, I shouldn't of even worried what they thought. We were all in fourth grade, and just a bunch of little, immature kids. I guess I shouldn't of taken it so much to the heart, and let it hurt my feelings as bad. In all naturality, everyone has a flaw! One person's may be a little overweight, another may be their parents don't have all the money in the world. Just because a person isn't perfect in your eyes, doesn't mean they aren't in someone else's. I learned that you shouldn't be so quick to judge, because you don't know what's going on with the other person! I honestly think them picking on me, made me alot stronger and wiser.
