When was the last time you were ridiculed mercilessly? You are what everyone strives to be, and I'm the fat girl that everyone hopes they don't become. You're treated so bad because you can see a little more bone than someone else. No. You're looked at and admired because you're not fat. Fat in this society is mercilessly hated and looked down upon as if that person is unhappy, stupid, and rude before the person ever even knows "fattie"'s name. It doesn't matter that I'm happy go lucky, kind, intelligent...All that matters is you can't see my bones, and I have a little more cushion to me than what is desireable. People look at skinny people and go "Wow...she's pretty. I'm sure she really has her shit together. I'm sure she's happy...see how great she looks? She must be really smart." And don't deny that's how it is...because I live in the real world, and I see it every day on television, on this campus (where I might add if you aren't a cute little coed you can't get a job), and even in the head of my roommate. I may sound a little bitter, but if you have been treated like I have my entire life, you'd be a little bitter yourself.
