My life doesn't suck...it just confuses me.

[Carth]

Also known as, Big Rant Part One. In a four part series.

Now, don't get me wrong with this. I'm not anorexic. But I'm confused. Is something wrong with the girls in my class? Or is something wrong with me?

I'm 5' 1", and I weigh (unless my scale is broken) 135. I never thought of this as a problem. Until I got into this grade. Then my friends started talking about "how fat and ugly" they were. One girl was claiming that she tries to stay under 100 pounds, then launched into a talk about how 'the cube is growing', talking about her (nonexistent) gut. Another complained because she weighed 90 pounds. Another girl is teased because they say she's 'bulimic' (she is quite skinny), but they generally tease her anyway.

This makes no sense to me.

Now I understand I'm not very athletic. (I bet none of us are. No offense to anyone here that is.) Most of my free time is spent on the computer-maybe 20 hours a week. I'm taller than most of the girls in my class, and half of the girls who complain have not gone through puberty.

Maybe you all are not the best to talk to about this. Maybe you take me as just rambling. Let me tell you this. I do NOT starve myself. I do NOT complain out loud. But I want to know. Are they just being silly? Am I really out there? Have I been disillusioned?

Their is something wrong with thinking the way your friends think.

Ugh, girls like that PISS me off... THey weigh like two pounds then complain that they're the fattest people on the planet... then they see people who are reasonable weight and say they're like hippos. DON'T listen to them and DON'T pay attention to them... You're fine, I assure you. ^^ Those girls who complain who haven't gotten through puberty shouldn't be complaining AT ALL right now... their weight will probably fluctuate, THEN they'll have a reason to complain.

I'm about the same height as you, Carth, but I am le midget compared to the rest of my class xD;; I weigh just a tad less, but that's because I've been playing soccer for like forever and I'm athletic so o_o;;;

Don't let those girls get to you! They're being retarted so you should just like... kick them... or something....

Environment is programmed to destroy people who don't think as they do.. you have 2 solutions:

1) Start complaining about your each 0,00002 pound.
2) Let environment destroy you.

I think you should pick 2 option =)

for your height and age, you are the perfect weight, dont worry, you are perfectly healthy as far as I can tell.

They haven't had puberty yet? Lucky them. Don't worry about your weight; it's not what the world revolves around.

Don't worry about your weight; it's not what the world revolves around.

ironically weight is what the world revolves around (specifically the weight of the sun) but anyways if you don't want to read this post just watch foamy's "fatkins diet" episode ( in addition to just about every other foamy episode, right so, these girls are the result of three things which no one should have
1. low self confidence
2. a reliance upon the media (otherwise known as "The Man") to tell them what is right
3. a need to make up for other things in their life which aren't perfect i.e. bad
due to the fact they they have low self confidence these are also the girls most likely to turn to drugs, alchohol, etc... this being so they should not be allowed to sway you to their way of thinking
