Okay, after posting something about eating disorders I thought maybe I could have a section about weight problems and being self concious and things because I've had to deal with a lot of my friends and family getting eating disorders. I must tell you something: Weight is not the only contributor to eating disorders. In fact, a lot of women begin hating their bodies because of another reason. Sorry...I'm rambling...anyway, a section to be able to come and 'vent' your emotions about anything to do with your body. I don't know...

Just an idea. *Shrugs and walks away*

(You can complain about Nicole Richie and stuff like that too...)

My brothers been having issues with his weight lately. Tyler, that is. Jordan's a twig. Which makes him feel so much worse, Travis, Jordan, Mae and I are all really skinny and here's Tyler, who's pretty overweight.

It's not his fault, really, he's really big boned, it comes from his dad, he doesn't have the same dad as Jordan or I. Which is weird, none of us share a dad. Very Happy

We're special, we don't have to share. Anyway, there's this kid at his school, Evan, who makes fun of his weight...he actually came home crying last Friday (the last day of school before Spring break, I was already at Mae's--splee.) because Evan had screamed across the playground: "TYLER'S FAT!" when that didn't work, he tries again: "YOU KNOW, MAN TITTIES AREN'T VERY MANLY. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY TAKE UP THE WHOLE YARD! NO OFFENSE, BUT YOU CAN'T REALLY MISS THEM!" Then he just started screaming "ASSHOLE!" for the sake of it, because Tyler knows enough not to get in a fight so he didn't say anything. Because the God damn teachers there always let the damn popular kids get their way, and I'm so sick of it because it was the same way when I went to school. I was the always the nerdy twig that was too busy writing or playing my Game Boy to care about what the other morons thought...so when the popular kids picked on me, the teachers would just brush it off and say "they wouldn't do that." and it's the same way today. One of these days I'm really gonna teach this Evan kid a lesson.

I can't wait until that day. It's gonna be fun beating on a 14 year old. xD

Oh yeah, did I mention? The school's so small, EVERYONE goes to the same school. EVERYONE.

I dunno, i have some sort of weird thing where i only eat when im really hungry. I used to be overweight, pretty bad actually, now im sorta just normal sized, except my thighs *shudders* I sometimes loose weight because of stress. ( i lost a few kilos last week cuz of that) I sorta just stop eating when i want to loose weight, it works well enough for me. But i dont consider that to be an eating disorder, its just negligence. I treat myself pretty bad because i always loose track of things. I actually have to set my alarm to tell me when to eat because i concentrate so hard on things, and i also forget to make a proper lunch all the time. I buy one if im hungry and i got nothin' though Very Happy

but some people who have disorders, like one girl i knew get it because their bf's convince them that they are fat. IDIOTS!

A lot of people have eating disorders. You dont have to be anorexic or bulemic to have an eating disorder. Some people think vegetarians suffer from an eating disorder. I think SOME of them do, but most of them just don't like killing animals and stuff. Obesity is an eating disorder too, but most people don't look at it that way.

I can't wait until I grow up because then I'm moving to Alaska where your covered in a coat most of the time so that people just look at YOU not your theighs or your waist. I'm not fat, but I don't like the idea of people being considered 'ugly' because they're 10 pounds overweight. I don't like the idea that some women have to eat an apple a day and nothing else in order to be considered normal.

I hate that. Again, moving to alaska.

Not eating because your stressed is an eating disorder. Not a major one, but it is one. Well, it can be major, but not usually.

OH! And for all you people who think every American is fat and loves McDonalds, go look up what country has the highest percentage of (losing weight) eating disorders.

America and Australia are the fattest nations in the world, regardless of the people with underweight eating disorders.

now excuse me, i need a bath.

Aussie's eat the most ice cream.

I dunno what that has to do with anything, just wanted to point it out.

And I've always loved Alaska. I'd probably die in three days, because their diet consists of a lot of blubber and meat and I'd just barf thinking about eating a walrus. I mean...who could eat a walrus? WHO? Actually, if you wanna hunt a walrus now, it has to be in Alaska (because that's what they've lived off of for generations) and they have to do it with their traditional weapons. Like bone point spears.

I like it in Vermont. Yes, Vermont is good. Our main export is cheese and maple syrup. I think. Maybe that's Canada. Or maybe it's both.

Yeah, we're a fat NATION, I don't deny that, but not every person here is fat. America is also the nation with the most anorexia/bulemia eating disorders.

Something to do with the number aswell I suppose, of course you're going to have more fat people and more people with eating disorders if you have more people to begin with.

God, why does everyone think that Americans are fat, that get's on my nerves. Or that all British people speak posh.

We don't!

Believe me, we reaaallly don't.

As for eating disorders, I suffered from Anorexia, nearly 2 years back. I'm still slightly thinner than average, but that's just my natural shape I think. I'm not like rib-juttingly thin though.

I think it all just stemmed from me being a tubby toddler, with a bit of access baby fat, and when I went to pre-school one of the kids there used to call me tub-tubs. Which got to me a little. So for the first few years I was overweight, then I began to slowly decrease, to a healthy size. Then I still kept going untill I was disgustingly thin. It was horrible, not only was I horrifyingly slim, but my skin looked unhealthy and my hair got thinner. It was horrible.

As for Tyler, Hawkins, tell him that I think he's lovely just the way he is =] *has never met Hawkins or tyler . . * and make sure he knows that he doesn't have to be thin to make anyone like him.

That guy Evan, make Tyler tell him that he knows a hard-ass girl in britain that'll come over to Vermont and smash him up if he says anything to him again Very Happy

hehe.

Yeah, there's all this 'stop-bullying' campaigns and charities, but teachers are sh*t with it. Mad

They don't help anyone, they just do what they can to please the parents, by putting on a smile and saying 'everythings getting sorted' My brother is really strong for his age. He's only 9 and he's nearly 5ft 4, big lad. And he's got muscels bigger than mine.

Anyway, this annoying little twig-of-a-child, used to hit my brother David. Every day, annoying little smacks. He told the teachers, my mum. Everything, but it carried on.
So one day, by brother turns around and wollops this little kid back. And my brother gets an after school detention and banging-eraser sessions. The teacher concluding ' David is twice the size of him"

Justice? I think not!

Hey, that happened to me!

Every day in the morning, I would go and sit at my desk. And just write. Then, this annoyance of a girl just shows up and decides she wants my seat. The seat with the little piece of masking tape on the back that says HAWKINS. (yeah, they still do that even in sixth grade there.) So I pushed her out. And she kept coming back. Every day. She knew I was socially inept, and she was just waiting for me to snap...finally, I did, and I bit her. It wasn't even a bite, it was a nip. And I didn't even bite HER, I bit her sweater. Then she screams, "HAWKINS JUST BIT ME! OH MY GOD!" so I got sent to the principals office, and the principal called my ma and she came, and the principal goes, "he's lucky that the skin wasn't broken. Then I'd have to call the police." and I says, "THE SKIN WASN'T BROKEN? I DIDN'T EVEN REACH HER DAMN SKIN!" and then Mae tries to explain that the girl should be punished, and the principal says, "no, I'm not punishing a victim of an attack, Hawkins needs to learn more self control--" and I says, "SHE NEEDS TO LEARN ABOUT PERSONAL SPACE! WE LEARNED THAT IT PRE SCHOOL!"

In the end, nothing happened, 'cept I was out of school for two days. I wrote the principal a letter. I didn't know I knew so many words. xD

Ye, teachers suck.

This one teacher called Mr Redmond *shudders* looked at a baby picture of me when I was chubby and said "*chuckling*Oh, you've slimmed down since then"
So I was like " Excuse me?" Evil or Very Mad

And then he was said,
"Oh, I didn't mean it like that, you havn't slimmed down THAT much." Tryiing to make things better, but just digging a big hole.

Mr Redmond is stupid! And he has a scar on his face.
Don't Worry! I didn't put it there, but i don't blame the person that did . . . Twisted Evil

One of my teachers had a scar on his ankle. I actually put it there. I bit him. Then instinctively he kicked me in the face.

I was hanging onto his leg, because he had told me I failed a test. He kept saying "I'M NOT LETTING YOU REDO IT!" so I bit him and he goes "AH!" and kicks me in the face. He gave me a black eye. I didn't want to get anyone in trouble, so I told Mae I walked into a tree. She was like, "again?!" and I said, "yeah, aga--wait, what?"
