Ok, so I need to say this.
Lately I have been just looking at the comments on photos of people who happen to be skinny and I can't stand reading them. Instead of supporting the girls in these pictures for being perfectly healthy (Skinny can be totally healthy) People, instead, make comments like:
"real women have curves"
"she probably has an eating disorder"
"that's not natural"
"no one should be that skinny"
Why not? Why do people have to put others down to make themselves feel better? I can guarantee you that there are loads of people who appear skinny, but are perfectly healthy. Just because they are smaller than average doesn't make them any less of a person on the inside. Some people don't understand this, but calling someone too skinny, or claiming they have an eating disorder is bad for two main reasons. 1) That is just as bad as pointing out that someone is overweight, and too that can be harmful to those who really do struggle with eating disorders. For example, I have been naturally skinny all of my life. Not to say that is good or anything. People always make comments about my weight, and believe me, it is really frustrating. I never make comments about other people's weight. Now don't taking this the wrong way and say that I have never experienced the other end of this situation. The point I am trying to make is that putting down someone for their weight, no matter what it is, can be offensive. I just want to say that there are people who are thin and healthy and there is no need to be hurtful.
Thank you for your time.
