Do you think it's right that skinny people are allowed to be harassed?

No. The only time someone makes a comment about your body is if they are uncomfortable with their own body, or they are jealous. I've been told I'm too thin, but I am happy with my body. I eat right, and dance alot and I believe this is how I am meant to look. If you don't like it tough. It's my body, not yours!

Clearly, if we're going with the rationale that a woman wearing a miniskirt and tank top was "asking for it".\n\nGlad you asked this, cuz I was getting a little tired of the woman in a bikini question.  No one, regardless of gender, is "begging" to be assaulted, violated and brutalized.\n\nBlessed be!\n)O(

In some societies it is not acceptable, in others it is.\n\nI have no issue with it, and try to relate to people the way they are, and not according to their size, colour or sexual orientation etc.

Same way you treat a skinny person who is mean to you.

provocative or not...everyone should be able to dress how they want to without fear of harm.  its not just girls that might have this fear...punk kids get harassed and threatened alot for how they look from people, goth kids, cross-dressers, etc etc.\nnobody deserves to be harmed for what they wear or how they look, and more power to those that despite any fear they may have dress how they want to.

It's wrong for people to stare... how rude!\n\nYou go right on ahead and love that big girl!\n\n(Texas does have a bit of a weight problem but I have a big problem with people who don't accept others)

It should be illegal to harass and stalk every citizen, and that definitely includes celebrities.\n\nEnough is enough!

I am 54 yo and have been skinny all my life no matter how much I eat.  People used to say things like that to me all the time.  Over time I learned to ignore them.  If you are healthy and feel good just be happy and ignore stupid people.

i think you just need to keep saying so. Some people are just naturally lean. Or maybe you dont have as much of an appetite as others. \nI guess it doesn't matter whether you are skinny or fat they will always find a way to judge you. You just need to tell them where to shove it. Certainly your family should love you for what you are as a person. You are beautiful.

My opinion is:  no.  I really don't like skinny models.  Also, I don't like really obese people.  Neither are healthy and could sustain life if it were not for a really invasive pop culture.  IMHO.  \n\nYou may use my opinion.  And may I add I have a really healthy appearance and I'm able-bodied.

its wrong. whether ur skinny or not, its wrong, because it gives u a bad name and ppl would think ur trying to sell ur body which u might be but things that u dont want to be called u will be. it also gives girls a bad name. u can look sexy w/o showing so much skin. just find clothes that fit good, not tight but not baggy. some dont care wat ppl say but it is a good idea to respect others and they dont want to see that nasty stuff. take it to the room or something leave it out of our sight. that jsut my opinion lol

I understand what you are saying too.  I mean who is it who decides that "skinny" is beautiful.  Some of those stars look absolutely pathetic.  I mean, don't they ever see what they look like, with their stick arms and legs?  It is a very sad reflection on our society when we place that much value on how people look and not on how people treat one another instead.\n\nBelow is a site with info on a country where girls are actually force-fed to get fat so they will be seen as more desirable.  Not that I agree with that, but it just shows that not all the world agrees with "skinny".

Yes very much so. Apparently people are not reasonable enough to handle have this privilege. Sometimes one bad irresponsible person ruins it for all.

No, it's not funny what-so-ever. Who are they to judge who's heavy and not? Saying hurtful rude comments about someone's appearance, personal opinions, or lifestyles are the things that increase anorexia, bulemia, and suicidal attempts. Reading this you may think i'm being hypocritical, and I probably am because I have made fun of all different kinds of people. However, I am not proud of it, I regret it, and I believe that is another serious problem within our communities. Why is it that fat women are hideous and disgusting, but heavy men are perfectly acceptable? Look at these comedians...I don't even consider it a real job. Going to school to learn better ways to tease and make fun of other's.....that's sure something to write home about. The thing is heavy women need to realize that you need to try your absolute hardest to ignore it, and live the life you are in for who you are. Each person in this world gets made fun of whether they know it or not, nobody is perfect. But you are the only one who has control over who you chose to listen to and ignore. I think it takes a lot of determination to lose all of that weight, and personally I think you should lose weight for the longer lasting life, not the appearance. Obviously you're going to feel self concious, but it's your choice whether you want to pretend it doesn't bother you or take action and try and lose the weight. I support so many people in doing that, talk to a doctor for help, join a support group....but don't let other's comments bring you down.

Not all skinny people ask this. I have been skinny my entire life and i have never asked this, even if i felt like i was having a fat day. I know i look good so there's no need to ask. I don't need anyone elses  reassurance to make me feel good about myself.
