People sometimes say it’s not much. Often people without a million to their name.

Growing up at school being fat was considered the worst thing you could be besides being gay or Jewish or poor or a nerd or whatever.

And I've always wondered why... why do people always gotta make fun of the fat kid?

Being fat is not this big shameful thing. All it means is being overweight for various different reasons (depending on the individual person), the same way one might have reasons for being underweight. Some of it may be medical or genetic and not the person's fault!

The fat kid always seems to be the punchline of every single joke.

I myself was never really truly a fat kid but I still don't get why people gotta make fun of the fat kid. It always seemed unnecessarily cruel to me. Besides, shaming a fat kid or calling them a stupid fat kid or whatever is not gonna help them lose weight any faster.

I am referring to the decade 2000-2009. Most of my school-age years were during this time. I would have to say my most favorite childhood year was 2004.

I believe the early-to-mid 2000s were the best, just prior to the Obama era. Most of this PC and SJW bullshit wasn't running rampant, and I feel there was order overall and everything held together fairly well. The divisiveness wasn't as apparent, but then again, I was an innocent child.

2004 was the year of the first SpongeBob Movie (before the show went to shit), mainstream pop and alternative was good, and I was rocking that GameCube, enjoying my Zelda Windwaker and Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of the Cortex. The town I grew up was a good, upper-middle-class family suburban town. It wasn't too crowded or crazy. The megachurch I went to had a good summer Vacation Bible School Program with state of the art performing arts with a Lord of the Rings theme. I had an awesome babysitter and we used to act goofy and make noises. Everything was still affordable and I didn't remember any money troubles. Kids still played outside and rode bikes and went trick-or-treating during Halloween. Christmas was still magical.

There are most certainly good things I have now that I wouldn't trade. Still, I reminisce about the good old days.

If at 37 a man is worth a 3 million dollars is that very wealthy at that age?

Here are peoples comments about Blue’s outfit here on the night of the premiere:

In my opinion, she looks beautiful and her dress is cute. It’d be different if I like say she had a dress on with her leg out that was very sexy or something like that but the dress is actually fit and cute for her. She looks very pretty with her dress for her age at 12 year old.

To me, she look like she can pass for a 16-17 year old.
