Honestly, where I live, there is little to no physical bullying. All of it is social and mental. From what I've seen, usually it's towards girls that are skinny and pretty and then they're called sluts and whores because others are jealous of them. Or the skinny people are "bullied" because they complain about how "fat" they are when they fish for compliments. Their confidence gets blown up out of proportion and that's when people start ostracizing them and "bullying" them. Rarely happens to overweight people, in my experience.

[AnnVdB]

Both, but skinny males more so than skinny females often. ( i read this in a study)

However, I was a very skinny girl. I had stick legs and grew very fast. I got bullied for that sometimes by certain people, because I was so skinny. And I have heard the same from other girls.

Fat kids need to get bullied to show that it is not acceptable to be overweight and that they have bad parents for letting them get over weight. Hopefully they will get the message and do something about their weight themselves and be glad they did years later.

[Asker]

"Need to get bullied"? Gosh.. there r other methods to show someone they r wrong... would u like to be bullied?

[tomboy41]

I was the fat girl at school and now im super fit and healthy. Im a size 8. My parents used to feed us a lot of junk food and that was bad parenting. I didn't realise I was fat until the other kids pointed it out so viscously. I dont believe in this PC nonsense of making it acceptable and easy to be fat. Fat people need real motivation not to be fat.

[Asker]

ok i know but u should know as well bullies don't do it coz they wanna point out being fat's unhealthy. bullies do it for other reasons... they wanna feel superior by bullyin someone who's not acceptable by society norms much. like a fat or a nerdish kid... or a black kid if u go to a school for whites

[tomboy41]

Well be that as it may it helped me loose weight, get fitter and eat healthier. It taught me that its not acceptable to be fat.

[Asker]

anyway glad u lost weight and u realised it was unhealthy, but never say someone "needs to get bullied"... NOBODY deserves to be bullied

[tomboy41]

The fatties of the world need and deserve to be bullied because its not acceptable to be fat

[Asker]

if it is as u say... then it'd be punishable by da law... but it isn't

[tomboy41]

Your right it should be

[Asker]

don't wanna disappoint u... but i don't think it'd happen... many people would be offended wether they r think or fat... they'd consider it savage. and after all since u r not fat now i don't see y u should care if someone else's fat
or not

[tomboy41]

Because the fatties are ruining america by breeding generations of fat kids

[Asker]

weren't u a christian if i remember from a previous post of urs? i thought christians didn't approve savage stuff like bullyin...

[tomboy41]

Its ok if you do it the christian spirit of helping. These fatties need help and best way to help is to discourage them from being fat and showing them that its wrong to be fat. Its called tough love and it works.

[Asker]

yeah but bullies don't do it for it as i told u... they do it coz they wanna feel superior...

[tomboy41]

Well I do feel superior when I bully fatties for their own good so it works out well for everyone

[Asker]

Eh i give up... cannot discuss wid a person who's proud of bullyin other people... u've been there after all and u know how it feels... and after all u should 't care bout wot they do wid their bodies.

But anyway if u r trollin... not funny

[madhatters4]

I was a skinny kid... I'm a skinny adult. and I was bullied. mostly by girls who would say I was anorexic and tell me to eat a sandwich. but it wasn't very common and I think it was far less bullying than obese people

[Asker]

"eat a sandwich" would be a tease mostly, not bullyin. by bullyin i mean beatin u up, threatenin, etc

[madhatters4]

I feel like verbal abuse is bullying. at least in my opinion bullying isn't only physical violence. if that is your definition then no I wasn't bullied

[Phoenix98]

Around here I've never seen really any overweight people get bullied heck I see quite a few of them playing basketball and keeping up with skinnier, fitter people, I guess it depends on were you live -shrugs-

[Phoenix98]

Thank you for the MHO.

[lemonlimetime]

That was the same as me. Nowadays though some kids seem to put down the skinnier people (sometimes) usually that's only with girls though. It's kind of stupid, though. Everyone is either fat or skinny, it's like no one can be "average" and people like to put others down just because they're too fat or skinny.

[YusiBear]

When I was at school people weren't bullied solely because of their weight however the term fat was used as an insult by many. But mainly as banter.
However this did not apply to everyone because there were people who were slightly bigger that were well respected amongst their peers.

[YusiBear]

And additionally the smaller, weaker students tended to be bullied more so than the fatter students. In fact I think I remember several fat bullies. Because they were considerably stronger.
It was like a food chain that when as follows:
Sporty/muscular students < Fat/chubby students < skinny/puny students.

Being a fat girl through high school is worse than being a rumored "slut" through high school. I *never* heard the skinny girls get anywhere near the same flack I did and when you have no friends there's a lot of time to listen.

[Asker]

i know... when i was in school i used to be fat and i had no friends. and that's y i regret for not losing weight back then, but lost much later

[Asker]

ah congrats for u-mod by the way... just noticed

[BellePepper]

I don't regret being overweight in highschool. If people weren't going to be friends with me because of my weight that's their problem. Not mine. I do wish is been snappier with the comebacks though XD

Ahhh! Thank you so much!

[XavierC]

Fat kids. Skinny just like being white or male is the side of privilege. Does it mean that skinny kid's don't get bullied? Of course not. Skinny kids do get bullied too, but not as much as fat kids. It's not even close

[KDA20]

I was so lucky I went to a brand new school and I was first year. The kids literally didn't know how to bully and had noone to learn off so bullying was a very small problem in my school thankfully.

[Asker]

wish my school years were better

[Takada]

I'm not sure. When I was in my teens/pre-teens, skinny kids weren't bullied, but the fat kids were. Meanwhile, it seems to have changed a bit. So I don't know.

[LovelyyLaura]

I'd say it's pretty equal. They don't get bullied for the same reasons but I'm sure it's the same amount of bullying

[zombiebabe]

i think both get bullied equally

[Asker]

or if they lack social skills

[zombiebabe]

true

[DarkxAngel20]

It's really immature of people to bully fat kids. Bullying ain't funny at all.

[Hans222]

I would wish none... but I think fat kids will probably be more prone to get bullied :-(

[findingdreamland]

Yeah fat kids are bullied often. I do not know what is people s problem about other people s body? !

[SHMBO2]

If the kid isn't physically strong to defend himself he will be bullied no matter what

[Asker]

it's really shitty isn;t it?

[SHMBO2]

Yeah it really is

[meatballs21]

I was bullied as a skinny kid, but can say with certainty that the fat kids got it worse.

[Xylem]

It's about social skills and physically strength. I have known fat and skinny bullies and vice versa.

[Ashely_Princess]

I think fat kids get bullied more often

[ValeriaStarrBlush]

why not both.

[Iron_Man]

Yeah I do think so
