Some random kid in my Choir class told me this as I was entering class.

The kid himself was a bit overweight, I usually don't let things get to me but this got to me.

Those who actually know me (not this random junior or senior? Like who are you) know I was very sick and hospitalized, a walking skeleton, and completely missed my second semester of the last year of middle school. I missed the graduation ceremony, the ski park trip, the amusement park trip...

I have had to fight to get past my severe illness, go to treatment hundreds of miles away, gain 20lb and slowly return to myself again. Oh, except for this anxiety disorder and disordered eating that came with it...

I am on the low end of healthy, look thin compared to others but why is that any of your concern? I am not concerned with gaining right now and neither are my doctors, exercising too much messes with my heart and eating a lot of food makes me nauseous. In fact, high-fat foods are specifically not recommended for my condition.

But now I have anxiety because what if rumors are spreading about me, what if they think I'm lying about why I went to the hospital-

Ughhhh. Why do I care? I don't even like Choir class. There's too many older kids and I don't have any friends in there. Think I'm dropping it next semester.

Body shaming in any form is wrong, is about the issues of the person doing the shaming, and should be ignored, just like any kind of bullying.

I'm sorry you were the recipient of someone's inconsiderateness.

This person doesn't deserve your attention. he's either dumb, jealous or very mean. This is just plain insensitive and disgusting.

Sometimes being open and telling them you were hospitalized and that they're being rude, intrusive can disarm people like this. Pretentious people don't want to look like the douches they really are in front of others.

I'm one to put people who do this kind of **** up against the wall. If you're worried at someone's health condition (some people try to justify with this) this is just no way of showing you care.
