It's horrible and no one should ever do it. It's just insulting. Yo should also never short shame people cuz as a short person, I'll Spider-Man your a*s into the ground. We get angry very easily and have to park core to get stuff from the top shelves

one of my classmates was reallyyyyy short. a girl was making so much fun of her, and when i say the girl beat her a*s i mean SHE BEAT HER A*S. the girl never made fun of short people again. also, 3 years later the short girl is much taller, the tall girl is more or less considered short now, im guessing she isnt drinking any milk lol!

I have fat shamed people and recently been fat shamed. Karma!?! Either way, it’s not okay. It’s horribly wrong. I am sorry to anyone I did that to because I know how much it demoralizes people as human beings. I won’t get over how I felt when I was fat shamed for a long, long time.

My father and my siblings (due to his example and lack of guidance) called me fat all my childhood. If there was a bridge with a weight limit they would tell me to get out of the car - same with elevators with weight limits. If we saw someone who was morbidly obese, they would point this person out and say that would be me when I grew up. My father would frequently use the expression: “ The table tilts in ___’s direction.”

These comments and predictions stayed with me throughout my life - always giving me a false self image. (I did not realize it, but I had been of average weight during my childhood and adult life. Because the rest of my family was extremely thin I was seen as the ‘fat’ one.) When I, in my later years, DID become obese all I could think about was that I had wasted all those years with a terrible self image. As my daughter was growing up, the word ‘fat’ was never used. I was still in my ‘believing I was fat’ stage, but knowing how it could hurt that word was never part of our family’s vocabulary. For this understanding I am very thankful, as that skinny little daughter is now a very overweight adult - with a healthy self image!
