14 Things You Should Never Say To Skinny Girls

If you're a skinny girl like me, you're probably a veteran in people commenting on your weight. When the wind really picks up one day, someone is bound to tell you, "Hey, better watch out! You might blow away!" Some people are just oddly fascinated with skinny women, and as a skinny woman, it's weird. There is no novelty about my body because it has a more slender build. I'm a person with a thin frame, and that's about as interesting as it gets. Apart from the wind comment, there are plenty of uncomfortable, unnecessary, and downright rude things that people find they must say to skinny girls that just shouldn't be said. Here are some of them:

1. "Do you ever eat anything, like ever?"

No. I am magically able to remain alive by consuming absolutely nothing. This is the dumbest question in the entire world. No duh I eat. Actually, I eat all the time. I love food. My body just digests it differently than other people's does.

2. "I could break you like a toothpick!"

That's an uncomfortable statement. Please don't do that. It would hurt.

3. "You have, like, no boobs."

Really? All the conversation topics in the world and you're going to go with that?

4. "You're skinny. You have nothing to be self-conscious about. Stop complaining about how you look."

Riiight, I forgot only full-figured women are allowed to have body issues. No, do not say this to skinny girls. It's annoying. We have every right to be self-conscious about our bodies, too.

5. "There's no way you're going to eat all that."

Oh yeah? Watch me.

6. "Why are you going to the gym? You don't need to work out."

Because I want to? Also, skinny does not mean healthy. Everyone needs to exercise.

7. "How would you know anything about struggling with your weight? You're skinny."

OK, first of all, you have no idea what my health conditions are like. Secondly, you're rude. Gaining weight can be extremely hard, depending on your body. Don't ask this question. It makes you look like a jerk.

8. Men: "I have bigger boobs than you."

Congratulations! Would you like an award?

9. "You look anorexic."

Why would you ever tell someone this?! Why?! That is a disease, not a description. If you say this to a skinny woman, or any skinny person for that matter, just take your wrongness and go somewhere else and be wrong.

10. "Meat is for men. Bones are for dogs."

Did you just...did you just...what? No. No, no, no. Get out and don't come back. You are Captain Idiot of the Dumb Army, and we are deploying you to the Island of Morons for the rest of your life.

11. "Skinny girls have no problems shopping for clothes."

Bruh, let me tell you about how many shirts and dresses I have wanted to buy and couldn't because my boobs were too small for them. Bracelets? Yeah, you can forget about that because my wrists are too tiny for that mess. Skinny girls have shopping issues, too.

12. "Real women have curves."

Do me a favor and just get out because I don't even want to look at you.

13. "You're eating a salad? No wonder you're skinny. Eat a cheeseburger!"

If I want to eat a salad, I'll do it. If I want to eat a cheeseburger, I'll do it. Don't tell me how to eat my food, son. Bippity boppity back the hell up!

14. "I can see all of your bones."

Thanks for telling me. I had no clue.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
