It's summertime, a time when the people who err more on the side of chubby might be feeling extra insecure about their bodies. We tend to hear the same few things over and over again and we're sick of it. Here are just a few...

1. "Wear shorts for your body type."

This usually means "something that completely covers your thighs" and defeats the point of shorts in the first place. I won't sweat so that you won't be offended by my thighs.

2. "Don't wear crop tops unless you have a flat stomach."

Skinny girls don't have the monopoly on crop tops. For your information, anyone can wear whatever they want, whenever they want to.

3. "You can't wear a two-piece bathing suit."

Why not? I love my high-waisted bikini! I'm sorry you're scared of my stomach and stretch marks, but I'm not!

4. "You should work out to get more of a beach body."

We all already have beach bodies, pal. All I gotta do is get my body to a beach.

5."You're so brave."

I know this is meant to be a compliment. But it never comes off that way. It just makes me more aware that I don't have a "typically pretty" body. I'm not "brave," I'm just wearing shorts.

6. "You should hide your arms."

Why? Again, it's hot. I know I have some arm flab. But I don't care about it, and neither should you.

7. "You can't wear that."

Yes, I can. Period. Chubby girls can wear whatever they want, just like skinny girls can. And nobody has the right to tell them that they can't or shouldn't. This summer, mind your own business and let people wear what makes them feel comfortable.
