Wow, really? You're gonna do that?

So my sister and her friend make ytube videos of themselves reviewing their dolls and whatnot.
Well, one brat decided to comment on my sister's friend to tell her she's fat and needs to "get rid of a few pounds." The best part? The girl in question isn't exactly a stick. Heck, she doesn't even seem like she can breathe properly. =/

So what's the point? Are you really insecure about your girth that you have to go rag on other girls? I love how these are the same people who claim to be "big girls and proud". And no, before you claim I'm being mean, I really couldn't care less if the girl is big or whatever. I'm far from thin myself. The difference is, I worry about my own blubber. Just because I'm a beluga doesn't mean I have to drag other people into my underwater world of angst and cupcakes with me.

tl;dr LOL UR FAT

Yes,actually. Think about the homophobic politicians - more often than not, they are the homosexuals. Yes, people ARE that insecure, in case you haven't figured that out about the world yet.

This is why I try to make more boy friends than girl friends.
And at my new school it seems to be working out great.
Girls are disgusting.
Most of the time their just drama, rude, and just plain dirty.
I mean like, not all girls are like that.
Just a lot of high school ones that can't get over themselves.
Which is half of any high school's population...

metaphor • 15 January 2012 at 11:36 AM

Obviously.😋 haha

How old's the commenter in question? D:<
Cause I might have a few choice words for them worrying about somebody else's weight! I'm a big fat bear that came out of hibernartion a little too early now!!! >:^p


screw being nice, i'mma squash them! >.<

Now after my little mini rant, if your sister's upset remember that it's what's on the inside, not the outside.

@foo oh my gosh, seriously I go around thinking about who to slap first with all the stupid drama XP

dreamer • 15 January 2012 at 11:49 AM

I know a lot of people like that.
Always shallow and easy to judge me, probably for the reason of their own insecurity.
But then there are the people who DON'T judge me.
The girls who don't judge me? They're my friends.
The boys who don't judge me? I like them.
Since a ton of people are so popular or concerned about themselves that all they can do is ignore everyone else who they don't consider pretty.
I'm far from being the smallest person in my grade, but the girls and guys who tease people about it are even less good-looking.
Sometiems I hate myself. But a lot of people like other things about me... My eyes, my figure, my brains, my face. My face would be really nice if it was thinner and wasn't covered in acne. But Im still a person.
Then again, people on Youtube are trolls.
I'll be watching a video that a couple of friends put all their hard work into, and all the people care about are how people look.
There's this guy I like, he's not mean to me, but I don't see him much. I'm only afraid to talk to him because of how I look. But he might be able to relate, because his so-called "friends" talk about him badly behind his back. But he's perfect in my eyes.
I've heard things others say about me. And they aren't nice things.
But I ignore it. Ususally the people who get teased or betrayed are more successful later on in life. 😋

@metaphor


Hahah you amuse me, I love the way you approach life. Its that weird? Oh well. XD


Its the new societal norm for kids/young adults now a days. Your aren't cool unless you can bring someone else down.

rileytibbles • 15 January 2012 at 11:55 AM

I'm a stick, but I cant control it. The weird thing is,skinny people get bullied just as much if not more than larger people. You can't please anyone. EVER.

@metaphor

pegasasu • 15 January 2012 at 11:58 AM

Agreed.

I won't say I'm skinny like a stick, but I try not to think of myself as "fat" or "overweight". Yes, I exercise and I attempt to stay away from my old six pounds of ice cream. I had a "friend" that told me everyday how I had "love handles" (What the heck are those anyways!?), or that I needed to get out more. O.o They're people that feel insecure and need to put down others to build mental stability. I'm not saying I pity them. You don't see me going around troll-o-lol-ing on YT everytime I get down on myself.

balletninja • 15 January 2012 at 12:05 PM

I often find myself hiding imperfections.
I try and give people no reason to make fun of me.
It is awful.
I know it is.
I hold my real self inside, then on the bus coming home from school it bursts out.
A bit too much xD

I am a stick. Pretty much.
But people at my school find ways,
they literally look all over for them to make fun of me.
I have red hair, that is the killer.
You have no idea how many people call me ginger.
It annoys me, because it is not in a loving way.
It is in a hurtful way.

But if I get all defensive about it, and say things like
"Do you feel better about yourself, now that you have made fun of me?"
Then people won't wanna talk to me in fear I may cry or something.

It is awful.
The worst part is you can't stop it.

metaphor • 15 January 2012 at 12:42 PM

Aww, I agree that people always find reasons to bully.☹️
I remember the school I went to one year in 8th grade, from a school where people liked me for who I was and respected me to this place...yeah.
No matter what I did to myself, they still found reasons to pick on me. Even the teacher made little side comments about me to my face.

Yes, I am short. I'm also a little pudgy.
But I wouldn't say that I'm huge even though I am trying to lose weight. I can still see my own feet, I can reach around my body, and climbing up a few flights of stairs doesn't leave me gasping for air, haha.

dreamer • 15 January 2012 at 12:53 PM

@Metaphor Everywhere you go, people are going to do this stuff. There's no getting away from it.
I mean, because of the way I've been treated in the past, I always put myself under pressure to do my best hoping that maybe people will like it.
But I get stressed out a lot too, because I beat myself up. And since I'm used to the stress, soemtimes I act like that at school. And then you have the nosy counselors that try to help you when in reality they just make you feel even worse about yourself becuase you'll hate yourself for talking to them or other kids will taunt you about it.
There's really no escaping judgemental people. I just hope people will grow up in the near future and start acting more mature.
I mean I'll be honest with you, I stress out. I'm afraid of a lot of things. And I cry a lot. I'm mentally weak. And I'm far from being thin. But if you judge me by the insides, I'm not perfect, but I know I'm very well worth your time. If only more people knew that.
I do have a little hope though. I guess peope like asking me questions, and I can hold up a conversation pretty well as long as we have something to talk about. Last year this boy I like told me I was nice.
But I mean I don't know... None of that matters to people anymore...

phoenizis • 15 January 2012 at 1:04 PM

Yeah. I agree. Ranting on other people and telling them that they're fat or too skinny or ugly doesn't make you pretty. Who told them that?

dreamer • 15 January 2012 at 1:14 PM

I remember looking around on youtube and I found this one girl... Anyone heard of katie12231? She's on a different account now because her old one got hacked or something. But she posted videos of herself singing, they got a couple million views, but people made jokes about her. She was really heavy, and everyone would be all like "A wild Snorlax appears!" and they'd be talking about her weight. I'm not a person to judge for that, however I'm not 100% sticking up for her either... I'm pretty sure at least one of you guys has to have heard of her... I felt bad though. The society is so shallow nowadays... When I was younger I was even heavier for my age than now, (if anything I'm controlling my health a lot better today) but no one teased me about it. I just went around living my life, doing my own thing. The pressure is a lot different now; But what would I know about the past? I'm only 12. :/

unebra • 15 January 2012 at 1:17 PM

most girls r like that it is human nature i mean they r insecure about themselves and what not so they take it out on other people

briseis • 15 January 2012 at 3:10 PM

I used to care what people think, but now I just think internally to myself how much worse off they are than me in terms of looks. Maybe that's a cynical, rude way to comfort myself, but it's helpful. They think I'm fat? At least I have curves. They think my face is unattractive? At least I don't have to glob on makeup to make myself look "presentable". They think my hair's too thin? At least it's not so thick that I have to straighten it for an hour before I go to school.

I never think this about people who are nice, friendly or polite. It's always with girls who talk to me and look at me as if I'm lower than them. I love the look on their faces when they realize I'm not bothered at all with what they say. It takes away their power when it doesn't affect you, because they rely on your negative response to make themselves feel higher than you.

gvantsa • 15 January 2012 at 3:14 PM

Youtube is full of very rude people. Even on my vids I get some really rude offensive comments from people (which I delete of course XD) Some people's only joy in life is mocking or hurting others. Easier to do online with the anonymity (think that's how it's spelled LOL). For young people i would recommend getting comments turned off their videos.

metaphor • 15 January 2012 at 4:35 PM

@briseis

That's the spirit!

@gvantsa

Yeah, I suppose I was expecting waaay too much out of ytube. These are the same people who can't hold an intelligent debate for crap. xD

lennyangel • 15 January 2012 at 4:53 PM

Well, the internet provides a medium in which people can say horrible things without having to see the reaction. Therefore some of these things that would not be said in a physical arena are said on Youtube or forums. There is actually a mental trigger in humans that, when we see another human, we are more likely to empathise with them. This is of course not a fail safe, as so many of the above comments prove. People still manage to be horrible. It's a skill.

All I can say is I agree with those of you who say not to bother with those people, and to focus your attention on those who care. And to say don't lose hope, there are a lot of horrid things in the world, but there are also a lot of wonderful things.

Oh, and I don't like the terms stick or fat, because they are generally overused and incorrect. Unless your bones are sticking out at random angles, I don't think you're a stick. And unless you can barely stand up or, to reference @metaphor, can't see your feet, I don't think you are fat. And no one is ugly on face value. It's pretty common knowledge that if someone is "pretty" yet mean, they are dang ugly. And if some one is "average" and nice, they are so beautiful. I bet ya'll beautiful people, inside and out 😃
