Be yourself Quote by Leah
“Im sure most people have seen the quote 'never call a girl fat' I think it should be 'Never call anyone fat' or 'Never call a boy or girl fat'. Im a girl , I've been called fat once or twice before and yes it does lower self esteem, confidence and make people self conscious about the way they look especially if you get called fat by people you know very well or even love. I've heard many people say girls take it differently. Everyone must take it in a certain way. Many people think of it as a insult and others seem upon it like an adjective. Dont call people fat in genial? Its bullying and bullying is never cool. Never. If you have ever called someone fat and feel bad about it and dont know what to say. Call them beautiful because they are. Say how you never meant to say it. Make sure they know you made a mistake. Calling someone fat doesn't make you Skinner. If you have ever been called fat or get called fat a lot just say 'I'm fat because I've got so much awesomeness'”
