It was 30° C this afternoon, I wore a little top. Anyways, this 'big' girl looked at me and said 'Oh my God, you're so thin, like a skeleton' and I was like 'Oh my God, you're so fat, as a ballon'.
![]() My friends say I should apologize. Like hell I am. ![]() People are crazy. Should I apologize? |

Haha that made me laugh.
People don't realize that calling someone a skeleton is harmful. |

![]() I love it. Don't apologize. I hate the double standard that someone can call you skinny as a <insert comparison> but you can't respond likewise. |

Hell no. Honestly, I believe that if you are going to say something stupid to someone, expect them to say it right back. There is no need to apologize to someone who insulted you first.

HAHAHHA, tahts hilarious.
no, i dont think you should say sorry. first off, being skinny like yourself, i dont appreciate it when people tell me im thin. "like a skeleton." it hurts and feels like what theyre trying to say is..,"ARE YOU ANOREXIC?!" second, its her fault shes fat unless its a family thing. |

Haha.
I'm neither skinny nor fat. Just in the middle, so I do both skeleton and balloon or w/e. Personally, I probably wouldn't apologize... but it'd probably be the nice thing to do. |

That is HILARIOUS. I would apologize though. For sure. She'll give you an apology too (hopefully), and you can make up, right?

I found it funny though. Of course i'm usually sarcastic and people take it the wrong way and oh well they should get over it. |

Pfft, whatever. It's true, there can be such a double standard between calling people skinny and fat.

She probably didn't mean it as an insult - it seems like it was said with an envious tone, probably. But a lot of people seem to not realize that saying that someone is a "twig" or in your case, a "skeleton," may be just as hurtful as calling someone fat. If she seems very disconcerted and hurt by your comeback, maybe it would be a good idea to apologize. Then explain how her comment made you feel. =P

OH MY GOD. my friends say that all the time. 'your SO skinny~ its all SKIN and BONES' 'shut up hippo thighs.' HAHAHHAHAH OUCH. "Hippo thighs". ![]() I'd apologize eventually, even if she did mean it in a mean way. Of course, I'm that sort of person, and I have a pretty naggish conscience. It was funny though. ![]() crazy.gif shoulda snapped back with 'in yo face fatso' & run like hell because that bitch aint gonna catch up with you. ![]() |

Why would any reference to extreme body type (skinny --- fat) be taken as a compliment? |

^I know it shouldn't be taken as a compliment. That's why I think it should be explained to her how the comment made Weird addiction feel. Hm, I think the meaning behind her comment may be similar to someone with wavy hair saying "Oh, your hair is so straight!" But yes, comments about someone being skinny and comments about someone being fat usually are not taken as compliments, and it is perfectly understandable for people to take offense to either.

I'm still offended. |

You should pick a fight with her; show her what a skinny girl can do.

Hahaha, I wouldn't worry about her.
I would eventually apologize myself [knowing me], but she shouldn't have called you a "skeleton" in the first place. |
