why?, have you?, pressured to be thin/skinny. Options

Why do make fun of people who are over weight?
Why are people pressured?

What I've noticed is that people who are overweight tend to be an outcast or do not have many friend, or just don't plain fit in. Also many other people make fun of people for being overweight. I've herd many people say that "fat" people are ugly, but that's not true. I know a lot of overweight people who are very beautiful. Anyways to make a point, why would someone make fun of someone for being overweight? It just means their a different shape and built differently.

To get to a point, once someone is pressured on something they want to fix it, whether its the size of your breast, the shape of your nose, or even the color of your hair! But when it comes to weight, it can get very dangerous. So here's my story...

When me and my best friend (ariana)were younger, this girl made fun of ariana because she was overweight. Later as ariana got older she started to become obsessed with how she looked, and thought she didn't look right. So she stopped eating. That ended her up in the hospital. After she finally came home two weeks later, she came to visit me at my house and she wasn't the same person as before. She seemed depressed, sad, and very anxious. Finally I got her to open up to me for why she had these feelings. She told me she was pressured to be thin because of that girl who made fun of her. She said that she didn't like the way she looked and how wanted to look perfect but we all know perfection wasn't isn't an option.

You may wonder, if someone is made fun of for being overweight why don't they lose weight
with something healthier then starving themselves? Well I learned from ariana, its hard to open up to people and they want to fix things themselves.

From what I've also herd the media influences many people to believe that you need to look thin/skinny to look good, or be attractive. But its not only the media, Some chain clothing stores like Abercrombie & Fitch (forgive me if i spelled that wrong) only make clothes sizes for smaller people. I know this one girl at my school who is super overweight and she can't fit it to any clothes at aeropostal, hollister, forever 21, and abercrombie & fitch but she likes the style and she doesn't think its quite fair.

which my conclusion comes to my questions to you.
• Do you ever feel pressured to be thin/thinner?
• Have you made fun of someone for being overweight?
• Why would you make fun of someone for being overweight?
• If you found out you making fun of someone, made someone do something like what my friend ariana did, would you like to go back in the past and erase what you have said?

hopefully for those who do make fun of people for being overweight, after this you've rethought about it.
