The saddest thing in Your life... -

Oddfan · #61 07-09-2004, 09:20 AM

Smell · #62 07-09-2004, 09:25 AM

For your age that is fine,I worked that out at about 7 st. is that right?

Oddfan · #63 07-09-2004, 09:28 AM

at one time I was 95 but they made me eat for a couple days

Sekto Springs · #64 07-09-2004, 09:29 AM

I'm a skinny little shit and need to put on some meat. Muscle or fat, I don't care, I just wish I could go to the store without people looking at me and waiting for me to fall through a crack or sway in the wind. I eat shitloads of candy, suckies, chocolate, coffees, and I never order the low-carb bagel but still I appear as skinny as ever! And I don't know how I got this skinny either, when I was eleven I was pretty huffy (not quite fat but beefy) bot now it seems it just vanished. I hate being 98 pounds and 5.9 high.

ur lucky sligslinger

Smell · #66 07-09-2004, 09:34 AM

People think that I'm like a stick also though I don't think I will be much longer, I'm going on holiday soon so I'll be away from the Forums for a week. Boo Hoo.

Shinjara · #67 07-09-2004, 09:51 AM

I'm sorry to hear about your problems, Oddfan. (I can relate to the self-injury, I've been there)

You skinny folk who don't gain any weight after eating loads are so lucky. I weigh about 154pounds (which is 11 stone). Although, I get comments that I don't look like I weigh that much so I'm happy.

I guess. It's like my own super power that I can eat a can of crisco and 3 pieces of cheesecake and gain only half a pound, and later burn it off by walking to the bookstore. And perhaps the biggest mystery is HOW, I have a low metabolism!

Spooky.

Hobo · #69 07-09-2004, 09:57 AM

Yeah I'm a skinny bastard too. Dangerously underweight. I figure that's what causes my depressions and stuff.

Or it could just be i'm a miserable fuck.

I'm a miserable fuck too, and the first thing I go for is food when I'm miserable. I gain little weight and lose it soon after. I've also tried muscle building but I'm afraid my arms will snap like twigs.

I dunno, I got depressed cause of my excessive weight. But then again, I was a miserable bitch the majority of the time back then. Always had low self esteem, mind.

Rex Tirano · #72 07-10-2004, 07:47 AM

I'm very skinny as well. I'm only just 7 stone, I have no idea how many pounds that is. But I'm quite small so I look pretty normal. Sometimes I can still look in the mirror and see how fat I am but I try to just forget about it.

Can I turn into you? Please?

And I know this is quite late, but well done Oddguy. Great advice ^_^ *Gives him a brownie badge*

Cyber-Slig · #73 07-10-2004, 08:42 AM

Im with the people who dont want to tell others about theyre saddest part.Ill admit there is no point in posting but its better you know they have a secret than ''Oh yeah my saddest part was my little wabbit died and I was only 4 boohoo''.Yet you should try to post something.And about that fat thing some of you are taking about.Eat full XL packs of dorritos and drink full XL bottles of juice.Youll be fat in no time!

WiLL the Wander · #74 07-10-2004, 09:11 AM

Well, I post it later, but anyone wants to know more, I write a whole book, or sg...

Being me sucks. Yeah, it's got it's purks, but there are more downs than ups.

Silversnow · #76 07-10-2004, 03:11 PM

How can you complain about being skinny? Don't you realize how lucky you are? Be happy you're not fat.

Big_Bro_Slig222 · #77 07-10-2004, 03:26 PM

I'm 165 pounds of pure...muscle...and fat....and...other stuff in there.

Heh. I'll complain all I want, you have to understand that in my world, everything sucks, and even necessities have problems.

TheRaisin · #80 07-10-2004, 06:22 PM

Oh let us not turn this into a whining thread. And I know I'm whining here, but seriously, I think you people are getting away from the point of this. You people are complaining about being too skinny? Or being too fat? Craziness. I know I sound like a jerk here, and I realize that for a lot of people being underweight/overweight is accompanied by a lot of more serious psychological problems, but most of the comments in the last page or so are simply vain. So. Yep. That's what I wanted to say. That being said, I've gotta be quite a few pounds overweight, but I don't complain about it. Err at least I try not to. I try to look at it as a reason to motivate myself, rather than a reason to get depressed or whiney.

By the by... what in the hell is a stone? Is that like a nickname for a kilo or something?

Sekto Springs · #81 07-10-2004, 06:33 PM

I wasn't whining, I have every right to be unhappy about everything, because everything is flawed including my weight. Whiney I may occasionally be but it doesn't mean I don't have a reason. And what was completley vain? Most of what I said as well as the others didn't have a hint of vanity that I detected, actually, it was quite the opposite. Please point out what's vain.

TheRaisin · #82 07-10-2004, 06:59 PM

Nothing in particular, it's just that most of the recent posts have been along the lines of "I'm too skinny" or "I'm too fat". Too skinny are the kids in Africa who die of malnutrition. Too fat are the Americans you see on TV who weigh 300 pounds or more and for whom it's an ordeal to move around and who die of heart disease in their middle years. I am, in general, against complaining about minor inconveniences when there are people with problems that are life-threatening.

They're complaining but it's not as if they think they're better, I don't think you understand the meaning of vain. Complaining about your looks isn't vain, claiming that your looks are better is. And though it may seem vain in that farfetched sense, it's really not, besides noone here said they were 'too' fat or 'too' skinny, they're simply implying that they would rather not be so.

TheRaisin · #84 07-10-2004, 07:19 PM

Ehhhh okay. Still, I think we are moving away from the point of the thread.

Sekto Springs · #85 07-10-2004, 07:21 PM

So what, atleast it's a reasonable discussion and not a shitload of spam.

***Cloverfield*** · #86 07-11-2004, 04:42 AM

Unfortunately I am overweight. I used to complain about my weight, but now I just live with it. I've tried diet, excercise [although I could do with more, finding time is a problem for me] and nothing works. I've come to the conclusion that some people are naturally underweight and others are naturally overweight. I look at my family history and on my dad's side the family is more on the skinny side, but on my mum's side my family is on the overweight side. Out of the three siblings, two of us took after my mum, one of us took after my dad. We all ate the same food growing up, all had around the same amount of excersice, etc. Until I hit puberty I used to be really skinny also. So the only thing I can put it down to is hereditary.

You have a valid point there Raisin. But the thing is, try saying that to the little shit who calls you fat when you are down the street or the teen who thinks if a girl doesn't have a hot body, she's fat. Same with those who are under-weight. They get called anorexic or get told they need to eat something once in a while. If everyone understood like you do, then people wouldn't have complexity problems about their weight. To many a "fat" person is someone who is like 300 pounds and lives on burgers and fries all the time. But other people think that if you are just a little bit overweight then you are "fat". I had that very problem on this very forum one time, when a past member [banned now] got in my face and insulted me after myself and Pilot posted pictures during the OddTour a few years ago. It's for that very reason that I don't like posting pictures of myself online anymore. Even though I know most people aren't like that [I've received more compliments that negatives, but it's the negatives that stick out to you], it's hard when you think the internet is a place where you think you are accepted and can get away from all of that crap, but then it comes back at you.

Oddfan · #87 07-11-2004, 06:43 AM

I have one thing to say, I agree with the raisin

TheRaisin · #88 07-11-2004, 11:32 AM

Ugh, yeah there are those people.

ClaireBear · #89 07-11-2004, 11:02 PM

Oddfan...

:

my parents fight all the time I used to get beat untill now I can fight back since i'm not just a 10 year old, I never get any good attention from them sometimes they get drunk,

First and formost.. you're parents/care givers' behaviours is NOTHING to do personally with you or your behaviour. Never blame yourself for their actions.. they are people and adults their decisions are their own. Their behaviour may be wrong and hurtful.. its excellent that you have recognised this fact. If things get too bad their are options for seeking help... not only for you but also for your parents... they need help to stop them behaving in this way just as you need help to get through their behaviour.

My dad also drinks / drank... if you wanna pm me... I'm here Mon-Friday 8-5 British time!

:

I have an eye disease called rp which means my eye vision is slowly dying and I'm already starting to lose it and by the time I'm 30 I'll be legally blind,

This is really hard... unsure what to say other than to try to make the most of the time you have left with sight. Being partially sighted / blind in the modern age is not as deabilitating as it once was. I went to uni with a blind and also a profoundly deaf student... both girls were studying for a degree, went to the bars and were really well adjusted people.

:

I'm always made fun of cause of my height I'm really short only 5' 1 and 1/2 I never had any friends I would just sit there alone at recess and cry when I was younger and all my siblings dislike me all they do is try to convinve my parents that I'm a failure but I guess I am, I'm failing out of high school I've already failed 3 classes, so I'm just stupid, the only ppl who I ever felt safe with my grandparents died from lung cancer they were smokers,

Kids/teens can be cruel... I was bullied at school too. Differences whether positive or negative is the only cause for it. what I did is try to think of my differences as a positive thing.. like I was fat... but it meant I matured quicker than the other girls in my class so while they were still flatter than an ironing board in the chest dept I had a rather nice 34B cleavage! Don't let the b*stards get you down... then they've won... its easy to say but honestly this kind of experinces only make us stronger.

Your height... looking at your profile OF I can see you're 14... a boys greatest spurt in growth usually happens after this and blokes can keep on growing til they're 21! My ex was 5ft2 until he was 16.. I saw the photos.. his mum was taller than him! By the time he was 18 he had spurted an extra foot... and is now a not to be sniffed at 6ft1! There's plenty of time yet... don't worry about it just yet.

I am sure you're not stupid. I'm a qualified teacher and your sensitive post doesn't portray a stupid individual. It does show someone under great strain and stress and these factors can contribute to low accademic acheivement. I know it may be hard but try and talk to a teacher you trust or the school counsellor about your feelings.. then maybe your teachers will understand why you're not doing so well and perhaps help you emotionally and accademically. I know I would want to help you in any way I can.

:

and I only have had 5 gfs my entire life and all of them I had at the age of 14 and all of them were fat and fugly, except for the one I have now the perfect girl for me and then no my life has to suck so her mom separates us, so I'm just alone in the world with no one to be with and no one to care about me, so my whole life is a sad story.

Again OF... looking at you're profile you are 14. Although you sound very advanced and mature emotionally for your age your peers may not be. Although you may be ready for a girlfried and commitmant the girls you have feelings for may just still want to hang around the mall complaining about boys and how stupid they are not how much they fancy them. There is plenty of time for you to get a girlfriend... I didn't have my first boyfriend til I was 17!!! (Don't laugh!

) I now the presure o your medical condition must make you feel like you need to cram everything in right now but like I say a disability is no longer a disability in the modern age.

Hope this helps... didn't quite know what to say... if you want to talk further pm me... anytime... I will get back to you.

Remeber you're not alone.. you have all of us here.

Claire xxx
