Sophiie.xO: Serious Weight Issue. Need Some Advice Please.?
I am 14 years old. I weigh 7 1/2 stone. And i am 5″10. At school i get bullied EVERYDAY,By the same people, and other people in different years stare at me. The bullies call me “anorexic” and say i should eat. The truth is i do eat, i eat loads, whenever my mum goes shopping for crisps, chocolate bars, all the regular groceries plus packed lunches for school, i always eat it all. Meaning my mum has to shop for more. I have recently been going to the doctors for check ups as i have a high blood pressure and the doctors say i should ignore the bullies as i am not anorexic i just have a very high metabolism meaning i can eat what i want, whenever i want, and as much as i want but i will not pput any weight on. Its very depressing as my friends understand about my weight but even in the changing rooms when we get changed for P.E at school, i often see them looking at me. One of my friends said that they “wish they had my figure” but i know she is saying it out of pity. I have never thought i was overweight i have always had a perfectly average weight until i started highschool. That is when i started growing rapidly and as i grew taller i grew thinner as my body stretched. I have most recently been bullied from the boys for having “small breasts” from being a 30c which i also get bullied by as no one beleives i am that size. And i read somewere that weightloss can cause this. I was reading a magazine erlier this day and i saw an image of an anorexic girl. I do not look skeletal. I am tall, lanky and very thin, but my bones do not jut out unless i am in an awkward position. ( like when i bend over my spine juts out) I get so depressed and am often in tears from the bullying. Please help me, if you could give me some advice that would be great.
P.S sorry this was so long.
P.P.S This doesnt run in my family and i have never neglected my body by starving it.
Thanks.

1. Your friends were probably serious. They would like to be able to eat anything and never gain weight. Most people would like to have that.
2. You are young and still growing. Your metabolism will likely change significantly over the nest few years. Don’t worry about it.
3. Those same kids that are bullying you will weigh 15 stones in a few years and it will be your turn to laugh at them.
4. My advise – eat a healthy diet and don’t obsess over your weight. Everyone’s metabolism slows after they stop growing which is between 16-18 for girls. Practice healthy eating now and you will never have to worry about your weight.
Answer by roxypink123I have been through all the same stuff as you! Just ignore them! The truth is that they are just jealous that you can eat whatever you want and not gain weight. I’m 15 and unfortunately have crohn’s and need an ng tube to gain weight (I was deadly underweight 85lbs at 5’8″) and people even doctors assumed it was for anorexia! People think life would be great if you are really skinny but the truth is as you know it is not all that great! I’m here to talk whenever you want! Hope this helps! =)
