Fat people know it's not healthy. How can they not know? It's everywhere you look! Your condescending, pretended helpfulness is not helpful. One CAN be beautiful even when unhealthy (including skinny people), but that is beside the point. The point is to build confidence and support them so people have the mental reserves to care and help themselves, not dig them deeper into the hole.

Mister Mister: wait a second. You think starving can make people lose weight ? Lmao ... Not true. It may work for some people. But what's the point of losing weight of you're doing it unhealthily ? Some people have conditions that doesn't allow them to lose weight even if they try their hardest.

Mister Mister: I'm overweight and I agree with you. We have to respect people of every size, but not all sizes are healthy. And yes, losing weight isn't bad if it's for your own good health. Body positivity is knowing your fat, loving yourself so much that you work towards getting to a healthy weight.

Mister Mister, I'd just like to say that your opinion about overweight people is rude and inconsiderate. (As evidenced by the fact that all of your comments have negative scores and more than half were hidden. Also because every time someone comes up with a counterargument to the "she could just eat less, and then she wouldn't get bullied" nonsense, you tell everyone that they "can't handle the truth". You're doing exactly what you, and the original article writer, were warning against. You're trying to bully an entire comment section.

It really sucks to bullied.

Basically, Mister Mister you speak the truth, but you really should alter the wording to suit their feelings, or else you'll get bullied by them.

They can't argue against me because they know it's true

They're just triggered by the truth my friend. They downvote but don't have an argument to pose against me. Why? Because they don't like things that don't suit their feelings. It's not healthy to be fat. It's not a sign of beauty either. I care about people's health, that's why I'm here. Your health comes first, then your soppy feelings.

That was NOT the only reason she was bullied. Some people do get picked on for non fat related reasons you know, and she was also picked on because of how she spoke. I was bullied at school and was skinny. If all you can do is go on about her weight then you are just another bully.

Shut up Mister Mister. Do you think you wouldn't fall into depression if you were bullied from the age of 7.

oh good grief, you can still have a beautiful face even if you are over weight. Weight is not the only thing people get bullied for. I've seen plenty of plus sized girls in the popular crowds of school. Also, just because she is over weight does not give anyone the right to put her down.

So what you're saying is it's not the bullies that are the problem it's her. Everyone has difficulties with something, but if it's something that makes you feel like being nasty it's a poorer reflection on you.

Wow, so many people are so offended because I'm speaking the truth. Honesty is the best policy. I don't endorse bullying, I'm saying she can avoid bullying. Seriously, if you keep calling obese people beautiful, they're going to have a hard life. Fat people die sooner than regular people.

Like, if a woman is fat and call her that, you get called a bigot and sexist, but if you call a man that nobody cares, and the feminists would call you "brave".

But there's nothing about me that they could pick on. I don't overeat, I don't get triggered easily, I don't brag. All she has to do is eat less. It's not hard. She's going to get diabetes and cardiovascular diseases if she doesn't stop. How come everyone is calling her beautiful when she isn't? Isn't honesty the best policy?

Hey, I'm just saying, if she didn't eat much, bullies won't primarily target her. besides, if she loses weight, it can change the way she speaks. Look at the shape of her face, she can't utilize the cheek muscles to say the words correctly. With fat people, their voices sound muffled, but when they lose weight, they sound more clear and normal. Besides, she's going to get heart diseases if she doesn't

Oh, Mister Mister, do stop droning on. She is overweight but she still should not be bullied. No-one here is going on about size 30 bar you. No one is claiming it is healthy. Parents should do more to provide their children with a healthy diet but so many of them don't know how to cook or have any idea about nutrition. Growing up overweight makes it far harder to lose weight. If it was easy to lose weight don't you think that there would be far fewer fat people? Actually, I don't care - just STOP justifying the bullying. As if bullies usually stop at just fat people - a bully will use any argument to hurt their target. They are unpleasant individuals who need a major life lesson to get them to realise that they are simply unpleasant people.

Mister Mister the man with broken wings. An awesome song from the 80s, but you put that song to shame. People that are fat are usually not blind or stupid, so there's no need to point out something they already are aware of just like a scar. You bully people with scars, really? That's messed up man.

Of course it's bullies who need to change. But you see, she doesn't have impediments, scars, or glasses. She is just fat. She is able change too, unlike those who actually have impediments

Hey, I got bullied too, that's why I'm telling people how to avoid it so they don't have to go through what I went through. yeah, the man with the broken wings. I took the broken wings and learnt to fly again, and live so free.

Yeah Captain, Medications, mental health, social deprivation, self-esteem and genetics all play a role in our ability to control our weight, and judgment is never a constructive approach. But suggesting that being a size 30 is just as healthy as being a size 12 isn’t a body-positive message either – it’s an irresponsible form of denial.

weight-related hospital admissions have rised by 18%, we are in the middle of an obesity crisis while the starving kids in Africa have nothing to eat. If they really want equality, they should eat less so that some of that food can be used by those who actually need it.

I never said I liked bullying. Bullying is the main reason for people to have depression. While I would try to be supportive of those being bullied, I still tell them the truth, as a lie only boosts their self-esteem, nothing else.

Shut up, She is strong and beautiful! I’ve been bullied for 10 goddam years! Chloe is amazing and a strong person! You should be ashamed that you said this is the first place.Everyone should be accepted no matter who they are! You should be in her shoes and see how you feel then! Next time think before you type! Also I do know that this was a year ago, and I hope you changed your mind on this, and if you don’t I hope you will someday you do.

I agree. It isn't envy. It's unpleasant people who spot a 'weakness' in someone else and think it would be funny to exploit it and be cruel. They use it as a way to get others to side with them, and as it's better to join in than get picked on too, others do join them. Make a safe little clique. It is also used to make themselves feel better. The 'at least I'm not fat' type of mentality. Or whatever 'flaw' they've picked on. The people who bullied others at my school were all very popular and showed off a lot. Picking on people who were slower, wore glasses, stuttered. Once we left school they turned out to be nothing very special at all. Didn't get good jobs or have an amazing career. Just turned out to be as ordinary as most people. Though they have to live with the knowledge that they were a bully.

With speech impediments, you can actually use them to your advantage and become popular with the rest of the group. Trust me, I've seen it happen many times. In fact, the most beloved people back in my school were the ones with impediments. But the ones who were fat, had it rough.
