1. Wood Benches, Ouch!

Wooden benches and wooden seats. Oh my god. More than 2 minutes is sooo uncomfortable. I need a cushion.

** 2. Rude comments**

I wouldn’t dream of telling someone they were overweight, so why is it OK to tell me I look like a stick insect and ask when I last ate a decent meal?

3. No weight to spare...

If you get sick, you lose weight you can’t afford to lose, and end up looking skinnier than ever!

4. Shopping

Finding clothes to fit. I don’t have so much trouble with tops, but trousers and jeans are a nightmare to buy. I need a belt to stop them falling down…

5. Rude!

People are very patronizing, especially if you are not very tall. I have actually been patted on the head. What am I, a dog?

6. Eating disorders?

The assumption that you have an eating disorder. Because of course someone couldn’t be naturally thin, could they? Annoying...

7. Gain Weight? Yeah, Right!

It’s a LOT harder to gain weight than lose it when you’re naturally slim. I have tried and tried, and even supplements make no difference. When you're naturally slim, you can't gain weight, even if you try!

8. It's All My Fault...

All the articles about skinny celebs. Some may diet too much, but slimness is criticized as if it is something inherently bad. We get the blame for women and girls aspiring to be thinner. Why? How is it my fault?

Now, I believe that we have a natural size, and I am how I’m meant to be. What do you think? Is it unfair to pick on skinny people? Or do you pick on thinner people? Please let me know!

Oh, my God. Don't tell me. It hurts to sit down? Oh, poor thing. It almost makes obesity seem like something to scoff at! (Just for the record, I'm definitely not obese. I just found that particular comment annoying)

More than the post, I actually loved reading all the comments :D Point is, we all think the grass is greener on the other side. Skinny people want to put on weight. Overweight people want to lose weight. Who do we blame? The brainwashing media and society, I'd like to think. The only thing we should really ask ourselves is are we healthy? Of course then life would be too easy...

Yourmum - I would rather not be criticised at all for my size. Calling someone a toothpick or calling them fat - both mean.

my cousin is naturally slim and i am the exact opposite. so no matter how much i say i wanted to be like her, or no matter how much she says she wanted to be like me we don't understand each other. i have never been skinny, and she's never been fat. if you're naturally skinny or obese you don't understand the opposite, this is how it goes.

I've never been skinny , and I could only dream of eating and not gaining weight . I usually pick on naturally very skinny people , because I'm just jealous of them - why are they born skinny , while I constantly have to worry about my weight ? You are very lucky that you're skinny .

i agree a lot with this article because i am naturally skinny too. it really is nerve cracking when u complain that u have lost weight and everybody gives you nasty looks. it does drives you crazy when u go shopping and since brands are making clothes bigger for bigger people (i'm not against this)you can't find anything fitting.there are still girls who are naturally really skinny and it is a nightmare trying to gain weight. for me it's almost impossible, i have only managed to gain 4 pounds in 6 months and i lost it past week i had my end of semester examinations. i think naturally skinny girls really get what it is like to struggle with clothing and dieting and people making low taste jokes about your body. we get what does fatty girls go through, even when we are in the exact oposite situation. so, when u meet a naturally skinny girl, be a reasonable person and don't tease her about it, she has no control of her metabolism at all.
