People Truly Baffle Me

I've noticed this for a good long time. Why is it that people make fun of people who are fat? (or make fun of people in general) I mean, seriously, I was watching some of Tyra and there were some teens who were overweight on there and they said that people actually made fun of them and called them fat bitches and even went to the extent of making Myspace pages about them. Seriously? Why would people do that? What can they possibly get out of it?

I mean, okay, so a teenager sees another teenager walking down the hall. That person is overweight. Okay? So where does the need to say, "Hey you're fat," or "Hey fatass" arise? I guess it makes them feel better to make someone else's day crappy? Yeah like that never backfires. And one girl said that people stare at her. Why? I don't get this. Okay, so someone's overweight. I, myself, have a shit ton of other things to be thinking about then why someone is overweight and what I can say to make that person feel bad. And that's just mean. It accomplishes nothing except making someone feel bad.

And no, I'm not an overweight person who's wondering why this happens to her. But I knew a lot of people way back even in junior high who did that. I even remember this one time where the girl I was talking to said something about "Oh my God that girl is so fat," and pointed. Firstly, I found this to be bad manners because my mother really didn't like my brother and I pointing at people and she would really discourage us. I remember turning and then saying to the one girl, "Yeah...?"

Who cares if someone's overweight? Don't people have other things to be worrying about? And who knows why that person is overweight. Maybe that person has a medical condition. Maybe that person has been emotionally scarred or something. Whatever the reason, it's really nobody's business and definitely not anybody's business to make comments. Grow up, people.
